The Areas of John Hodgman's Expertise

Did you know that the Dustbowl of the 1930s was spawned by hobos seeking to overthrow the United States government? Or that photographer Walker Evans was dispatched to hunt down and kill as many hobos as he could? Were you aware that all actuaries are marked by tattoos indicating the actuarial tribe to which they belong? Did you know there's an elaborate grift called the "Lenny and Squiggy"?

These and many other facts are enumerated, quite wryly, by Daily Show correspondent and computer impersonator John Hodgman in audiobook "The Areas of My Expertise". For some reason, all 7 or 8 hours are available on iTunes for free. I have no idea why or for how long, so get to clicking.
