This week, we've twice the storytelling fun for you: two Cautionary Tales shorts, previously only available to Pushkin+ subscribers. A Monkey for Mayor: It was supposed to be a publicity stunt, but when the man who dressed as Hartlepool United's monkey mascot stood in a mayoral election... he won. Actual politicians predicted disaster - since thousands of workers and millions of dollars were now in the hands of a complete novice. But H'Angus the Monkey proved to be a more effective leader than anyone had predicted, raising interesting questions about how we select the best people to be our managers and our mayors. And A Screw Loose At 17,000 Feet: Can you tell the difference between an A211-7D bolt and an A211-8C? Well, nor could the tired and stressed engineer fitting a cockpit windshield to Flight 5390. The difference is tiny, but the consequences of muddling them up - which played out at 17,000 ft - were dramatic. Such design flaws are common - and result in far more loose aircraft windows than you would imagine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A recent book purchase led me on a Western binge. Two stood out from the crowd The Big Trail and The Ox-Bow Incident. Both very different and both quite excellent. Enjoy.

His analysis helped shape a generation of critics and audience members alike, including his work with Gene Siskel that arguably paved the way for film podcasts like this one.

What was Al Pacino like before he danced around with headphones hooked to his Shrek cased phone? How badly did North destroy Rob Reiner's miracle run?
