Over The BookJelly Podcast

On 'The BookJelly Podcast', I talk about books, ideas and the world around them – all solo, unfiltered, in my own words. Since my interests are varied, you may find me vacillating between fiction and nonfiction, business strategy and travelogues, essays and poetry, and much more. If you like sharp insights, storytelling without fluff and honest reflections on books that make you think, you’ll feel at home here.

Grand Delusion | The Book That Reframes 40 Years of American Folly

For forty years, across nine presidencies, America kept returning to the Middle East — convinced, each time, that this administration would finally get it right. It never did. In this episode, we dig into Grand Delusion, a fantastic book by Steven Simon — a former Reagan and Obama insider who had a ringside seat to four decades of foreign policy. The book traces a chilling pattern: each president arrives with a new theory, builds policy around it, and leaves the region worse than they found it. Oil? Turns out, that was never really the point. This one is essential listening if you follow geopolitics — or if you've ever wondered how the world's most powerful country keeps making the same expensive, exhausting mistake.

Why Reading Old Books Might Save Your Mind

We live in a time where information is endless, but clarity is rare. You scroll, consume, react… and still feel like you’re going nowhere. In this episode, I dive into Breaking Bread with the Dead by Alan Jacobs, a deceptively small book that quietly challenges how we read, think, and live. Jacobs argues for something almost unfashionable today: read old books. Not for nostalgia. Not for intellectual showmanship. But to deepen your thinking. Because when you engage with the past, you step outside the noise of the present. You stop reacting. You start reflecting. This isn’t a summary. It’s a conversation. About attention, depth, and why most of us are stuck in what Jacobs calls a “frenetic standstill.” If you’ve ever felt mentally cluttered, distracted, or shallow in your thinking… this one’s for you.
