Remember the GEICO caveman ads?
Here’s the very first one:
It premiered in 2004, and this story you are about to hear, “The Lost Diaries of a Cro-Magnon Man,” was written right around that time. So credit where credit’s due — thank you, GEICO Caveman! Also, thank you to Michael, who accepted this story for In Posse Review.
For this episode, my audiobook recommendation is not for a book but for a narrator — Grover Gardner. For the last few months, I’ve been listening to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William L. Shirer. It’s more than 57 hours long, and I have five hours to go. Gardner read this book, and he’s also read all of Robert A. Caro’s LBJ books (I’ve listened to the first two). At this point, it’s not crazy to measure this man’s reading in days instead of hours.
