Description
It's a book club, but funny!
Comedian Michael Ian Black is tackling a great work of literature: Wuthering Heights.
Join Michael's weekly book club as he reads aloud from a classic and asks people like Jen Kirkman, Mike Birbiglia, Michael Showalter, and even his teenage kids to weigh in with their perspectives.
Season 1: Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure. The book is bleak, but Michael does a lot of accent work.
Season 2: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It's alive, and it's just a big buddy. Also, more accent work.
Season 3: Wuthering Heights. It's a love story? Who knows
Season 4: American Tragedy. Also a potential title of this podcast

man, I love this podcast
i love it! i loved it when my ancient quirky high school Brit-Lit teacher had us read it and I overjoyed to hear it from ancient quirky high school Michael Ian Black.
I hope MIB finds another book and keeps doing this.
this is fantastic! keep this up!
Please start another book after this!
asswipe, self important dick head
Fan since the episode of 1. This is hands down my tried and true favorite podcast. I've had a contentious admiration of MIB since I was a wee babe... I understand him now and consider him a radio BFFL. I'm also grateful for his wife, Martha, who seems to have made him funnier.
I am dreading the end of Jude's story because I need this podcast to go on forever. Michael, please fine another obscure text to read post haste
just checking in again. I am enjoying this so very much.
This is the best one imo 😂
A lovely episode.
This is my favorite podcast. I can't wait for each episode.
Such a big fan of Obscure.
just started listening today and I am enjoying it very much,
Thank you for opening the seltzer can. I feel like Arabella is getting some heat from MIB.... maybe undue repressed "stuff" or something? There's a tone for sure.... Maybe Mr. Hardy bleeding through?
I love this podcast so much. I'm always excited to see new projects from The State alumni, especially Michael Ian Black. He is always so much "in character," even as himself, but I feel that with Obscure he's letting us peek behind the curtain a bit more - even than in his other podcasts at the genuine Michael. I love audiobooks, and Michael is an excellent reader. His interspersed commentary adds wonderfully to the experience. This is *not* a terrible idea. I am already dreading the end of "Jude the Obscure," and I hope he continues with another book.
This is a really funny and engaging podcast! I look forward to listening every week!
