going off the question calminvasion asked, the book is from the youngest son's perspective but according to Simon it wouldn't work for the whole series so only pieces of it are from the kid's perspective.

they also mention some of the Trumpism parallels and differences. One of them being that Lindbergh being elected president somehow seems far more realistic than Trump being elected. They were both outsider alternatives but Lindbergh was a certified hero, revered by most people playing off America's reluctance to get involved in another european conflict, and was even somewhat measured in the troubling things he said about jews. Trump was just a brash , openly hateful asshole.

lots of good tidbits and info on where the series veers from the source material. Plus Simon is always great to listen to.
