Lovable Losers With Scott Simon

from The Gist Hosted by Peach Fish Productions

The Chicago Cubs used to be the Susan Lucci of baseball. Now they're looking more like Meryl Streep. As a fan, how do you become accustomed to winning? Scott Simon has written a memoir about his life as a too-devoted Cubs fan and how he's adjusting to life as a winner. Simon is also the host of Weekend Edition Sunday from NPR. In the Spiel, we bid farewell to a beloved, deeply tender jerk. Join Slate Plus! Members get bonus segments, exclusive member-only podcasts, and more.
