The book is a collection of 37 amazing true stories from folks like Kevin Allison, Aisha Tyler, Marc Maron, Michael Ian Black, Lili Taylor, Ts Madison, Dan Savage, Jonah Ray, Jesse Thorn and ordinary folks from around the world.

Thirty-one of the stories are some of the all-time best stories from the RISK! podcast, and the other six stories are incredible, brand new stories you’ve never heard before. All stories feature a Q and A with the storyteller, and the book also includes an introduction and afterword from Kevin Allison. The stories are not simply transcripts of the stories as they ran on the RISK! podcast. They are all meticulously reworked for the page to electrifying effect.

So whether you’ve heard every episode of RISK!, or you’ve never heard anything we’ve done, if you love jaw-dropping, uncensored true stories that will make you laugh, cry and feel more human, this is the book for you. Amazon.com named the RISK! book one of their Best Books of the Month, Mind Body Green called it “a book you won’t be able to put down,” and Brit + Co says, “You’re going to love this book.”.
