You may think you know Anthony Scaramucci: a Harvard Law School graduate who cut his teeth at Goldman Sachs, went on to build two successful businesses and had an 11-day stint in the White House. What people don’t know is he’s an avid reader, endlessly curious, history buff with a restless mind.
In his new podcast, Open Book, listeners will hear and get to know the real Anthony: the proud son of immigrant parents, a long-suffering New York Mets fan and a father of five. Each week, he’ll invite you into an intimate and open conversation with some of the brightest minds out there, from business, politics, entertainment, and more. Together, they’ll go deep into a piece of work - whether it's a highly anticipated book, an in-depth feature story, or an opinion piece – to dig into why it matters to you, what we can learn from the past, and how their work is shaping our future.
Along the way, you’ll learn more about The Mooch – beyond the headlines – where he came from and how he got here. He’ll turn the pages on his own life lessons from his blue-collar upbringing and career on Wall Street to getting his teeth kicked in the White House and then, coming back stronger. He’ll offer his perspective as a self-made entrepreneur and “open book” with a lot of experience, both good and bad.
Tune in every week to hear fascinating conversations you won’t get anywhere else.

Customer Reviews
Clarity of language equals clarity of thought.
I am inspired by this podcast. Anthony Scaramucci’s questions are incredibly thoughtful. He adds historical context to the ideas illuminate certain ideas with such precise language that I feel I owe tuition after some episodes. His thoughts and the language he uses to express them seem to arrive the same time. Just as he graduated from law school without the intent to practice law, I graduated with a degree in English Literature and likewise found my way into the business world 30 years ago. I found this podcast by accident- and as he learned at “Toughs” - some times remarkable things happen this way.
Recent discovery
Been following/knowing AS for a few years but just learned of the podcast. Great guests and good to find more book focused content!
I won’t call him a comeback kid
To be frank, I only knew of “the Mooch” from the short tenure beside Trump and I decided he must be “guilty by association.” My favorite podcast series is done by the production company Goldhanger and by playing online hopscotch, found the “Rest is Politics” podcast with Anthony. That led me to to this podcast, which focuses each episode on a recent published book. As a fellow bibliophile, my esteem for Anthony has only grown.
I’m thoroughly impressed and I suspect that he will be an overnight success after 3+ decades😉
