10: The Neverending Story May 07, 2025

Show notes

My friend Chael (@NarratorChael) is back to discuss one of her favorite books from her tweenage years: Michael Ende's THE NEVERENDING STORY. Written by a man whose artist father was literally persecuted for being degenerate by the Nazis, THE NEVERENDING STORY is a beautiful consideration on depression and passion and what it means to be a child in a world that really seems to hate children.

Make sure to subscribe to get the second installment on THE NEVERENDING STORY next week!

Chael's other work includes the podcasts Once Upon a Rewatch (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-rewatch/id1553803675) and Vampires Ruined My Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vampires-ruined-my-life/id1584585139).

9: So, Your Favorite Author Turned Out To Be Evil... Now What? - Danielle Ryan Apr 30, 2025

Show notes

TW: Rape, sexual assault, CSA, TERF politics, JK Rowling, Neil Gaiman, grooming, racism, domestic violence

I suppose the title says it all. My friend Danielle Ryan (@danirat on Bluesky) is back to have this weird and uncomfortable and emotional conversation about how parts of our souls are inextricably linked to art we loved... and what happens to our souls when it turns out the artists are absolute shitbags.

Back for season seven, longtime friend-of-the-show Malavika Praseed (@MalavikaIsWriting over on Instagram) is here to talk not about her favorite book, but a book that ticks very few of her boxes– Antoine de Saint-Exupery's THE LITTLE PRINCE. We ask a nearly century-old question: who is this book actually for?

7: Call of the Wild - Peter Huycke Apr 16, 2025

Show notes

Did we manage to talk for over an hour about one of the shortest books Americans were ever assigned in school? Yes, we did! I'm joined by Peter Huycke (https://bsky.app/profile/p1huycke.bsky.social) to discuss Jack London's CALL OF THE WILD, dog socialism, and the American need to be the lead dog.

At the end of the episode, Peter suggests reading SCARBOROUGH by Catherine Hernandez, and you can find the book on Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/p/books/scarborough-catherine-hernandez/9986609?ean=9781551526775&next=t

6: The Guide - Amrita by the Book Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

Guys, I am genuinely sorry. Between jury duty and work stuff, I did not have the time to edit up one of the new shows I have recorded. BUT! I am re-posting one of my absolute favorite episodes from seasons past. I hope you can enjoy it and forgive me!

My guest is Amrita By The Book (https://www.instagram.com/amrita_by_the_book) whom I've lost some contact with since Twitter decided to go fascist. Take a look at all of her posted content, and hope that she is well!

5: Wicked - David and Matt of Thank You, Five Apr 02, 2025

Show notes

We managed to condense a few hundred pages of intrigue, fascism, religion, queer love, and feminism into a bite-sized podcast chat! We tackle Gregory Maguire's groundbreaking WICKED in this episode, and have teamed up with Thank You, Five's David and Matt to discuss the musical and movie(s) on their show!

3: Watership Down - Danielle Ryan Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

The wonderful, fantastic Dani Ryan (@DaniRat) is here to discuss that book about bunnies that isn't about anything but bunnies, nope, not in the least. Let's silflay a while and get into some weird animal facts, our love for BigWig, and if you want a real treat, you have to become a Patron for the full-length episode *and* to see screen grabs from the video of when I looked up General Woundwort from the 1970s cartoon for the first time. You won't regret it!

2: Perry Mason - Abby @ClapIfYouLikeMe Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

Abby (online as @ClapIfYouLikeMe) is one of the only practicing lawyers I know, so I called on her to help me discuss one of the now-archetypal characters in American Lit– the rogue lawyer known as Perry Mason, the centerpiece of the decades-long series written by Erle Stanley Gardiner.
