Office Hours - "Literary" fiction, bookstagram, and questionable takes

Show Notes

This week, Matt and Cameron debut the first episode of a new series we’re calling “Office Hours.” Sit down with us as we catch up about our lives, talk about Matt’s thoughts on Reddit and bookstagram, and stray into Cameron’s fascination with a particular alternate history author. We recorded this episode while sipping on Espresso Martinis, per the request of our supporter Kaitlin.

Major themes: What is fiction anyway?, Rodion “Richard” Raskolnikov, Suspicious Civil War literature

2:59 - First mis-speak of the episode and I wasn’t even drunk yet. “IBM” not “IGM.”

3:08 - A fun little tale of Hobby Lobby, stolen artifacts, and tangentially ISIS

30:55 - Politely and Calmly Discussing 1984

The music used in this episode was “Старое Кино / Staroye Kino,” by Перемотка / Peremotka. You can find more of their work on Bandcamp and Youtube.

Check out the work of Shae McMullin, who did our wonderful podcast art.
