Episode 27: Seasonal Living, Seasonal Reading, Winter 2025 Edition

Season 2 · Episode 28

Tuesday, January 28, 2025 • Duration 50:39

In the dark depths of bitter late January, we’re all ready to break out the Birkenstock Arizonas and stretch out in the sun. But what if embracing the winter blues is the happiest, healthiest choice for a more grounded, enjoyable cold snap? Taking a page (literally) from Aldo Leopold, today I recommend my favorite seasonal eats, wears, and practices - along with a few wintery book recommendations to help you make the most of the season.

Episode 17: Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld

Season 2 · Episode 17

Tuesday, October 1, 2024 • Duration 48:51

Throw back to the best years of your life…or the most anxiety inducing, most self conscious, just generally worst years if you happen to be Lee Fiora of Curtis Sittenfeld’s “Prep”, a boarding-school classic exploring the world of the East Coast elite through the eyes of a Midwestern scholarship student. It’s the last of the Broken Spine Social Club back-to-school campus novel series, and we’re in for a truly cringe-worthy ride at Ault School in “Prep”.

Episode 16: Galatea 2.2 by Richard Powers

Season 2 · Episode 16

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 46:32

Episode 15: Galatea 2.2 by Richard Powers

We’re back on campus with our second installment of the Broken Spine Social Club podcast Campus Novel series. Today, we discuss Richard Power’s 1995 ‘Galatea 2.2’, an eerily prescient psuedo-autobiographical novel about learning, human connection and of course, artificial intelligence. What is consciousness, how does Powers’s (maybe??) self-aware software system compare to Chat GPT, where is meaning made and more on today’s deep dive into the world of ‘Galatea 2.2’!

Episode 15: Stoner by John Williams

Season 2 · Episode 15

Tuesday, September 10, 2024 • Duration 45:25

It’s back to school season and in honor of little nerds who grow up to host book-related podcasts, we’re doing a 3-part deep-dive on the campus novel. First up is “Stoner” by John Williams, the genre-defining novel about quiet farm-boy-turned-English-lit-professor in this cult classic about love, literature, and the worth of a life lived in solitude.

Episode 14: Storm of Steel with My Friend Salv

Episode 14

Tuesday, August 13, 2024 • Duration 01:05:33

Who knew a direct translation trench warfare WWI memoir could be so fascinating? Certainly anyone who knows anything about WWI, including my friend Salv. In this episode, we chat about the complicated Ernst Junger and his seminal WWI masterpiece “Storm of Steel”, including what the trenches were really like, what heroism is, and asking ourselves: how do we write about warfare?

Episode 13: The Clan of the Cave Bear with My Sister Moselle

Episode 13

Tuesday, July 23, 2024 • Duration 55:58

“Girl Dinner” gets a whole new meaning in Jean M. Auel’s 1980 “Clan of the Cave Bear”, where my lil’ sister Moselle and I serve up tasty morsels such as what makes a GOOD villain, Mary-Sue-isms, and a Neanderthal delicacy: ptarmigan stuffed with its own eggs.

Episode 12: Less Than Zero with My Cousin Friend Jona

Episode 12

Tuesday, July 16, 2024 • Duration 01:00:51

EPISODE 12: Less Than Zero with My Cousin Friend, Jona

My cousin-friend (and former pod co-host!) Jona and I dive into the wild world of Brett Easton Ellis to discuss his debut novel, Less Than Zero. A fascinating and disturbing look at the world of the 1980's LA elite, Less Than Zero is equal parts literary masterpiece and chaos-riddled teen drama -- which, obviously, we adore. And it wouldn't be Jona & I without some armchair psychoanalysis.

Episode 11: Night Watch with My Boss Cathal

Episode 11

Tuesday, July 9, 2024 • Duration 01:04:41

Time travel, fantasy, and humor combine when my former boss (and friend) Cathal and I sit down to fish for a brand sponsorship from Mythology Whiskey. Oh yeah, we also discuss Terry Pratchett’s powerhouse fantasy-cop satire, “Night Watch”, the 29th installment of the beloved Discworld series. We chat moral v. legal justice, the role of parody in genre, and of course, Supermacs.
