Book Cult

Putin has been on his bullshit since before Y2K. This episode will teach you so much about what has been going on in Russia for decades and the book will teach you even more because we couldn't even cover everyone involved in this corrupt system. Do we pronounce any of the Russian names correctly? Probably not but we tried and I'm sorry. If you want to rage with us after this episode please do so by calling your state representative and tell them you want more aid to go to Ukraine.

In this edition of story time Delaney finally talks about The Yellow Wallpaper and if you have ever had beef with wallpaper you will LOVE this story. I mean wow, can't believe it is real. Sydney goes in a completely different direction and talks about the first chapter (and some change) of Poison For Breakfast by Lemony Snicket. Thanks for listening *wink*

Warning: Animal abuse. Today we are talking about White Fang by the famous millionaire socialist & eugenics fanatic, Jack London. Get ready for lots of talk about dogs because that's all this book is (but like in a bad way). Also, if you plan on reading it I do suggest the abridged version.

Warning: this episode is about murder and mutilation. On today's mini episode, Delaney tells us about Ed Gein. Why are we talking about a murderer? Because Delaney went to Texas and got really into Texas Chainsaw Massacre so of course you all must know about the inspiration for Leatherface. Enjoy?

Get ready to puke your guts out because we are talking about Texas Chainsaw Massacre! Nope, not the movie (well we do but whatever) it's the book Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Film that Terrified a Rattled Nation by Joseph Lanza. In this book we get a lot of background about what was going on in America while the movie was being filmed, which was a lot of Nixon and serial killers. Idk how anyone lived past 1979.
