In this episode, we look at what we’ve been reading (and playing) over the summer, with brief comments about Sarah Kuhn’s Heroine Worship, the Superman Rebirth hardcover edition, Vivian Jackson’s Wanted and Wired, L.E. Modesitt’s Imager, Herge’s Tintin series, and Will Cuppy’s How To Attract the Wombat, plus discussion of Harebrained Schemes’ Battletech. We had a great time discussing some things engaging us in a pretty difficult political climate, and we hope you’ll find the recommendations useful. If you like what you hear, please tune in next week for a discussion of work/life balance in writing and a special announcement coming soon about the future of Speculate, and please spread the word about the show. And thanks as always for listening!
