This is the first episode of Cook Blub, a podcast about books, hosted by Joel Batham, a Brisbane comedian who can both read AND write. This episode features fellow Brisbane comedian Jack Gramenz, executive producer of The Lucas Warmtake Half Hour. We begin with our recent reading histories, and Rick Morton's One Hundred Years of Dirt is discussed in some detail. Our main book this week is Get Poor Slow by David Free, his debut crime novel.

You can find The Lucas Warmtake Half Hour through Jack's social media accounts, or just search on your podcast app, it's a distinctive name.

On our next episode my guest, Ryan Sim, and I discuss George Saunders' story collection, Tenth of December. It's most likely available at your library. Episodes are fortnightly.
