WELCOME BACK EVERYONE, MY GOD WE'VE MISSED YOU SO UNBELIEVABLY MUCH!!! And WOW!! What a crazy episode this turned out to be. We just get straight to it, Sov has a lot of changes to announce, including the upcoming release of her first book, Which we are all incredibly excited about. This weeks episode is VERY SPICY! BE FOREWARNED, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS AROUND YOUR KIDS OR PARENTS OR ANYWHERE IN PUBLIC. We talk very explicitly about history of erotic fiction, as it pertains to depictions of monsters inflagrante delecto (AKA doing sex.) From ancient Greek mythology, all the way up to World of Warcraft. ANNND, As a special treat, if you stay to the end, you can hear Josh read the first chapter from Sov's upcoming novel, Above Snakes! 

Welp... looks like were in the prologue of a YA dystopian novel. Hope our protag has the pluck and gumption to tackle this one, cuz we're running out of ideas!

Hope you and your loved ones are safe and well! We talk about the LA wildires and its potential impact of the future of LA, delve into a little bit about how disaster's can drive policy, and touch on the (maybe) the final days of Tiktok.
