We do the closest thing to a bonus episode. We get meta: lifting the veil on how we do the podcast, what we listen to, and the friends we’ve made along the way. Also lots of copyright, AI, and Georges Bataille.

This week we’re talking about John Rogers, a memorabilia mogul who flew too close to the sun (fueled by cocaine) by buying up newspaper photo collections and promising digital archives in return, while flogging the rarest photos for a profit. A warning to libraries and museums to be careful when a new digitization scheme rides into town!

We have the wonderful Ben and Matt on to talk about their new comic Justice Warriors, but also about the role of satire, book bans, cops in libraries (e.g. Winnipeg), and cuts to the social safety net in favor of cops where libraries become the service point of last resort.

Welcome to the first episode of Tender Subject! This week, we're going over the whats and whys of this podcast. Why cannibalism? Why aren't we talking about True Crime? We also talk a little bit about the current cannibal craze in media and why we always need to justify our enjoyment. Finally, we do a show & tell for each other about something we might not do an entire episode on but wanted to talk about anyway.

Media Discussed:

2022 Was the Year of the Cannibal. What Does That Say About Us?

We the Parasites by A.V. Marraccini

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind
