Whenever life gets you down just be thankful that you're not a glorified extra of little to no importance on a poorly written sci-fi show.  This week, the Lushes dive into "Red Shirts" by John Scalzi and try to think outside of The Box.

The Lushes hit the road in honor of the tour that ultimately tore the band apart.  They discuss the fictional band, Daisy Jones & The Six, in the novel of the same name by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Henry Fisher, author of "A New World," saves the day in this episode's Author Spotlight Segment, which also features some vocal work by his adorable puppy, Dodo.  The Lushes also discuss the next book in the Witcher series: "Blood of Elves" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

The Lushes celebrate their first anniversary with A. Lee Martinez, who appeared on their first episode!  Lee joins the Lushes to talk about "The Last Adventure of Constance Verity."  Sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the anomalies.

Angela Roquet is back to chat about "For the Birds", the third book in the Lana Harvey Series.  The Lushes also had the brilliant idea to record from a pillow fort because...adulting is hard sometimes.

The Lushes travel back to the future while discussing "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline.  They also chat with Kolby Granville, co-host of the After Dinner Conversation podcast for this episode's Author Spotlight Segment.

Taylor for the third time, this time we discuss the last book in the Bobiverse trilogy, "All These Worlds."  Dennis answers questions submitted by our listeners. He also gives us the inside scoop on what's next for the Bobs, including some details about "Heaven's River."  You can find the full video interview with Dennis on our Patreon page!

The Lushes take a trip to Fantasy Brooklyn while discussing the second book of the Witcher series, "Sword of Destiny" by Andrzej Sapkowski.  The truth is like a shard of ice, and the truth is that this episode is part of your destiny!
