Wherein I shamelessly promote our new Goodreads discussion group, get VERY excited about new Sandman comics, rave about some excellent SFF books written by women of color, make a pretty bad joke about Octavia Butler's Fledgling, and talk New Orleans Poetry Festival with Bill Lavender. Here's more information on the fest: http://www.nolapoetry.com/

Like our new music? That's "Brave" by Jonathan Coulton, off his newest album Solid State. You can find it here: https://www.jonathancoulton.com/
