Welcome, prospective listeners, to the We Are The Deluge podcast, a spoiler-free chapter-by-chapter podcast about the climate change novel The Deluge by Stephen Markley. In this prologue episode, your hosts for our climate fiction journey, Emily Crandall and John McMahon, introduce the novel, the show, their podcasting vibes, their political theory nerd-dom, and the over-ambitious structure of this podcast that pairs perfectly with this strikingly epic (in all senses) novel. Join us, won’t you?

Our theme music is from “I Can’t See the Milky Way Anymore” by Alex Rudnick. We heartily encourage you to check out Alex’s music.
