The Broken Shelf

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised.

The concept of the afterlife has strange connotations. There are basically two general trajectories: existence or absence. However, within those two divisions are countless other possibilities, and the numerous theories on those possibilities are what make the concept of the next life so interesting to humans. Hell in particular is the most common. Is it really a place of fire and brimstone ruled by a satyr with red skin? Did he really lose to Tenacious D is a rock off? Better yet, how close was Dante in his "Inferno?" There are, of course, other insane theories such as the Key's of Solomon and his horde of beasts and the works of  Johann Weyer, a Dutch physician who dabbed in the occult and described a militaristic hierarchy in a Hellion kingdom. Whatever the case, Hellion Mythology and symbolism are ingrained in human mythology. So why not use it to our advantage and write and insane action-thriller with Hellion mythology as a device? Fire, bullets, and the devil: what better way to craft an insane urban fantasy novel? Come join Danny as he talks about this crazy fantasy.

This episode doesn't need any introduction music, no fanfare, and no sporadic, hyperbolic high language. This episode is about progress and two cousins having one great conversation about a great book in a great series by a great author. One hundred and fifty means a lot, so come celebrate it with the literary cousins by delving into one of the best worlds ever created and listening to their fun bickering. Thank you to any one that has listened over the years. This intro doesn't need a lot of words, but we thank you nonetheless for joining us through this journey. Enjoy!

For most school sucks. Especially when you have to work on something that will follow you like a nightmare for the rest of your life because it has little intrinsic value. Writing is essential in every day life. We do it all the time, and we read all the time which takes an understanding of writing to an extent because that piece was either written by someone or your comprehension of that piece may vary depending on your own level of craftsmanship. But there is one such device in literature and English that destroys that: the five paragraph essay. The nightmare of school and the bane of English, does the five paragraph essay have real value? Or, as the author of today's piece argues, is it holding back English students in the United States. While this book can be read as an analyst of the US educational system as an extension, one of the most destructive devices is the five paragraph essay, and Danny and the Tsar discuss why it not a good use of kids time by talking about their experiences and how they view education as well as using examples from the book in regards to the not well enough respected, true essay format. It's time to go back to school!

Only Lady knows the danger of two cats. Yes, it's time for double the trouble as Danny tackles two volumes in a single review. Spicing things up by elongating the arc, Danny goes of the covers, compares them, and then jumps into the plot. Using two separate streams of positives and negatives, he cross references the volumes against the other in order to see how far the mangaka has progressed as Danny enters the middles stretch. Is Yuuto better? What can Rinko add? How does Kuesu fare? What do the new villains teach us? And how much fan service can you fit into a manga? All these questions are explored as Danny reviews two for the price of one.

In contemporary culture the biography is one of the most misrepresented genres in literature. How can we learn if we are not willing to listen and accept the stories of those that came before? Millions of come before us, probably billions, and some of the greatest voices have the greatest things to say. So why aren't we listening? What can the lost legends tell us about ourselves? Danny and Alex are here to discuss biographies and argue what the place of the genre is in society today. They talk about their favorite examples, what makes a good or bad biography, why the biography can be as good or better than many fiction books, and where the biography seems to be going. Join to historians as they debate the place of a lost medium and why it is important and will forever be important in literature.

The Thriller can be one of the most engaging genres in fiction, but there are so many of them that it can be intimidating to find a new and entertaining series. Thanks to a famous podcast and a fun interview, Spangar decides to give one of those series a chance and see where it stacks. Comparing and contrasting with movies, talking through the action and terminology, the two literary cousins dissect this military thriller and discuss the novel's positives and negatives. Fun back and forth, interesting conversation, and a lot of laughs as they go on a few tangents. What's not to love about this review?!

Religion is one of the most sensitive topics in contemporary life. Specifically Christianity. What does religious mean for Christians, and where does Christianity belong in the modern world? What if those questions don't matter when the better question is do Christians really know Christianity and Christ? These are the questions posed by the review material today and the two brothers, Danny and Travis, discuss Travis' religious journey, and how Christianity fits in today's society, and even what it could possibly mean. A hot debate, well rounded answers and discussion. Open mindedness. Join a conversation.

What trouble has the cat got into now? That's what Danny is about to find out as his continues down memory lane with one of the first mangas he ever bought. Dissecting the story from character and narrative development, Danny covers volumes five and six to see if a more congruent story delivers on its promises. Can Yuuto break out as a true lead character? Will Kuesu get panel space? Will Lizet go away? All these questions are answered between a duel volume review with a short summary for each and a little P&N. And for a little preview: Two very different ratings!

It's always hard to let go of a good book, but what about a bad book? Or even a sub-standard one? Well, Danny and Allen are here to talk about downsizing and the process they each go through, and than Danny is going to tell us about all the books he is getting ready to sell back. Danny ranks the books from best to worst and explains a little bit about why it's time to go, and he even goes into why he has a hard time saying goodbye to things. Along the way there are a ton of laughs, some deep critical and psychological thinking, and, of course, one really good Danny rant about his least favorite of the books. Come join the fun!
