The Liberal Aren'ts

What even is literature? We just don’t know. It’s probably made up. Author and podcaster Jarod K. Anderson visits the show to tell us about publishing your work, the nature of literature, and writing for yourself.

Clio thinks the University of Michigan is a scam. Jarod thinks Literature just steals what it likes. Science can publish that anywhere. Rissa can be mean…Once.

Publish your work! Duotrope.com and Ralan.com.

Listen, podcasting is not an exact science, and this is not exactly Science’s episode. Editing is good, fam, just remember that.

Rissa hates moist innards. Science promises no death this time. Clio nearly poisons herself with tea.

You know that old Johnny Cash standard? It goes like, “Times’re rough for a King named Sue/ When you die on crusade and there’s nothin’ to do/ When your kid’s a nerd and your empire falls and–” No? Is that just me? That’s just me.

Science is proud to be an American. Clio thought you said puppies. Rissa doesn’t know…how to color. She just can’t do it.

Adam Brandt wants to change the way you think about bees. Sure, they’re insects, but they’re also mathematicians, bureaucrats, clones, fans of Game of Thrones, and fiercely loyal to their moms. Unless their moms aren’t fulfilling their roles as Queens, of course. Fair’s fair.

Rissa watches Magic School Bus. Clio brings on the folklore. Science is your mom now. Adam’s bees are…strong!

NOW That’s What I Call Fanfic! And what Rissa calls a self-involved interactive fiction! And what most people call video games!
