The Wordy Pair Podcast

This week we're taking a look at one of Pratchett's early Discworld novels--a much thicker book than Equal Rites, Pyramids is an interesting and deeply funny book.

Justin watched another awful superhero movie and we're gonna talk about it.

This time, it's Superman 2025. Is that even the title? I don't know for sure.

This week we're taking a short look at an obscure (in America) manga author and the first part of one of his series.

Yosuke Takahashi is a classic horror manga artist in Japan, but he's barely known here! Fortunately, Justin found a random book in a used book store!

It's creepy, weird, and fun!

Also includes a digression about the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, just because.

We're talking about the famed wilderness horror story "The Wendigo" this week!

It's not quite as polished and poetic as "The Willows," but it still has some great atmosphere and well-built tension!

This week we're doing a review of a weird, imaginative, interesting Japanese novel! What if Yokohama Station in Japan was given the ability to rebuild and expand itself?

The book has many different views of the lives of people living inside and outside of this weird, self-replicating train station. From scavengers to worshippers, different people react differently!

This week we found a weird bit of "writing advice" that really isn't all that advisable. Checklists and absolute statements encourage you to think less, and that's practically never the direction you want to go when writing.

Hopefully our breakdown of this particular stupid list will make you more wary and thoughtful, either as a reader or a writer.

We're finishing up our look at the excellent Some Buried Caesar, by Rex Stout! We are still gonna be spoiling a lot, but we try our best to leave a little mystery at the end.

Lots of discussion of the various funny parts in the second half of the book here, as well as a bit of examination of Wolfe's techniques for interrogation and the handling of evidence.
