Improvably Bad: Books

Buckle your seatbelts and brace for impact—this is the final flight of Improbably Bad Books! 🚀 Jill, Zoe, Aaron, and Micah blast off into Becky Chambers’ The Long Way to a Small and Angry Planet, a space opera full of wormholes, found family, and one surprisingly helpful hot, wet washcloth. The improv crew goes out with a bang (and a barf bag), taking you on a wild ride through deep space, angry planets, and snack cart negotiations.

We also reflect on what makes a book—and a podcast—worth sticking around for. Spoiler: it's the weirdos you take the journey with. ❤️ Thanks for being part of our crew.

undefined - Maus: Graphic Novel

Maus: Graphic Novel

The crew takes on Maus, Art Spiegelman’s powerful graphic novel about survival, trauma, and family. Along the way, we get sidetracked by Mouse Hunt, Weird Al, and some questionable improv. We also dig into the importance of reading controversial books, the rise of graphic novels, and how humor can (sometimes) help us process tough topics.
