Episode 36: Simone de Beauvoir's THE MANDARINS

Explicit content warning

07/20/22 • 116 min

A couple technical (battery) hiccups fragment the show a little at the beginning, but not necessarily to its detriment. Beauvoir is a writer that Jonah has wanted to do for some years and it's fun to get around to that period of French letters and another female - though our depth in reviewing Beauvoir's THE SECOND SEX is quite limited.

Another two hours to come hang out in the bookstore.

Episode 35: The Drug Show (a podcast about Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation)

This felt pretty good after we'd finished. The format Jonah always had in mind for the function of the podcast. A lot of Will talking with some pointed questions and secondary material thrown in. Some other secret magic may also have been involved. Come sit in the bookstore for a while.

Episode 37: Two Stories

Another fictional supplement to the podcast. Two independent stories which have been recorded for your listening interest (written far apart with very different styles).
The first story is a touch of exaggerated reality - with an artist who makes exceptional pictures in the foam of coffee. The second story is a Henry Miller inspired first person wander through a mysterious death and a "postmodern" deconstruction of the mystery genre. The second story begins 24 minutes in.
