Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 25: Stranger in a Strange Land (Part 2)
In this episode I look at the middle third of Robert A. Heinlein's STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND. We take a closer look at the word "grok" and its in-world meaning.

Robert A. Heinlein: Episode 88: Stranger in a Strange Land (Part 1)
In this episode I begin my look at Robert A. Heinlein's STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND. We will have a lot to talk about over these three episodes as this is a thematically rich book. The first third of the book is doing a lot of set up and drags at times, but nevertheless this one is worth attempting.

Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 87: All You Zombies
I am a bit backed up in producing episodes because I am wrangling with two larger novels (STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND and ANOTHER COUNTRY). Hopefully those episodes will be ready next week. For now, we can look at Heinlein's short story "All You Zombies", a time travel story with a trans twist.

Episode 652: James Baldwin: Giovanni's Room
Want to read a very sad novel about expats in Paris? Try James Baldwin's GIOVANNI'S ROOM. I loved it and am fully convinced that Baldwin is a beautiful writer. This short novel is full of theme and is certainly worth a read or two.

Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 85: Starship Troopers (Part 1)
In this episode I review the first half of STARSHIP TROOPERS by Robert A. Heinlein and discuss all of the "History and Moral Philosophy" sections and the claims often made about Heinlein's politics. In the next episode I will discuss the rest of the book and its legacy.
Customer Reviews
Good stuff
Seriously, more people should be listening to this.
A Must Listen!
I really appreciate the discussions on Lovecraft from an academic POV. The talks are always engaging and fun and I learn a lot and get new insights into the stories and Lovecraft himself. Like on Voluminous, Lovecraft’s ideas are often challenged, but I’m confident that if Lovecraft could see the state of the world today he’d feel absolutely vindicated. That aside, this is an amazing podcast and mandatory listening!
Great podcast!
