TMR 13.7: “From Dodo to Dada” [ADA, OR ARDOR]

From the International House of Prostitutes to the reunion of Ada and Van, this week’s episode is quite a trip. Chad and Brian talk about dreams, John Garner, Martin Amis on “obscure” and “difficult” novels, how to actually pronounce Van, and much more.

This week’s music is “Money” by Widowspeak.

If you’d prefer to watch the conversation, you can find it on YouTube along with all our past episodes. You can watch episode 8 live next Wednesday where you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, make comments, or correct inaccurate statements.

Follow Open Letter, Chad Post, and Brian Wood for random thoughts and information about upcoming guests.

Be sure to order Brian’s book, Joytime Killbox, which is now officially available at better bookstores everywhere thanks to BOA Editions.
