This week’s episode is quite possibly the wildest one yet . . . Chad paid a BookTuber for some promotional love and, well, you’ll have to watch\/listen to see how that went. Then they talk about outsiders, Franco Moretti, autofiction, HE-IKEA (the Writer’s nemesis), overblown rants about reading and phones, and much more.<\/p>\n
This week’s music is “Date with IKEA” by Pavement.<\/p>\n
