Episode 004: Burning Chrome
Welcome to the fourth Wolf Podcast.Today I’m talking with Jayson Young from the Mangaroos! It’s a great show where the hosts read the first issue of a manga in Japanese and then discuss it in English. Check it out!We’re talking William Gibson’s Burning Chrome, his short story collection. There are some intersections between some of these stories and the Sprawl Trilogy I previously discussed. The collection is…well, not our favorite! Let’s just leave it at that for now.We discuss our various issues with Gibson’s stories and his writing while also discussing some of the strengths.Music by Bart Larsen. Everything else done by me, I guess. Get full access to Wolf at radicaledward.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 003: Mona Lisa Overdrive
Welcome to the third Wolf Podcast.Today I’m talking with J David Osborne, the Founder of Broken River Books. Find him at his substack The Broken River Writers' Collective and on tiktok at @brbjdo. He’s also the author of a number of books, including the cyberpunk series Gods Fare No Better. One of my favorite writers and a long time friend.We’re talking William Gibson’s Mona Lisa Overdrive, the final book in the Sprawl trilogy. It functions as a sequel to both Neuromancer and Count Zero, picking up characters from both and throwing them into a narrative together. We have a lot to say about this one, and especially the ways it fails to deliver. We also take this time to discuss the trilogy as a whole and Gibson’s impact on science fiction.Music by Bart Larsen.

One of my favorite writers and a long time friend.We’re talking William Gibson’s Neuromancer, one of the most important books of the late 20th century. Probably doesn’t even require an introduction.
