Death Stranding is not a book or a metal, Bring Me The Horizon's contribution to the soundtrack notwithstanding, so why are we talking about it? Because it's Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's first game since his acrimonious split with the Metal Gear franchise that he's been working on since 1987. It's about being a Deliveroo driver if ghosts were real and could turn you into a bomb. Music by Blind Guardian. Subscribe to us on Patreon for more of this sort of thing:

We're joined by Nathalie Olah to talk about her book Steal As Much As You Can, the only book ever written that will make you feel less crazy.

You probably know that Margaret Atwood's The Testaments won half of a Booker Prize, and you definitely know that we have Takes about that. To help us sort through the book's kind of badly handled depiction of misogyny, we have real-life misogyny expert Annie Kelly from the Q-Anon Anonymous podcast to talk about how the real-life He-man Woman Hater's club has evolved since Trump.

We get Andy Curtis, the entirety of one-man post-post-post-Black Metal band Caïna, on the line to talk about a little of everything but a lot of high weirdness. We start in unlikely reviews in British tabloids and end up in a bizarre real-life tale of UFOs and poltergeist activity. Strap yourselves in warbrothers, warsisters and nonbinary warpersons... and keep watching the skies!

We know what you're thinking: *another* lesbian time travel book? Well hold on, because this is a gorgeously written epistolary time-travel romance from the twin blades of Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It's very good. We use it as a launch point to talk about the nature of time, memory, love and swords - and there's lots more fan service for anime fans!

We've got Jay from Crowhurst on the show for an 'interview' where we don't actually ask questions but more just hang out for an hour. It's fun though and you'll learn a bunch about noise music, cancel culture, appropriating anime symbols, whether Death's album Symbolic is good (it is), and how the weed in the UK is garbage.
