Hail Mizar! The Blood Incantation Interview
We got 'em! We scored an interview with Isaac of Blood Incantation, who released what is perhaps the greatest album of the year in Hidden History of the Human Race. We talk about their evolution into proggier sounds, their ideas about history and its relation to human consciousness and we open our hearts to Mizar, King of the Stars.

Death Stranding Is Not a Book
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.

Steal As Much As You Can: Nathalie Olah
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. It's primarily about the erosion of working-class culture in the UK after the 2008 financial collapse, but it's about so much more, and comes with four handy tips to improve your life and smash capitalism.
Music by Vastum.

Margaret Atwood: The Testaments (with Annie Kelly)
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.
Music by Alcest and COFFIN ROT.

The Mysterious World of Andy from Caïna
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!
Music by Caïna: https://apocalypticwitchcraft.bandcamp.com/album/gentle-illness
And the prog War of the Worlds soundtrack.
