HP Lovecraft Presents: Barbara Bush's Beach House Barbiturate Boogaloo!
After a heartfelt tribute to the late Barbara Bush and an impassioned plea to not repeat her mistake of eating dozens of xannies while listening to Dream Pop, we talk about two books that have tackled HP Lovecraft's legacy of being a weird racist: Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country and Paul La Farge's The Night Ocean. Along the way we talk about race, literary form, the politics of extreme music and how Morrisey is a whack-ass jabroni.

Ep.12 Zebra Don't Read This, Punpun Hello
It has always been my dream to record extremely likable #content, and in this episode, I think I've finally done it. I talk about Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi's Call Me Zebra and Inio Asano's Goodnight Punpun, but also relatable topics like sweaty Manga dudes, the Death Stranding trailer, when bae be acting crazy, work, finding porn, poop gods, Don Quixote and how little my opinions matter. There's something for everyone!
