In this episode, we talk with writer and stand-up comedian Jeremiah Ukponrefe. We open things up with a quick chat about what current comedians we enjoy.
Afterward, Jeremiah tells us about Hive, his first sci-fi novel in a nine-part series. We also discuss the hardships of promoting work in an oversaturated market and how being a stand-up comedian actually helps with book sales.
Jeremiah also tells us about the comedy landscape in his home country of Canada, the difficulties of touring, and his goal of moving to Europe to further his career in stand-up.
Due to time constraints, Jeremiah had to leave a bit early, so to make up for it, Caleb ends the show with a needlessly gross story that we know you will enjoy.

Caleb opens the episode by updating the world on his most recent woes with Alan Moore's Jerusalem. This time, he does so while drinking a rancid beer.
The main topic of the day is how to submit short stories, flash fiction pieces, and poetry to literary magazines and journals.

In this episode, we touch on all sorts of controversial topics such as religion, abortion, flat Earthers, politics, conspiracy nuts, and many others. The main topic, though, is the censoring and or rewriting of classic books. The main example we discuss is the new revisions of Ian Flemings' James Bond series.

Caleb has lost his will to read thanks to Alan Moore and his impractically large novel, Jerusalem. Spencer, on the other hand, has simply lost the will to live. There is some good news though. Caleb has gotten another story published!

We begin the episode by discussing whether or not we would take a job writing comics for DC or Marvel if it meant we could no longer create our own original content. After that, we welcome a special guest to the show.
Dan Nokes is a comic book artist, writer, novelist, and many other things. We have a long conversation with Dan about his early work, his recent novel, his highs and lows in the comic book industry/convention circuit, his success with Kickstarter, and numerous other topics.
If you want to check out Dan's work, you can head on over to https://www.21sandshark.com/ and while you're at it, be sure to take a look at his current Kickstarter for CHICKEN: Battered & Fried.

There's a lot going on in this episode. We open things with a quick reading from Alan Moore's Jerusalem. This is so you can feel a twinge of Caleb's pain as he works through the book.
We discuss the importance of developing a creative work-life balance but end up ranting on numerous topics such as capitalism, crappy jobs, religion, etc. All of which coincide with your creativity.

In the cold open we have a highbrow discussion about the failings of literary magazines. After that, things go off the rails as we talk about the different yet wonderful words for a man's private parts.
When we do get back on track we have a long conversation about how money ruins art. We use specific examples from movies, television, and books. Even though this is a fun episode, there are still a lot of important things peppered throughout.
