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.

This was supposed to be a DBS episode, but we stayed on topic the whole time. We kick things off by discussing Lex Fridman's recent book list controversy. After that, we have a long conversation about the importance of rereading books.
We go over the stress caused by the desire to constantly read new books, thus ignoring any possible rereading of work, and how that might not be the best way to enrich your life through reading. There is a solid conclusion reached in this one.

Today we go deep into the muck and grime of modern content creation. We discuss in detail the mediocrity of modern art, movies, literature, and comic books, as well as how we got to this point.
It's not a complete bitch fest, though. We also bring up some outliers that are artistically innovative and unique.
