Caleb starts the podcast off with some good news! Then everything goes terribly downhill from there. We were supposed to cover the ten scariest short horror stories, but Caleb seems to have forgotten how to read and botches the entire thing.
Not all is lost though. There are plenty of laughs and near rage quits throughout the show. Plus, a critical breakdown of the article we read.

"I'd rather read a book that I'm offended by than read one that I'm bored by."
We start the episode off by discussing our recent trip to Ann Arbor where we attended this year's Astronomicon. After that, we discuss red flag fiction, what that means, and what it means for content creators like writers.
At some point, we also dive into a conversation about the public school system, where we think it fails in regards to discussing racial issues, and why we think it's important NOT to ban classic fiction that has gross depictions of racism.

We get a little weird during the opening as we're joined by Ashleigh Hatter, but then we get into a very interesting conversation about the work of Stephen King. We discuss a bit about the differences between his past work and current work, as well as his editing choices (or lack thereof) as of late.
Then we answer the big question: should Stephen King retire? Also, be sure to check out a bonus track after the outro music.
