We discuss some changes coming to DPW, as well as our writers' lounge and where our current writing output is. There's also plenty of other nonsense thrown in, including a quick conversation on why we think people don't like to read anymore.

We're changing things up and talking about bad books today! More specifically, we discuss when and why you might give up on a book before finishing. How far do you read a bad book before dumping it? What pushed you over the edge and made you trash it? We also talk about how writers can get and keep readers interested in their books so they don't find their novels tossed into filthy garbage cans.
But before all that noise, Caleb regales us with a recap of his weekend trip to the Virginia mountains and the beach.

We spend some time discussing the dos and don't of writing burbs. We also read a few examples of good book blurbs and then we do an awful job of coming up with blurbs for some of our stories.

Hey! This is our first episode from the new DPW Podcast studio. Or at least, the under-construction studio. We still have a bit to do.
In this episode, we talk about current events with DPW, future projects, and our plans with DPW going forward. It's a pretty chill vibe on this one.

In this episode, we discuss the wild novel "The Hike" by Drew Magary. There's so much to unpack in this one. So we highly recommend reading the book before listening to this episode. Also, we SPOIL the ENTIRE novel as we break down the whole thing.

J.K. Rowling has been acting like a giant butthole and we talk about it. But that's not all we talk about. In fact, we have a long discussion about some bad writing habits you should kick and how to better improve your life as a writer. There's a lot of real-world advice in this episode that can be applied to your life outside of the arts as well.

Warning: This episode is 1000000% NSFW due to strong language and graphic old time sex descriptions. Listen to with headphones on and not in public or you may get some very dirty looks!
In this episode, we start off discussing what the new National Anthem of the United States should be. Here's a hint, we come up with the best possible choice! Then we dive hard into some nasty stuff from our temporary space station podcast studio. We read all of James Joyce's dirty, filthy, gross love letters to his at the time girlfriend and future wife. This one is a real kick in the pants!
You can read the letters for yourself over at https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/02/02/james-joyces-love-letters-dirty-little-fuckbird/

Things get weird in this episode. Real weird. First, we discuss what it would be like if instead of becoming a werewolf, you became a Flairwolf. Yes, transforming like a werewolf but instead of a monster, you turn into Ric Flair.
We do a lot of rambling and talk about various topics. The main topic at hand is weird fiction that you should read. We also discuss Stephen King a bit and if we think he's a better short story writer or novelist. We end things by recommending some weird fiction that we've read over the years.
