Pod backkkkkk. Joined this time with da goat Tom Ianelli (aka peterbooksnyc). We talk about a bunch of shit: the ups and downs of book selling, running a popping ass literary Instagram series, street fights on Bedford Ave, the one time he got faded with James Patterson, publishing and locating a writing style that feels genuine, and, of course, his new press that he just launched which is also called peterbooks.And if you like listening to Tom's voice boy do we have a special treat for you...

Pod is BACK and we got a special one for you. Earlier this summer, Jake sat down with Devin Thomas O'Shea and Owen Edwards of Bruiser Mag at Red Emma's in Baltimore for a panel discussing Devin's new book: The Veiled Prophet. The book covers a history of St. Louis and the secret society that had a chokehold on that city for well over a century. Sit down, hold tight, see what (or who) is behind the mask, and stick this in your ears! 

Pod back. Join this time with poet, musician, performer, lover, and most importantly guy from Boston Lucas Restivo. We talk about a lot of important stuff: drunk driving, townie mysticism, Lamelo Ball, using AI to write a novel to get laid, his band/corporation Intac, Ozempic literature, and much much more. You're gonna want to listen to this right freaking now kihd.

That's rightt pod backkkk. Joined with MVP guest PJ Lombardo to talk about his recently published book The Blue Cherub. We get into all the important points about the book so if you really want to get it and not be a complete idiot you sorta gotta listen. Sorry dog.

Pod is BACK. No Jake on this one. Spencer, Jenkin, and Matt incited a coup. They riff about horny zoo animals for like a half-hour, but then get serious about the controversies surrounding AI in literature, particularly Mia Ballard's slop horror novel, Shy Girl. Spoiler: it sucks no matter what. Fight AI, feed your soul, and stick this bad boy in your ears.Update: Jake shall return.
