Buntzcast 23. The Magic Mountain (Feat. Boschian Belle)

Switching things up. Normally, the Buntzcast is a Marc Maron/Terry Gross style podcast, in which the guest distills his or her essence for the audience. We’re doing it a little different this time: this is the first installment of the Buntzcast Book Club. Boschian Belle (https://x.com/boschianbelle) pops into The Buntzcast to discuss Thomas Mann’s epochal novel of ideas, The Magic Mountain, in which the protagonist, Hans Castorp, experiences “the intoxication of ideas and the lure of eros.” You don’t want to miss this one. (If you plan on reading the novel, I’d recommend only listening to the first half though because we do give a lot away.) The next installment of the Buntzcast Book Club will be on Yukio Mishima’s The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Read it with us.

BUNTZCAST 20: Noah Kumin

Noah Kumin, editor of The Mars Review of Books and author of the new novel Stop All the Clocks, pops into the Buntzcast. We take a deep dive into the world of literature and publishing. We talk about New York, Chicago, the "Old Man of the Mountains," J.D. Salinger, Dimes Square, Noah's book, and much more. Want to learn how to become a successful author of mass produced Romantasy? Or perhaps your aspirations are more "literary." In either case, we've got you covered.

I don't know if you're prepared for this episode. Not sure how deep you want to go... In part two of my discussion with RFH, we cover the mysteries of Saturn's hexagon, RFH's Ayn Rand phase, the true purpose of Aztec human sacrifices, the secrets of the Jesuits, the false messiah Sabbatai Zvi, the weirdest dream RFH ever had, and much more.

BUNTZCAST 17: RFH - Part I

The internet's most famous anonymous radical feminist, RFH, drops by the Buntzcast for a wide-ranging tour of religion, spirituality, esoteric secrets, and conspiracy theories. Our conversation takes many whimsical and unexpected turns, diving into topics such as Mormonism, reincarnation, why Chicago is secretly a spiritual Mecca, hollow earth theories, flat earthers, and the horrifying truth about what is happening under the Antarctic ice... This is part one of a two part conversation.

It's like if My Dinner With Andre were a podcast.
