Episode 015: The Wood at Midwinter by Susanna Clarke

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast. Today, we’re premiering a new aspect to the show with my good friend Kyle Muntz. He’s the author of The Pain Eater and we cowrote The Shattered Stars and Sing, Behemoth, Sing. He also heads the Creative Writing program at NYU Shanghai. Today we are talking about Susanna Clarke’s new short story The Wood at Midwinter. We discuss children’s literature, 19th century literature, narrative techniques, point of view, Clarke’s oeuvre, Catholic saints, marketing, publishing as an industry, and so on. Come join us as we take a close read of a very unusual short story. Music by Bart Larsen. Everything else done by me, I guess. Get full access to Wolf at radicaledward.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 014: The Difference Engine

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast. Today Paul Graham Raven is on the show to discuss William Gibson and Bruce Sterling’s collaboration on 1990s The Difference Engine. Paul is a writer, academic, and worldbuilder. You can find more of his writing at his website, newsletter, and Read his interview with Bruce Sterling right here. Turning the clocks back to the early 90s, right before Gibson jumped into The Bridge Trilogy and right after he finished The Sprawl Trilogy, we have The Difference Engine. This is a very different novel in many ways and one I’m glad to have picked up now, after reading through the rest of Gibson’s career. Music by Bart Larsen. Everything else done by me, I guess.

Episode 013: Agency

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast. Today Kelby Losack and J David Osborne are back! This episode is a collaboration with their Agitator podcast. It’s also condensed down just to the conversation about Agency. If you want to hear the full almost two hour conversation, which gets into AI, Mike Tyson v Jake Paul, and the Trump election, head on over to patreon.com/agitator. Today, we’re onto Agency, book two in William Gibson’s Jackpot Trilogy. This is a book we actively hated. Come hear why. Music by Bart Larsen. Everything else done by me, I guess.

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast. Today I’m talking with Jay Springett, writer, thinker, worldrunner, and podcaster. You can find him at his website, his Permanently Moved podcast, or on substack at Experience.Computer. Check out his recent appearance on the Ecogradia podcast! It’s great.
