    Utter Goodness w/ Audrey Lee

    Utter Goodness is an upcoming short story collection written by Audrey Lee and published by Farthest Heaven. Its thirteen stories are lovely character studies, various faces of that peculiarly American form of cultural maximalism, and each rendered in very lithe prose. There's a kinda extemporising quality to the writing here, if one could extemporise in full paragraphs with foreshadowing and multiple layers of meaning, etc, etc, ect. It's good! We spent a lot of time talking about how Audrey comes up with these characters, and how her return to faith influenced the writing of Utter Goodness, both consciously and unconsciously. This will be the last episode this year. We'll start releasing things again early 2026.

    Crowbar w/ Andrew Edwards

    Andrew Edwards is the author of the novels King of Dogs (2019) and Crowbar (2025), both of which are well worth reading. King of Dogs is a tense action novel, while Crowbar feels like reading Programmed to Kill and watching thirty conspiracy thrillers at the same time during a speed comedown. It's a lot. For this episode, I softballed Andy with simple questions like 'What is the supernatural?' and 'What is your conception of the soul?' He's a real trooper and actually answered these, as well as a whole lot more.

    £, flesh and Femoid w/ Aaron Barry

    £, flesh and Femoid are a novella and novel, respectively, written by Aaron Barry and published by McBussy Publishing. Both star poorly-adjusted female leads suffering terminal brainrot, and both are written in a dense, internet-inflected style. In line with both books' preoccupations, this episode we talked about how to write the internet (and what that might even mean), the childish defences of irony and performative nihilism, nuisance streamers, /r9k/, Cioran, Camus, how Aaron is being sued, and a lot more.

    Officeparks w/ Noam Hessler

    Officeparks is a wonderful poetry collection from Noam Hessler, and yet another winner published by Farthest Heaven. Romantic, funny, and shot through with an easy, natural experimentation, Officeparks is a real treat. I'm trying hard not to be too effusive in my praise, in case people think I'm being disingenuous, but these poems really are that good. Anyway, Noam and I got to talk about their approaches to poetry, how they manage to make experimentation feel so effortless, how one might write poems as songs versus films, the Russian language, and a whole lot more.  Find Officeparks here: https://farthestheaven.com/products/officeparksNoam on X: @poetryaccnt1518Noam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hesslerart_official/ Farthest Heaven: https://farthestheaven.comFarthest Heaven on X:@FarthestHeavenFarthest Heaven Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FarthestHeaven Noam's RecommendationsWallace Barker - https://wallacebarker.com/ David C Porter - https://davidcporter.net/ Hayden Church - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLR73Z3J Dustin Cole - https://farthestheaven.com/products/after-sunstone Tom Will - https://many.bio/thomaswill Ben Lerner - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Lerner Audrey Lee - https://audreymorganlee.com/ VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION Jack has published a novel called Tower!
