Ask the Listener to Mail in a Bag OR The Questions Episode
That's right, we have decided to open up the terrible portal called "The Internet" and ask our listeners some questions! They cover topics like non-metal music we like, books we wouldn't recommend, shows we would undo or prevent, and all sorts of other negations, recommendations, and inquiries.

Ray Brassier - Nihil Unbound: Enlightenment And Extinction
Ve believe in nothing Lebowski. Gareth has been trying to get Ray Brassier's Nihil Unbound since it came out, and in this episode he enlists Langdon to explain it to him. Will they take the Enlightenment to its ultimate conclusion? Will they understand the world through various oozes and gels? Will there be digressions? Yes.
CW for discussion of suicide.

Spencer Sunshine - Countercultural Fasism and Neo-N*zi Terrorism
Spencer Sunshine joins us to talk about a book that is as cheery as his name suggests: it has Nazis, Industrial Music, Child P*rnography, Charles Manson, Neo-folk, Black Metal, At*mwaffen. It appears that the edgy Feral House guys of the 80s and 90s weren't ironic Nazis - they were Nazi Nazis, and Spencer has the receipts.

A.V Marraccini - We The Parasites
What if the way we interact with art is like a parasite inside of it's host? We talk to A.V Marraccini about her genre-hopping, dare we say Deleuzian work of critical theory/autofiction/memoir/manifesto We The Parasites.

Genevieve Jagger - Fragile Animals
Vampires are having a bit of a moment, and the best book in the current wave is Genevieve Jagger's Fragile Animals, a literary maybe-vampire story set in Scotland. We talk about why vampires are back, Catholicism, trauma and the best vampire films (Near Dark and The Only Lovers Left Alive).

Customer Reviews
My brain is so full now
This podcast is its own unique thing. I finish every episode with a full sheet of notes filled with things I need to go research. I don’t get these kinds of discussions and recommendations in my day to day, so this podcast is always an immense source of catharsis for me.
Thank you for everything.
Also, Langdon is a treasure.
Crappy hosts make crappy podcast
Came to listen to Tamsyn Muir. Listened to two idiot menchildren talk over her. They are the worst of the nerd lunch table, the ones who think and tell you they are cool. That’s an hour I will never get back. Tamsyn was cool, but we really didn’t get to hear her.
Not good
You can really tell this is the product of an MFA program and whooo boy I really don’t mean that in a good way. The American one really seems to think he’s smarter than he is and Christ it’s deeply embarrassing. I recommend reading the other negative comments because I think it’s they do a good job of getting to the core of why this is a bad, frankly embarrassing podcast.
