    Grunts in Space II: The Forever War feat. GldPny

    Gldpny aka Erik joins me for part two of the two-part series on classic military science fiction. This episode is on Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, which is a "novel in response" to Heinlein's Starship Troopers, but also very much its own thing.

    And over on Patreon, we talk about online friendships, the power and downsides of "scenes", more about Erik's celebrity hair styling career, working in the music industry. To listen, go to patreon.com/gettinglit and subscribe!
