Foreign, Domestic & Forbidden Joaquin Lobo and Tim Trash

For the last time in 2023, Lobo and Trash talk about books and ideas, and about what they enjoyed most this past year. And, of course, they have New Year resolutions!!!

Writer Jane Dykema is back in the studio and together with Lobo and Trash, she unpacks the different kinds of families we have, dreams about Toni Morrison characters, unloved traits we share with our parents, and how we emulate and kill our idols.

Sven Lindqvist -- Exterminate All the Brutes

TAL Water Bottle (and no, it's 64 ounces)

Last episode, Lobo and Trash never got around to talking about the books on their shelves, so that's what they're doing this week. And they discuss the war in Israel and Gaza and why it's so hard to talk about the conflict.

How do we order or select books? How do we read, keep, and move them? When do we sell them off? And episode that is about living with books and writing and storing them (and a lot more).

In this episode, Lobo, Trash, and guest John Wilkins take on the controversy surrounding Oliver Anthony's son "Rich Men North of Richmond," discuss social and political implications, and ponder the question why things go viral.

Dostoevsky -- The Idiot

Steely Dan -- Show Biz Kids

Unforgotten -- TV Series

This week, Lobo and Trash invite Mauricio Montiel Figueiras into the dark shadows and recesses of our world to discuss the occult in fiction, film, popular culture, and politics. Is there an Upside Down? And what will you find there?
