    DBC Episode 40: The Last One (I'm graduating!)

    The final episode of Delta Book Club. I'm going to miss doing this show so much, thank you to everyone who has contributed book and music suggestions, and thank you to everyone who has been a guest on this show. In this episode, I discuss "The Lonely Hearts Book Club" by Lucy Gilmore, some good books to read after graduation, and the short story collection "People From My Neighborhood" (and some better things to read). We got some nice goodbye songs in this one, "I'll Be Seeing You" and "For Good".

    DBC Episode 39 Fun With Chat GPT

    The silliest Delta Book Club episode! I ask Chat GPT to make book recommendations, write scathing reviews of my least favorite books, and attempt to write one of my episodes for me (it didn't do a very good job). This episode features music I performed that had lyrics& chord progressions generated by Chat GPT. This was my favorite part of this episode, these songs are super weird but were so fun to bring to life.

    DBC Episode 38 Written In Bone, Mexican Gothic, and Internet Archive with Michael Gonzalez

    Michael is back, we discuss I book I cringed my way through (Written In Bone) and a book he really liked that I haven't read yet (Mexican Gothic). We also discuss the internet archive lawsuits and ethical ways to get books free of charge. No music breaks in this one due to time constraints, but I do get thoroughly roasted by Michael.

    DBC Episode 35: All About Pirates

    A deep dive into the history of pirates, featuring Under the Black Flag by David Cordingly, news articles about pirates, and Ninjago: Ninja vs. Pirate (why?). I play some piratey music on ukulele

    DBC Episode 34: Infamous, Judging a Book by its Cover, Poster Girl

    In this Valentine's Day episode, I discuss a fun romance novel: Infamous by Minerva Spencer. I take a guess at what the plot of some romance novels are without reading the summary, and I discuss Veronica Roth's book Poster Girl.

    DBC Episode 33: Severance, The Engaging Fiction Table, 1984

    This episode is all about weird, memorable, important books. I've got Severance by Ling Ma, I explain how books make it to the Engaging Fiction Table at Barnes and Noble, and ask the question: is 1984 actually a good work of fiction? I play some bossa nova guitar music in this one.
