    Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

    Exactly as the stars predicted, Joyce and Nic return to chat about the Polish novel that shared the 2019 Nobel prize. Joyce entertains a new job offer and reads some Barth. Nic the Greek goes 2/2 on UFC predictions, calling the previous main event perfectly. To our supporters who pulled out their credit cards and ponied up to help the show we say thank you! We hope you'll hear this episode and think your money was well spent.

  4. Ficciones by Jorges Luis Borges (Pt. 2)

    Ficciones by Jorges Luis Borges (Pt. 2)

    In a classic episode recorded just one month ago, we finish our series on Borges. DC writes a new one and Houellebecq threatens to do the same. Nic fails to apply to graduate school. Joyce travels to Spain. Lowtax travels to heaven. Listen closely as a more hilarious, moving, and erudite podcast you'll hardly find. Here's that link I said I'd give you guys: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3718266&pagenumber=1.

  6. Me Too (Ya Tozhe Khochu) dir. Alexei Balabanov (2012)

    07/02/2021

    Me Too (Ya Tozhe Khochu) dir. Alexei Balabanov (2012)

    We discuss Alexei Balabanov's last film, Me Too, in which some Russian guys drink and drive on their quest for happiness. Nic outdoes himself for malapropisms. Joyce's company institutes an irritating new policy. This episode was recorded in late March, and Nic just now got around to editing it, but there's more P.U.L.C.H. awaiting you in the near future, so take care of yourself that you might live to hear it.

    Staying Creative While Working a Job

    We didn't read nothin' for this episode. Instead, we chat about strategies to stay creative and engaged with art while working a full-time job that pays your way and corrodes your soul. Other topics include on-the-spectrum legend Glenn Gould, lending books to irresponsible people, and Nic's brush with Drag Race fame.

    The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker (with Robin Parrish)

    Cartoonist and consultant Robin Parrish drops by to chat with the P.U.L.C.H. pals about Nicholson Baker's brief stream-of-consciousness novel The Mezzanine, but they derail the conversation to discuss working from home, David Cronenberg, and David Foster Wallace's linguistic/mathematical deficiencies.
