In the nuclear fallout of recent cinematic Chernobyls, we turn for guidance to the cool imperial mind of master noticer-storyteller Somerset Maugham, who gave us a timeless satire of literary culture and clout-chasing in his novel Cakes and Ale (1930) and reached some uncomfortable conclusions about the meaning of art in his intellectual memoir The Summing Up (1936).   For the full 4 hour bull session, subscribe to the show at patreon.com/filthyarmenian   Guest starring Matthew Sini and Matt Fresca from the Getting Lit podcast   Follow us on X/insta @filthyarmenian

Eureka! Literary treasure has been found. It is called My Search for Warren Harding, and it's about one man's zany scheming quest for literary treasure (the love letters of "the shallowest president in history") in early 1980s Hollywood. It is the funniest thing I have read in a long time, and perhaps the most enjoyable novel ever written about L.A. Robert Plunket joins me to reflect on how he came to compose this closet masterpiece (1983), his even queerer follow-up Love Junkie (1992), his 30 year career as Mr. Chatterbox (Sarasota's beloved gossip columnist), how he almost swung the 2000 election, his proximity to Bush on 9/11 and Ruebens during PeeWee's 9/11, and what it was like to be raised by spies.   For twice the adventures plus regular "smoke break" mini eps on topics of the day, please subscribe to the show at patreon.com/filthyarmenian   Follow us on X/insta @filthyarmenian
