Description
Every week we discuss the first page--and only the first page--of a different novel, ranging from cult oddities (Tarnsman of Gor) to literary classics (Paradise Lost) to influential thrillers (Jaws). Each episode focuses on that first page and uses it as a jumping off point for an idiosyncratic discussion of media and how we make stories make sense.

Hey, gang! Quick note as we head into the uncharted waters of 2022, new episodes are going to be coming out bi-weekly for a bit, and that schedule may also be a bit spotty on occasion. Hopefully won’t be for too long.
Thanks again for all your support during our first fledgling months of production—we couldn’t do it without you. Good luck, and stay safe out there.
