This begins Volume 8. It can be accessed in the following ways: Sure, but what’s in the thing? Glad you asked! We talked about it in the most reason episode of the Shallow & Pedantic Podcast: Happy reading, y’all.
The most recent Shallow & Pedantic Podcast was a two-parter on The Eye of Argon, famously the Worst Fantasy Story of All Time. We read the story, and we talked about it. In the first part, we laughed long and loudly at the madness of the story, its logorrheac prose combined with its dearth of… Read More Poking the Eye of Argon
There is nothing that I enjoyed so much in my youth and abandoned so thoroughly in my adulthood as Transformers. I still have a box of toys that I collected well into early adolescence. And then, quite suddenly, I just decided that they no longer mattered. I’ve never seen a single Michael Bay Transformers film.… Read More Transform and Roll Out
Here’s a Podcast: We had this recorded last month, and of the 2 hours+ we recorded, this is the stuff that was actually about the ostensible topic, Neil Gaiman. I think we went over the edge on this one. The rest of the merry nonsense is going up on a “Bonus Episode” for Patrons, which… Read More Neil Gaiman Goes Over The Edge, Caligula Goes into Rewrites, and The Journal Still Has No Name: An End of July Update
Recorded the new Shallow & Pedantic podcast last night, and put it up today. What a masterpiece of efficiency! It’s mostly us gibbering about which of Cannon Film’s vast vault is actually worth watching, and several times blaming them for Chuck Norris’ film and TV career. But we had fun. In other news, I’ve uploaded… Read More Let’s Have Another Cup of Podcast, Let’s Have Another Slice of ‘Zine

I’ve done two episodes this way: This one has precisely 1 listen.Here’s the one I did last night: It has no listens. This is because it can only be listened to on Spotify, so… Read More Stupid Podcast Tricks and New Old Magazines
My goal for this site is to be less of a blog (although it will remain that) and more of a publisher. By which I mean, there will be works published here, for people to read. Right now it’s a free-with-donations-accepted model. I’ve got the first volume of Unnamed Journal up in that way, I’ll… Read More New Content, Old Blues
We typically regard the New Year as a let-down after the Holidays, and the Dark Heart of January usually gives us reason. The Solstice is a time of Hope, but a Hope against the winter that is still before us. But we know now that hope is always around the next corner. So let us… Read More Happy Christmas and Merry New Year
I mentioned earlier that I was going to to be redesigning the site. The idea is for it to be a content hub as much as a blog. So if you click the button in the top corner, you will see some new pages, for the podcasts I am involved with: Shallow & Pedantic and… Read More Content Update and New Shallow & Pedantic Podcast
Meant to have this up sooner, but once I sat down to put it together it flowed nicely, and in fact I was able to create some good thoughts on the fly, which is always gratifying. One of the things on my mind a lot of late is the extent to which fandoms and other… Read More Content Blues, the Podcast: Episode 5 – What is Indy Can Never Di
