It’s time for the inaugural episode of Fear of a Square Planet, our patron-only monthly podcast where I ask the all-important question of this month’s Virtual Memories podcast-guests, “So, who you reading?”
This week’s episode features Keith Knight, Molly Crabapple, Harold Bloom and Carol Tyler, as well as past guest Dmitry Samarov. Give it a listen!
