It’s (way past) time for a new 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 Dan Cafaro, Glenn Head, Burton Pike, Bob Stein, Ashton Applewhite, Dan Perkins (aka Tom Tomorrow) and Charles Bivona.
