In Books and Booze episode 81, our interview with Joseph Lapin goes absolutely everywhere. We cover Jewish tradition, Catholic guilt, the difference between whisky and bourbon. We go on to discuss mental health, why you need to talk to your grandparents, and why Joseph is no longer allowed in Joe Clifford's house.
We also have a special musical treat, a cover of Wrecking Ball by the up and coming band Beebs and Her Money Makers, so be sure to listen to the end.

In Episode 73 we get together with Chuck Wendig and try to fit in as much discussion of all the wonderful things he does as possible (Chuck may or may not be The Wizard of Oz). In addition to talking about The Blue Blazes, Miriam Black, and his foray into young adult fiction, we also talk about childhood hallucinations, hypochondria, the analog version of WebMD, and rule breaking.

In Books and Booze episode 72 we invite Wayne Gladstone to talk about his novel Notes From The Internet Apocalypse which leads us into conversations about the deep, dark, corners of the internet, the way civil disobedience has changed over the years, what the world would look like if 4Chan was a place and so much more. We run out of time before we get to the heart of the story, the journey happening under the surface, but we hit on everything else you can imagine -- from the controversial to the just plain funny.
