Thx @rohmersimpson.bsky.social (and Ian Scuffling) for the podcast intro a while back 😜
correction! Ian Scuffling is a GR-sourced nom de guerre for the fellas. actual co-host is Asher Dark
so in 2023 and 2024 @johnsemley3000.bsky.social and Ian Scuffling made a GRAVITY'S RAINBOW podcast called Slow Learners and it's freakin great! I've only listened to the 2nd episode + the tee-up intro episode but I know that to be true. I'm in it for the full ride. I'm getting in the rocket

Looks like the new season will be devoted to Pynchon's Vineland, a fav of mine and a massively underrated novel, if only because of the long V-2-shaped shadow cast by GR.

Brings to mind Salman Rushdie's NYT review: "the balance between light and dark is expertly held throughout this novel..."
Still Crazy After All These Years (Published 1990)
