Chat is it good to do read publicly running on caffeine and dreams? 🫠

Together, Benjamin and Sophia catch up on the time they've missed, discuss queerness in literature, and their unique solutions to age-old writing problems.

Guess who'll be reading her work at the Speculative Literature Foundation's event at Berwyn Shops this weekend? 👍🏾👍🏾

We're back!

This episode is a throwback -- our February discussion of then-current politics. A lot of what we have to say is still relevant! As for the rest, you can listen to find out what we called correctly and what we were wrong about. :-D

Though Season 3 of Mohanraj and Rosenbaum are Humans had slowed for a while, we're back up and running! This episode was originally recorded in February and a lot has changed since then.

We'll start out with Yorli Huff at 3pm, then go on a nice walk to visit The Pile Bookstore and Kinslahger until finally returning to the Berwyn Shops for a Deep Dish reading event at 6pm. We'll close the evening with an open mic, so bring a piece you want to read or simply come and listen!

Since 2013, the Working Class Writers Grant has been awarded to spec fiction writers who are working class, blue-collar, financially disadvantaged, or homeless, who have been historically underrepresented in speculative fiction due to financial barriers that make it hard to access the writing world.

In this episode, Mary Anne and Benjamin discuss the (at the time) recent Trump inauguration. They are joined later on by Podcast Producer Connor Nevitt and the three try to answer what the left can do in times like these.
