    Episode 301 Overachievers and Underachievers

From Gradin’s grotesquely layered visual chaos and insomnia-fueled narratives, to Tottenham’s hilariously bitter verses on failure, resentment, and reluctant ambition, this conversation explores the fine line between doing too much and doing just enough. Both Justin and John have new books out in 2025. Checkout Justins new book on . John's book is out on Penguin Books.

    Episode 298 Writer and Historian Pat Thomas
    2025/04/04
    Pat Thomas is a historian and editor whose latest work, Dispatches From The Literary Underground: Evergreen Review, compiles and reprints the first 100 issues of Evergreen Review (1957–1973) in full color.
