Fetch error

Hmmm there seems to be a problem fetching this series right now. Last successful fetch was on December 03, 2025 18:35 (22d ago)

What now? This series will be checked again in the next day. If you believe it should be working, please verify the publisher's feed link below is valid and includes actual episode links. You can contact support to request the feed be immediately fetched.

In this episode we discuss four short stories from Kurt Vonnegut's collection, Welcome to the Monkey House. Just to keep it confusing the titular story is not one we discuss. We get into the weeds of Harrison Bergeron, Who and I This Time, Ready to Unwear, and EPICAC. If you are worried about spoilers for sixty year old short stories, probably don't listen, if you are curious and maybe not familiar with Vonnegut (as two of the three of us were) we certainly have some thoughts!
Rae is a wonderful visual artist and you should totally check out their stuff on instagram @rae.mack.art
Our theme music is by James Allen. Find more of their work at jamesallencomposer.com
