It’s been a minute—or a month—hasn’t it, dear subscribers?
Apologies for being out of touch, but as you may remember I’ve been busy cleanin’ out my closet. I’m happy to report that I finally edited that backlog of videos from season 2 of Texting, the podcast I co-host with Tomek, and uploaded them to YouTube.

Other uploads from the past couple of weeks include episodes on Palestinian poetry, the comedy of Larry David, British cinema, the UN Declaration of Human Rights, Michael Jackson, Scarface, Jack Kerouac, and a botanical specimen. Back episodes from season 1 of Texting, please note, will be uploaded in the coming days.

Books Are (Finally) Burning!
And did I mention that I recorded a promo for my new literary podcast? Check it out, book burners!
In the first five episodes of Books Are Burning!, which will be posted here and on YouTube, I am joined by my sometime co-author G.J. Villa for an in-depth discussion of Benjamín Labatut’s When We Cease to Understand the World. Stay tuned for this and other book reviews, author interviews, and more!
Coming in August . . .
Details to follow shortly! Thanks again for your support, dear subscribers!
