About this episode

In this episode, B. Black discusses Christianity, personal reflections on literature, and the challenges of promoting a podcast.

In this episode, I clarify a point I made about Christianity in the previous episode. I talk about how much I’m enjoying season 2 of Paradise, being feenin’ for more books like the Red Rising series, and re-reading Revolutionary Suicide, which has me thinking about how people get radicalized. I also get into the reality of promoting a podcast and why I struggle with it. And finally, I reflect on whether or not I love my podcast.
