…doesn’t that sound like a Goth band name? Well it’s the title of the latest ep of The Outrider Podcast, is what it is. Have a listen to me and Friend JQM natter on about the publishing world, and whether anyone reads books anymore. (Spoiler alert: they definitely do.)
Here’s the latest in the freebies on my Substack, in condensed link form. Don’t forget—I also do paid-only Fight Clip Club posts on Wednesdays and I have been continuing my taking off of paywalls on my Problematic Tropes series as well, on Thursdays. It’s a much richer experience of Zuko’s Musings on Substack, but, hey. You do you.

It’s that time again, ‘bots and lurkers: time for a rundown of all the free reads I’ve been Musing about over on my Substack, Zuko’s Musings. Remember that there’s also paywalled Fight Clip Club entries and re-shared Problematic Tropes articles as well.

Pub crawls weren’t the only fun things we did when I went to visit JQM in Wichita. We also did a live recording of our podcast!

No idea why that song likes to stick in my head—I literally don’t know more than a couple lines of it even. Anywho.
It’s that time again! Time to give y’all who are still using this ancient and venerable platform to follow me, a summary of the free posts that I’ve put up on my Substack, Zuko’s Musings. Remember, that there is a free subscription as well as a paid one, and the paid peeps of mine get three posts a week instead of just two. So. Here ya go.
And, as a bonus: I’m starting to take down the paywalls on each of my Problematic Tropes series of cultural criticism pieces, one by one, for a Thankful Thursday practice. This past Thursday, I opened up #1:
