“We have a glitch in the system!”

Sat in for part of my wife’s podcast Bite Club, to review “The Wolfman” starring Benicio Del Torro. Beware, there is also talk of Twilight, True Blood , and Vampire Diaries. If you’re cool with that, I think you’ll like this show a lot.

As a wrap-up of “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom” we finally snag an interview with the author of the Sword and Laser book club selection.  Cory Doctorow is always a fun person to chat with, and this episode is no exception.  We do query him on some of the thoughts behind Down and Out, but also about writing and the publishing industry in general. We also let him pick our next book!
