New Podcast Featuring a Wyrdsmith

 I have a new podcast all about cyberpunk. We are dropping new episodes every two weeks, and this week's episode is all about Queer cyberpunk--just in time for Pride Month.

Give it a listen, if this seems like your sort of thing?

Co-host Ka1iban and I go deep into the idea that there is something intrinsically queer about body mods, internet anonymity, and other cyberpunk themes.

You can listen to us anywhere fine podcasts are found, but several include:
