Episode Seventy-Five: Robin Sloan
In This Episode:
In honor of the show's third birthday, the guys test out the MOBILE Damn Library and set up shop in the FSG offices. Lucky for them, Robin Sloan happened to be there too and so they sat down to talk Sourdough, tech, food, sherry, and the strangeness of Eugene Lim's Dear Cyborgs.
Other Highlights:
* much love for FSG (srsly, make a subscription service for the Originals!)
* indie bookstore shout-out: Dog-Eared Books
* is it possible to have a comprehensive depiction of a thing? if so, Christopher's writing one for Canada.
* Thanks for three great years, y'all - here's to many more!
* Join the Exquisite Corpse in our iTunes reviews! It's easy: rate us 5 stars and then add your segment!
