We talk about this book this week.

This week’s episode of The GAR! Podcast includes discussion of the following: Howard Chaykin and his Divided States of Hysteria, reactions to the comic, Ray’s unintended Bleeding Cool celebrity, underappreciated Jack Kirby, Neal Stephenson, schlepping, Blue Apron’s vinegar obsession, Crossed and the evil that is Frank Sinatra.

The GAR! Podcast is the Glenn Walker and Ray Cornwall weekly podcast where they talk unrehearsed about whatever happens to come to mind. It’s an audio-zine for your mind, a nerd exploration of a nerd world, coming to you from the suburbs of New Jersey and the sunny lakes of Florida via Skype.

Neal Stephenson and the Baroque Cycle- I’m on Book 8!
