Unprintable: The LitReactor Podcast Episode 6 - Spoilers!
Every month, Unprintable will take an irreverent look at books, the publishing industry, reading, writing, and more; featuring the know-it-all geekery of LitReactor columnist Cath Murphy, Education Director Rob W. Hart, and Managing Editor Joshua Chaplinsky.
Episode 6 - Spoilers!
We've bounced back and are once again in top form for your podcast-listening pleasure. First: the appetizers. We talk about your new favorite tumblr, Lousy Book Covers; the first bookless library that isn't your home computer; and Scientology's panty knot over Lawrence Wright's Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief...
...which just so happens to be what Rob is reading this week. That and like 5 other books, all of which he goes into excruciating detail about. Who does he think he is? Josh from last episode? Josh and Cath, on the other hand, are reading a paltry book apiece; Behind the Beautiful Forevers and Fight Song, respectively. The former is about life in the slums of Mumbai and the latter is a kick-ass satire from LitReactor instructor and friend of the site, Joshua Mohr.
Also, somewhere in there we manage to get sidetracked by a long conversation about clone sex.
SPOILER ALERT! This episode's topic is Spoilers!, the bane of the under-read and -watched. Rob thinks you're all babies and Josh tells everyone who killed Laura Palmer. Oh yeah, and Cath is pregnant.

Also, wouldn't the clone be new born? Sickos.
Obviously you wait until the clone is legal. They do have an accelerated growth rate, you know.
