Every episode, Unprintable will take an irreverent look at books, the publishing industry, reading, writing, and more; featuring the know-it-all geekery of LitReactor Review Editor Cath Murphy, Education Director Rob W. Hart, Managing Editor Joshua Chaplinsky, Class Facilitator Renee Asher Pickup, and Columnist Brandon Tietz.
Episode 21 - The Triumphant Return
What can we say? We have heard (all three of) your cries, and over a year and a half later, the LitReactor podcast is back to once again infiltrate your aural orifices with our special brand of whatever it is we do. Act now! Listen in and you will find out exactly where the hell we've been, what the hell we've been doing, and why the hell we left in the first place.
But wait, there's more!
We've added two new members to the Unprintable crew: Class Facilitator Renee Asher Pickup and Columnist Brandon Tietz. Both come power-packed with bookish knowledge for you to absorb. This expanded roster should serve to keep the podcast ball rolling. You will be getting some combination of the five of us every episode.
News: Cath, Rob, and Josh discuss just where the hell they've been and where the hell the podcast is going. Hm... sounds familiar.
Reads: Population Wars by Punk Professor Greg Graffin, the thematically similar No Mercy: True Stories of Disaster, Survival and Brutality, possession yarn A Head Full of Ghosts — the book that will make your limbs all Tremblay (That's right, I went there), and more!
Topic: Our favorite—US! But we do get sidetracked by pesky, socially conscious conversations about the future of the human race.

Awesome, I missed this podcast. That's why I visited litreactor to begin with.
Its back! I cherish this news.
Glad to have you back! You were seriously just what I needed as I crapped and sweated my way through a hellish flu.
That was the funniest podcast I've heard in a long time! I played 50 minutes of retro Sega games to it with the mute on the TV and I honestly can't remember which game I was playing. Seriously.
Thanks, everyone! Good to be back.
My friends are talking about a lot about the episodes of this season. I am doing the job of ukessaysreviews essay writing services reviews and if I found some time I will surely see this season.
