Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Atrocities feat. Felix McNamara
Q: Is this project consciously an epic poem, and how does it relate to traditional epic forms?
Felix confirms that labeling the work as an epic is intentional but open-ended; he cites historical epics and modern analogues (Hart Crane, The Wasteland), while arguing that the present demand for a reterritorialized epic acknowledges both past forms and a new, post-postmodern context. The work blends myth, history, and contemporary figures to reconstitute epic on a 21st-century scale.
Atrocities feat. Felix McNamara
Q: How did you come to write poetry, and did your background in design influence that shift?
Felix describes a gradual move from music and design to experimental prose and poetry, driven by a desire for a more direct, rhythmic, and sculptural form of expression. He emphasizes an OCD-like focus on syllables and musicality, and notes that poetry offered a different kind of challenge and potential audience than purely prose or academic work.
Wake In Fright feat. Jack from Book Club from Hell
Q: How does the film differ from the book in terms of tone and pacing?
The film leans more into an amplified surreal mood, using visual cues and performances to convey threat, whereas the book relies more on Grant's internal thoughts to build tension.
Vivienne feat. Emmalea Russo
Q: Why did you move from poetry into a novel—what needed a narrative arc that poetry couldn't provide?
Emmalee discusses the necessity of a narrative engine and group dynamics (three generations) to explore the book's themes, while still retaining a poetic sensibility in cadence and imagery.
Vivienne feat. Emmalea Russo
Q: How did cancellation culture shape the conception of Vivienne and the novel's misdirections?
The host asks about cancellation, and Emmalee explains that the public campaign serves as a backdrop that reveals character and thematic concerns rather than driving a simple plot; the story uses cancellation to explore mysticism, responsibility, and the tension between public discourse and private life.
