Now that we’ve completed our epic reread, we take some time to debrief on the books, the reread, and our whole philosophies of rereading and revisiting media. We even throw in a few reading recommendations for good measure.

The hosts spend most of their time complaining about gender or religious issues through a 2020 lens, criticising May for her personal beliefs.

As a fan of Julian May’s works, I’m enjoying this podcast series. 👌😊
