Radio Free Lemuria: Episode 7 - Gravity's Rainbow 1.5 - Once We Were Puppets
Is it better to believe you are a puppet, or to realize you are a cog?
This one is free! I’m going to start doing every other episode free/paid and eventually switch back over into (mostly) just paid ones, but I want to give people who don’t pay me a chance to listen to a few of these before deciding to subscribe.

Hi all! This is the first time I have separated anything out of the typical Pynchon essays. This project is going to be a podcast rather than mere addendums. I will largely be talking about Pynchon and especially Gravity’s Rainbow at first, but I will also eventually talk about more.
I have a lot to say and little time in my life to say it. Please feel f…

Radio Free Lemuria: Episode 2 - Gravity's Rainbow 1.1 - Apocalypse Now
(Like last episode, this was before the Radio Free Lemuria idea came to light. Below is the original description).
Continuing my new more in depth musings on the early chapters of Gravity’s Rainbow. Talking more in depth here about Pirate’s dream of the end of the world and his place in the grand plot that is to emerge.
Sending this one out as a free audio post and will eventually change it. But I wanted all subscribers to know that this is something I’m doing now. Basically, if you didn’t see the last one, I started these because I find some of my early analyses of Gravity’s Rainbow to be mildly lackluster and just not as in depth as my later writing. So, I’m going for a more free form podcast style thing where I don’t have to dedicate so much time to writing and editing and can just ramble for a while. These will definitely have more depth but maybe less refinement since they’re unedited. It will be a feature for paid subs going forward. All regular postings will of course remain free.
