Get your bookmarks out: It's time to talk about Our Hideous Progeny by C.E. McGill!
From the author's website:
"It’s weird, it’s queer, and it’s here in bookshops near you! OUR HIDEOUS PROGENY is my debut novel, a spiritual sequel to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a love letter to women in science and the fascinating history of Victorian paleoart.
Are you a fan of Victorian mad science? Gothic gays? Women who are angry, and ambitious, and covered in blood? Then OHP may be for you!"
We get into the book's themes of women's overlooked contributions of science, parental abandonment, queer pining, my amazing ability to say Benjamin Franklin when I mean Thomas Edison, and more! (Content and trigger warnings below)
Don't forget to check out Nightmare Maven's excellent video review on Our Hideous Progeny, "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Is A Masterpiece"!
This week's special segment is Songs I'm Obsessed With, featuring Keath Osk's Kid and Leveret from their Yaelokre project!
OHP Content/Trigger Warnings: Homophobia, racism, miscarriage, misogyny, ableism, classism

It feels like almost every new show is a reboot and, you know what? We're tired of it. Join us this week as we indulge in a rant about the nonstop deluge of regurgitated nostalgia, why it's even a thing, and why it sucks.
This week's special segment is On My "To Be Read" Pile, featuring C.E. McGill's Our Hideous Progeny! Come find out why your host is psyched to stop procrastinating and finally read it.

Remember sitting in front of your stereo, ready to pounce on the "record" button the moment your song came on? Remember the feeling when you gave your crush a cassette with your favorite songs (which maybe you did or didn't call Dean's Top 13 Zepp Traxx)? No? Well even if you didn't live through the joy of creating the perfect mixtape and the anguish of having to re-reel it with a pencil (IYKYK), we think you'll enjoy this episode on the beauty of making a playlist, no matter how you do it.
Speaking of music, this week's special segment is "Playing With Lists" so, here, enjoy a playlist made just for you (the plural "you", just to be super clear)!

We're in our podcast era, and we're kicking it off with our first episode, "Why Are Cats?" Find out why we find cats so fascinating, why cats tolerate us, and whether they even give a purr.
This week's special segment is the Chisme Chorner, in which we read an AITAH post, give our verdict, and decide whether the story is real or really made up.
