Summary

This week's book manages to combine eerily accurate biology with a Margaret Atwood-esque dystopia, a potent mixture that you need to read to believe.

We also dive deep into our mailbag, discuss the recent blizzard, and put some basketball jokes in the place you would LEAST expect.

This week's episode is brought to you in part by Squarespace.
