Sometimes the urge to write is so strong, you can't wait for a publisher to show the world the masterpiece in your mind.

Thankfully, in the digital age, it's easy to self-publish.

But who exactly is going to read a book titled, This Ho Got Roaches Up in Her Crib.

In the new podcast, The Hood Novel Book Club, comedian Rachel Hall looks at wonderfully weird

books about the modern black experience that were written by self-published authors with

hilarious results. Today, Rachel Hall joins us to take a look at trashy books, morality tales, and science fiction from the perspective of great and knots of great black authors.

Plus, HBO Max's Lovecraft Country has us jumping out of our skin.

Captain America, Chris Evans, who has the world's attention with his accidentally leaked dick pick,

wants you to do one thing. Vote. And Madonna's going to co-write, direct, and probably star in

her own biopic. I wonder what kind of Oscar she'll win. I'm Faustafurnos. I'm Mark Filian.

And this is Feast of Fun. Hello. Hi, is this Rachel Hall.

Isn't she? The one and only. Ah, the queen of the hood books. Gak-a-cac-cac-cac-c-cow! Me.

You have a fabulous new podcast, the Hood No club yes hood novel book club that is me a raw

raw production i just came up with that what makes it a hood novel it is books that are typically

by black authors and they're like the books that you would find i don't know if you'd ever used to find these but like when you go to wal. And they're like the books that you would find.

I don't know if you ever used to find these,

but like when you go to Walmart,

when they used to have a book section,

they would be like the books that you would find at Walmart.

And they would have like the weird,

almost like B movie looking covers that.

So like the pulp fiction kind of stuff.
