  • Bleeding Edge: Wrap-up with @Byron's Glowing Filament
    Aug 23 2024

    We've finished another Pynchon book and convene once more to talk about Bleeding Edge; this time in its entirety. We're joined by Andrew, better known as Byron's Glowing Filament on Twitter and the creator of the Gravity's Rainbow Analysis substack (link below).

    We’re taking a (well-earned) break and will be back some time in November to start Against the Day.

    In the meantime, we’re going to be releasing some bonus episodes until our return, so stay tuned for those.
