Episode 32: Julie Schumacher and Her Novel in Letters . . . of Recommendation!

What?!  American academia ripe for satire and humor?  Listen in as Julie Schumacher joins John and Marc for a discussion of her novel, Dear Committee Members, offered in letters of recommendation by beleaguered English Professor Jason Fitzger.  How beleaguered, you ask?  He's so beleaguered he makes Marc and John look fastidious!

But before that, John and Marc will discuss the "Alt Lit" scene in much the same intonation as their parents dismissed "Gorbachev" and their grandparents referenced "Rock-N-Roll," and they'll try to figure out Haruki Murakami's writing like a spatially challenged child (Insert:  John and Marc as children) trying to figure out a Rubik's Cube, but hopefully without the tantrums and flying objects.

Then, just try to call us and stump us with a question about books.  Just try it!
