In which we get the snake vibe with special guest – our first from overseas, and the recent past – the unparallelable John Langan. In this week’s show, Aaron compares his writing process to a movie about Sarah Palin, Kaaron focuses on the details, while Joseph imagines everyone naked – with disastrous results for his powers of public speaking. John tries his damnedest not to overuse ‘that’ and gets cloned from a mosquito in amber. We learn about finding your voice, the value of play, the importance of rewarding your imagination, and a treasury of meaningful remedies for burnout. We learn about con men and the faked life, John’s metaphor for consciousness, and the profound morality of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Everyone makes a binding pact to never again eat sausages at Kaaron’s.
