From Tarkovsky to\u00a0Jessica Jones<\/em>, this week’s episode covers a lot of ground. Anthony and Chad are joined by Hailey Dezort to walk through the first three chapters of Antoine Volodine’s\u00a0Radiant Terminus<\/em>. There’s a lot to unpack, from the plant names, to the nature of men, to horrible fathers, to the humor found in Gramma Ugdul talking to the core of a failed nuclear reactor. Given how plotted this novel is, you can definitely follow along, even if you haven’t\u00a0read the section yet.<\/p>\n

Also, we get to find out who Hailey thinks Khrili Gompo is, and we officially changed this season’s contest: Whoever sends in the best drawing of one of the imaginary plants found in\u00a0Radiant Terminus\u00a0<\/em>will receive copies of both of his previous published Open Letter titles AND all forthcoming ones.<\/p>\n

This season’s music is all from\u00a0Mother Earth’s Plantasia\u00a0<\/i>by Mort Garson, which is Moog music for plants. This week you can hear “Symphony for a Spider Plant.” (A very Volodine title.)<\/p>\n
