    Join sister podcasts and Story Sirens Studio productions The Scripturient Society and That Pretentious Book Club in this third annual Christmas party for readers, writers, and nerds, and lovers of babies! This year the hosts witness a return of the bookish madlibs and a wholesome yet theologically confusing Christmas chain story.

  • The Catcher in the Rye
    Mar 6 2023
    Welcome to Season 5 Episode 8 of That Pretentious Book Club!

    In this episode not only does Ash returns in all her Wheezy glory, but the club is also joined by pod-sister-graphic-designer Maddie Hull for a truly rousing discussion of The Catcher in the Rye byJ.D. Salinger. With a polarizing protagonist and a painfully relatable (to some) portrayal of the teenage experience, this is a book that is renowned for being entirely loved or entirely hated. One thing is for certain, Spoons, Wheezy, and even the club's special guest host this episode have STRONG opinions and plenty to say (and laugh) about when discussing this classic.

  • King of Scars
    Feb 20 2023

    Welcome to Season 5 Episode 7 of That Pretentious Book Club!

    This very special episode is hosted by none other than Dr. Spoons Palermo and Pod Nurse Haleigh (usual host Wheezy has taken a break this episode due to-well-her wheezy-ness). In this episode Spoons and Haleigh discuss King of Scars by our queen of fantasy, Leigh Bardugo! The first book in the final duology to the Grishaverse focuses on the dangers facing former-prince-now-king Nikolai of Ravka, Zoya, Nina, and other beloved characters from the universe. Join the club as these hosts swoon over our boy Nikolai and find PLENTY to laugh about from the truly hilarious to the absurd in this fan-favorite!
