The boys return from an impromptu hiatus, discussing a little bit about Forrest's writing process and his current focus on illustrating. Eli makes a distinction between skill and creativity, while Forrest makes an example of J. R. R. Tolkien.

In today's episode, we are privileged to talk to the crazy talented (and published!) artist Brenna Lopes, a self-proclaimed enthusiast of all things mythical and magical. We discuss her routine of reading eight books at the same time, Eli enlightens us about Australian folklore, and Forrest finds a rare opportunity to talk about fox domestication.

The Aussies outnumber the American 2 to 1 in this episode, so it's a fair fight at last. Today your hosts are joined by Arron Floyd, a psychology/philosophy lecturer and writer. We discuss a litany of topics such as neurons that aren't in your brain, the use of horror in fiction, religious beginnings, nursery rhymes, as well as many fine readings from Arron's own work (in which he informs us on whether or not the greek god Poseidon can swim).

Intro/Outro Music: "The Quiet Life" by Forest Hall.

Alternatively titled, "The Cat Who Could Dingo."

We talk about books! Favorite authors, underrated or aptly rated. Join us for a rambling but energetic back and forth about authors we love and why we love them. Eli literally herds some cats, Forrest mouths off more than once, and both admit they are in fact human after all.
