To Sleep in a Sea of Stars: Part Three

Nov 05, 2020

Incredibly hot take to open this one, skip to 5:30 if you don't want to get mad at Luke and just want to hear about the ending of to Sleep in a Sea of Stars. We're changing our vote for most overrated characters and I feel pretty good about the newest candidates. Also let's talk about this gift giving ceremony, did someone get stiffed here?

Next week we are reading Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher, thanks to reddit user u/LonerActual for the suggestion!

Special thanks to VOLO for the intro and outro music.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars: Part Two

Oct 29, 2020

Cryotubes: do we want them or naw? Luke wants to talk about the most boring part of this book AGAIN. Also, Kira clearly needs to get a face tattoo and Dan is hoping for this book to take a radical turn near the end. Who the eff is approving hornets? Goodbye, little insect.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars: Part One

Oct 22, 2020

This is a long book and we read a third of it so make sure you get to Part II Chapter 11 before listening. As always Dan is incredibly suspicious and wants us to question everything. We go deep into some of the details of the new technology. For example these neural implants, are you getting them?
