In this episode, Brad & Liz are in a commemorative mood. Of their vaccinations, of Brad's birthday, (no mention of Liz's mop, alas) ... and, like a regular digestive system, Simon & Schuster's sh*tty ways. As it turns out, the episode becomes a
Brad & Liz chat with Julia Callahan from Rare Bird Books and Cristina Rodriguez from A Public Space (recently of Deep Vellum Books) to talk all things "indie." And what a conversation it is! The weeds get high, and they're whacked mightily low!
