Read Exclusively Our Works Part 1 of 2

Welcome to this episode of The Brick Cave Podcast, where hosts Marcus Campbell and Patrick Hare dive into the world of books, anime, and the joys (and challenges) of learning languages through pop culture. With a lively rapport, they share personal stories about watching the One Piece series in Japanese, reminisce about their college language classes, and discuss the often hilarious nuances of anime filler episodes.

The conversation shifts from anime to epic books, as Marcus Campbell reveals his excitement about tackling Stephen King's monumental novel "The Stand"—reminding us all that word counts can be daunting, but sometimes worth the adventure. Patrick Hare offers insights on the evolution of King's work and talks about the infamous practice of publishers re-releasing longer editions.

Listeners also get a sneak peek into upcoming Brick Cave events, like the Tucson Festival of Books, as Patrick Hare gears up to represent Brick Cave Media with an expanded booth and promises of author signings, freebie giveaways, and meeting fellow readers. The hosts wrap up with humorous anecdotes about giving poems to strangers in airports, touching on nostalgia and the unexpected treasures we collect along the way.

So settle in as The Brick Cave Podcast mixes literature, fandom, and community in this exclusive episode—where the only books you need are theirs!
