We are happy to welcome Winespring Cafe on our program to discuss the love of books and food, and how those things bring communities together at the grassroots level. There's a lot to noodle on as we discuss our recipe exchange, and discover how Foodways is integral to connecting with the people we love around us.

Hail, Satan.

No, not really. Join us as we talk about the activism of The Satanic Temple (tst), how it's NOT the same as the Church of Satan, and is a mostly non-secular activist society. The Satanic Temple has done quite a bit of work over the years of holding states accountable to the motto, "Separation of Church and State." This episode explores what their charitable works mean for the average American, and how some people may not even realize just what groups are working to advocate for religious freedom in America.

Get to know even MORE about the Literary Leftists as we discuss:

• Anime
• Film
• Manga
• Books

And more. Also, we talk about politics, kinda.

In this very special Patriotic episode, Jenn, Ken, and Autumn discuss some things that they may have neglected in the "About Us" episode, and also their patriotic feelings during the Independence Day weekend in America.

We absolutely DO NOT endorse playing a drinking game every time the word "Patriotic," or one the word's derivatives, is dropped in this episode. It will not end well.

This Episode is rated M, but only for extra 'Murica.

It's been 7 months in the making, but we're finally ready to present ourselves to the world.

We are the Literary Leftists!

Navigating capitalist hellscapes can be tiring. Jenn, Ken, and Autumn are here every Thursday to help guide you through the trenches of American propaganda, politics, and policy.  We also talk about fantasy fiction, sometimes.

On this episode of the Literary Leftists Podcast, we invite YouTuber Biological Riley on to discuss the Activision Blizzard/Microsoft merger, the lawsuit, and our favorite video games from childhood.
