  • Bonus Episode: The Last Traverse
    Jun 20 2026

    Joe and Becky get down in discussing what not to do when hiking big mountains in winter. The Last Traverse by Ty Gagne is a true account of two men that attempted to traverse Franconia Notch in winter and get caught in a nasty storm. It is a moving story told in the words of the one survivor, the rescuers, and friends and family that knew the two men.

    Next month, Joe has picked the classic Science Fiction book, Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov. This book is the first full novel of the Robot books. We recommend that you check it out with us to see what all the fuss is about. That episode will be dropping on the 5th July.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

  • The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi Book Review
    Jun 5 2026

    Alex has given himself a challenge since I told him to rage read Some Desperate Glory. He is trying to read all the other Hugo nominations from that year to see if SDG actually deserved to win and it was simply a bad year. This is the first book that he picked up from that class, and he thought Joe should check it out too.

    In this episode we read The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty. Listen in if you want to hear if the brothers think it is worth the read and to see if they think this book lost fair and square to Some Desperate Glory, or if the title was stolen.

    Next month, Joe has picked the classic Science Fiction book, Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov. This book is the first full novel of the Robot books. We recommend that you check it out with us to see what all the fuss is about. That episode will be dropping on the 5th July.

  • Bonus Episode: The Butcher Game: The Game!
    May 20 2026

    Yes. We are beating this dead horse some more. But, this episode had to be one of the most fun episodes we have yet to record. Alex, was finally guilted into reading the Butcher Game by Alaina Urquhart. Not wanting to stay quiet on his thoughts about it, he developed a game for Joe to play. There is even an award if Joe wins. Or if he loses, Alex gets to exact his costs out of Joe for forcing him to read the book.

    The Butcher Game: The Game is our first attempt at making a game show. Joe has to stretch his memory and mind as to a series he has done his best to block. Let's see if he is able to get past Alex's deviously difficult questions. Becky even makes a guest appearance for the last portion of the game (this was the best part of the whole night; you don't want to miss it).

    Next month is Alex's book pick. He has chosen the Hugo nominee The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty for everyone to read for our June episode. So, be sure to pick up a copy so that you can read along with us and see if you have a similar opinion as the brothers do.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.
