John talks to the extremely erudite Benn Ray from Atomic Books. Benn and John talk music, horror movies and scary books. Benn lists his spooky book picks for Halloween as well as a few cookbooks to help you with your pandemic cooking. Thanks for listening!

Star Wars means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but to me it will always be the fantasy that devoured my youth. It is also the most mainstream thing in the world. It is also flawed. Trying to reconcile these things will keep an over-thinker up all night, so what I’ve done here is what any self-aware person with a problem should do: I’ve reached out. In this episode you’ll find conversations with a nice variety of folk about the nature of fandom, escapism, childhood obsession, adult disappointment, overacting, and even a rare bit of arcana that has escaped the attention of most fans for 30 years. NOTE: This is an archival podcast originally released on August 12, 2015. Chris Garrison is a cartoonist and inventor of games and has been my friend since 7th grade. Peep his crazycool drawings at garrisonsjunk.blogspot.com.  Comedian Ronald James is co-host, along with yours truly and our pal Steve Reter, of Movie Schmovie, a film conversation podcast that will hopefully make you laugh and give you a safe place to overthink your cinematic favorites. Find it at movieschmovie.com. And speaking of film podcasts, you really should be listening to The Projection Booth, on which Mike White and a shockingly comprehensive gang of guests go deeper than anyone else into the way movies are made and how they make us feel. It’s addictive and it awaits you here at projection-booth.blogspot.com. Underground mainstay Skizz Cyzyk creates movies and music and does many fun things related to movies and music. Try to make sense of all the hats he wears by checking out his web-hub, skizz.net. Shit-Stirring Benn Ray’s trenchant opinions and observations can be enjoyed @mobtownshank. And if you’re ever in Hampden, MD, pop in to Atomic Books!Bekah Weininger is great! Follow her on Twitter @bekahweininger. And good ol' Jonathan Eaton can be found on Twitter @jonbrak.

Another episode of A Comics Show to Be Named Later with artist Mike Morrocco and Gary Thompson, Director at Dead Reckoning.  We discuss Mike and Gary's college days together, their work at Dead Reckoning, and of course our favorite comics including Dan Slott's She-Hulk, Daniel Warren Johnson's Wonder Woman, and a bunch of different X-Men runs. Also a possible Marvel Vs Capcom comic? Mike and Gary also shout out Collectors Corner and Atomic Books in Baltimore.  Hopefully you enjoy. Stay safe and read comics!     

A tiny knife, a miniature bloodstained blanket. Bruce Goldfarb, of the chief medical examiner’s office, tells us about the tiny clues arranged by a wealthy Chicago socialite. His new book is "18 Tiny Deaths: The Untold Story of Frances Glessner Lee and the Invention of Modern Forensics". During World War II, Lee designed scale models of unexplained deaths, as a tool to teach detectives unbiased observation. Seventy years later, her models are still in use. The Maryland State Medical Society and the Center for a Healthy Maryland are hosting a book launch tomorrow evening at 6:30 at 1211 Cathedral St. Bruce Goldfarb will also be speaking at Atomic Books, 3620 Falls Rd - a week from Saturday, February 15 at 7 pm. We spoke with Bruce Goldfarb on October 30, 2019, before his book was published. This is an updated and extended version of that conversation.

There are a lot of reasons a song might get stuck in your head. Sometimes it’s because the thing is so darn catchy. Other times, it might be a theme or idea that resonates with you. But once it’s in there, a true earworm won’t leave. In this episode, I chat with a gaggle of folks about the tunes that plague them, in addition to breaking down the lyrical quirk of a particular classic rock cut which has nagged at me for decades.  NOTE: This is an archival podcast originally released on July 6th, 2015.

The summer before he starts high school, 14-year-old Miles doesn’t have much to do but get into trouble. He smokes weed; fights with his younger sisters; clashes with his parents, who are divorcing; obsesses over a crush; has few friends; and takes his skateboard anywhere around Baltimore that might pierce his adolescent boredom. We know all this from his diary-- it is the just-published novel ----Kill Me Now,---- by author Timmy Reed.Reed will be speaking at Atomic Books on February 1 (in conversation with Madison Smartt Bell) and Bird in Hand on February 8th (in conversation with Jane Delury).

“I think the word we’re dancing around is gentrification.” So says Benn Ray of Atomic Books at the outset of this episode. What follows is a multidimensional portrait of a neighborhood in flux.  The 3600 block of Falls Road is a mix of longtime rowhome residents, recovering opiate addicts, and a new wave of business owners whose trendy boutiques have come to redefine a neighborhood that’s been in long economic decline.  Who does Hampden belong to?  The answer depends who you ask.

This past weekend, Jacqueline Frances officially kicked off her tour with a road trip to Baltimore (after Joel Murphy's gentle pleadings to get her to come to "the forgotten stepchild of the East Coast"). She performed stand up at the Second Saturday S#!t Show at the Ottobar, dropped off copies of her book at Atomic Books and explored the city with her entourage. Sunday afternoon, Murphy and Lars Periwinkle stopped Jacq's posh AirBnB to talk about the tour and to shoot the breeze.
