We also talked about his love of music, live shows, vinyl records, and living in Los Angeles for a spell. Naturally, we touched on a few of his favorite albums, which were these:Beck's Odelay (1996)The Ugly Organ (2003), CursiveDeath From Above 1979's You're a Woman, I'm a Machine (2004)Brock is one of the most intelligent folks I've had the opportunity to sit and visit with and I'm pleased that I took the opportunity to pass along my gratitude for the work he and his crew put in at The Pitch.

We had very little wriggle room this month, so when we couldn't record at the scheduled time, we had to postpone our episode about Strata. That's still coming for the 25th of June, but to make sure you're not left hanging, Ben has conjured up this bonus episode on his own! He'll discuss the latest news in the world of Terry Pratchett - and there's surprisingly a lot - and also have a quick chat with Danny Sag, Vice-Chair of Nullus Anxietas, the Australian Discworld Convention, to talk about what makes fan conventions - and Nullus Anxietas - tick. Which of the upcoming Pratchett projects has you most excited? Are there any specific short stories you think we should have on our list for a whole episode? Have you read any of Gabrielle Kent's books? Are you keen to go to a Discworld convention? Do you really want to hear a bonus episode about how the sausage...sorry, the podcast gets made? And why is this last-minute bonus episode still nearly an hour long??? Use the hashtag #PratchatElsewhere on social media to answer these questions, or get in touch via email or our subscriber Discord. Big thanks to Danny Sag for making time for this episode at the last minute - and for dropping so many hints that he wants us to be guests for Nullus Anxietas 9... We hope we can! That website again is ausdwcon.org. We also mentioned the Pratchett podcasts The Compleat Discography; Radio Morpork; The Death of Podcasts; Wyrd Sisters; I've Never Read Discworld; Desert Island Discworld; The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret; and Who Watches the Watch. Plus two others edited by Ben: Kate and Adele's Bridgerton podcast What Would Danbury Do?, and Brock Wilbur's big weird heart of a show, Caring Into the Void. Next episode is the rescheduled #Pratchat68 discussing Strata with someone who's no stranger to fan conventions, EJ Mann! Then in July, Deanne Sheldon-Collins returns for the fourth Long Earth novel, The Long Utopia, in #Pratchat69. Send in questions using those hashtags on social media, or send us an email at chat@pratchatpodcast.com. You'll find the full notes and errata for this episode on our web site.

We're back, baby! After a couple of months of hiatus (and a whole new set of chompers for Nathan), Travolta/Cage is back on the case! We're not the only thing that's returned: not only do we have guest Brock Wilbur (co-author of Postal, Editor in Chief of KC's The Pitch) popping back on the show, we finally see the vaunted return of John Travolta to the pod. Unfortunately, it's for Life on the Line, a too-schmaltzy-by-half ode to electrical line workers that plays out like Yellowstone with fewer horses. Hope you like ponytail beards and white dudes named Pok' Chop! On the Cage side of things, he's slumming it in low-rent supernatural horror with Pay the Ghost, as a lit professor in New York who starts seeing apparitions of his missing son a year after losing him.... at Halloween! (Cue crackling thunder.) It's also pretty dismal, an Insidious riff that lacks any of that film's charm or atmosphere, which leads to a pretty grim double feature all around. Still, we brighten things up with a quick chat about Cage's latest, Renfield -- did we like it? Did we think it made the best use of Cage's lifelong mission to play Count Dracula? Find out!

The boys employ daily journaling of spontaneous prose to get their creative juices flowing. In April of 1951, Jack Kerouac sat down at a typewriter for three weeks and poured On The Road onto a now-legendary scroll. In May of 2022, Adam, Andrew and Ben tried to sit down in front of a journal every morning for a week and then write down whatever comes out of their heads. And literature, as we know it, was shook off its axis anew.  Featuring standup comedy clips from Rosalie Jaymes-Taylor and Brock Wilbur!

If there's ever a time to ask the big questions, this is it, when the world is as confusing and bewildering as it's been in decades. Brock Wilbur--writer, comedian, editor of Kansas City's alt-weekly The Pitch, and the man who blew the lid off of the NXIVM sex cult--joins Garrett Martin to dig into Forky Asks a Question, the Pixar shorts starring the inquisitive spork creature from Toy Story 4. Ponder the universe, people.

Our most impressive season finale has some serious daddy issues as Brock Wilbur (@brockwilbur) siths down with us to talk about Darth Vader and this Star Wars thing the kids are all so excited about. Also, if you're looking for a great Life Day gift, be sure to check out Brock's book Postal, a hilarious look at a horrible game with an even worse film adaptation.

In this episode, Al interviews Brock Wilbur, political reporter and standup comedian (recorded 2-5-20). Brock describes a life with several suicide attempts, one as young as 3rd or 4th grade. He describes losing many friends who would simply disappear from his life with no known reason. Until, that is, one day when a friend called Brock's wife to explain that Brock had broken into her apartment and ranted at her for about an hour about a treasure map that didn't exist. She was especially concerned recognizing that he was neither drunk nor on drugs. Two years ago, after Brock's friend expressed her concern, Brock and his wife decided it would be good to see a doctor. He was diagnosed with rapid cycling bipolar disorder. This diagnosis helped him start to piece together what had happened to the many friendships he had lost. As a political reporter, hear how Brock fell into a situation where he was one of the journalists who helped expose the NXIVM cult to the world. Brock has three standup albums on iTunes.
