Bonus: You Swallowed a Piece of Meat

Let's hear it for the horrors of love! This episode is the second part of our two-part discussion of the short story “The Unwanted Guest,” from the paperback edition of Nona the Ninth. We're taking a deep dive into the implications of this short story for the entire series.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped us resurrect the pod with your Patreon support, and to our new audio editor, Adam! And to everyone who's simply stuck around through our hiatus and still wants to listen to us talk about these books. We're looking forward to putting out episodes reguarly again every two weeks.

If you want to become a patron, you can find us at patreon.com/onefleshonepod.

And if you just want to say hi or have any questions or theories to discuss, we're on Twitter, Tumblr, and TikTok @onefleshonepod or you can e-mail onefleshonepod@gmail.com.
