Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast
Once again, Stephen and Mark return to the universe of Stephen King in this massively surprising and haunting tale of ghosts, racism, and the sins of the father. They'll need something to offer the spirits to keep the nightmares away, and only a very special bottom of Evan Williams will do the job.

Stephen and Mark take a romp through time and space, through relationships lost and found, through paradoxes and moral dilemmas. Cosmic anamolies and personal inevitabilities abound in the wonderfully haunting and lyrical story by Emily St. John Mandel. "Sea of Tranquility" is anything but, and we'll need the help of none other than Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls (or at least his bourbon) to get us through it all.

It's like Alma Katsu Month in the House of Stephen and Mark! Because we have enjoyed it so much (and it's fun to go back to episode 4). Keep in mind that we did this episode in November of 2020, in the midst of lockdown time in Illinois. Take a re-listen with the beauty of hindsight.

Stephen and Mark dive deep into a story about spirits, balloons, spiders, and Japanese American internment camps in "The Fervor" by Alma Katsu.
