"Echoes of Forgetting" - There Is No Antimemetics Division with The Devil's Tower
Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast
In this episode, two timelines collide. Something must have happened. We thought we recorded this once before, but upon looking, there was nothing. We recorded again, and now there are fragments of the ghost of a show inside the episode! This week we are getting scared to death with "There is no Antimemetics Division" by QNTM. This story is like a British spy novel set in the universe of cosmic horror with a decidedly 21st Century feel. It is terrifying, crushing, and awe inspiring. We love it. Appropriately enough, we're pairing it with The Devil's Tower from...

info_outlineStephen King has a habit of putting his strongest messages into his shortest of works. Stand By Me (The Body), Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Life of Chuck is no exception. First of all, read it. No. Really. READ IT. Then go and watch the movie. No no. Really. WATCH THE MOVIE.
The Life of Chuck is the affirmation of life that we need in the world we live in today. It doesn't assure us that all will be well, or even that everything will work out just the way we want or hope or think we deserve. No, but it does affirm to us all this. Each of us, every single one of us, are more than we suppose. Not just that, but additionally, who we are, what we experience, what we dream and hope and imagine, absolutely all of it, is important in some way and to some one.
Our pairing on this episode is Ryes of the Robots by Filmland Spirits. We felt it was appropriate. This is a fantastic rye whiskey, and we're looking forward to telling you all about it.
