Beskrivelse

Jilly Gagnon [https://jillygagnon.com/about/] is currently based in Salem, Massachusetts, but is originally from Minnesota, a fact she’ll likely inform you of within minutes of meeting you. She is the author of eight novels, most recently "What if it’s You?" Her ninth, "Cards on the Table" (cowritten with Lana Harper) [https://evjazz.podbean.com/e/10-entering-thistle-grove-with-lana-harper/] will publish in September of 2026. Her humor writing, personal essays, and op-eds have appeared in Newsweek, Elle, Vanity Fair, Boston magazine, and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, among others. Come with us. Today we're covering Collaborative Fiction, New Works, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Feminine 'Rage'.  Jilly [https://jillygagnon.com] is "Thrilled about my upcoming book with Lana Harper [https://evjazz.podbean.com/e/10-entering-thistle-grove-with-lana-harper/], CARDS ON THE TABLE. It features a pair of witchy sisters, one who believes wholeheartedly in their gift, and one who is CERTAIN they're just occult-flavored con artists. The quickest pitch: "Two witchy sisters find themselves framed for the disappearance of their elderly client’s substantial trust after her sudden death." A bit more: As descendants of one of the original Salem Witch Trial victims, Tori and Cassie Bishop have strong occult credentials . . . but a trickle of tarot readings won’t pay the bills, and now they’re facing eviction. When they’re offered a massive sum to play “witches in residence” to an elderly widow at her secluded Berkshires mansion, it feels like fate. But from the minute they arrive at the opulent country estate it’s clear: they’ve been dropped into a far more dangerous game than their smoke and mirrors can save them from. The widow, Rose, is in her final days and desperate for the sisters to help with her unresolved spiritual needs before she passes. Her skeptical family and staff, however, are less enthusiastic about the sisters’ presence—with the exception of Rose’s nurse and her beloved great-nephew, who find themselves inexplicably drawn to Cassie and Tori. Thrown into a viper’s nest of competing motives and impenetrable intrigues, the sisters do their best to help Rose. But after Rose’s sudden death, millions of dollars disappear from the estate overnight, and Tori and Cassie quickly become the prime suspects. Someone in the house has framed the Bishop sisters, and in order to clear their names, the two must rely on their powers—magical or otherwise—to unravel the toxic family’s tangled web of greed, resentment, and deceit. If they don’t, Rose won’t be the only victim at Berwyn House. . . ."   Today's Charity is Project Drawdown (https://drawdown.org/ [https://drawdown.org/]).

episode 18 - Red Pill Junkie: Hoaxes, Masks, and Mysteries cover

18 - Red Pill Junkie: Hoaxes, Masks, and Mysteries

Today we're talking with the illustrious Red Pill Junkie about the nature of 'The Other', The Trickster, and incidentally -- The Soul behind the Mask. Join us as we fall down the rabbit hole with Red Pill Junkie.  Red Pill Junkie. Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum & metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis in the 'moron' part), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master in the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre, but at night he pursues his life-long study of everything considered mysterious and/or 'paranormal' --a term he personally detests. When he's not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found making artsy stuff, fooling around on social media, or offering his services as writer and news administrator at The Daily Grail (dailygrail.com). He also regularly participates in other websites and podcasts like Radio Misterioso and Where Did the Road Go? He impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership —or nuclear Armageddon— in Mexico City; whichever comes first. You can find redpilljunki on X, Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/redpilljunkie.bsky.social], and at his website: absurdbydesign.com This week's charity shoutout is Colectivo Madres Buscadoras de Sonora: Learn about the Mothers searching for the remains of their lost children and other family members.
