Episode 15 - Kevin and John Discuss the Complexities of War (both real and imagined)

Kevin is joined once again by the guest of LTRT's inaugural episode, John L.! As the saying goes, "The more things change, the more they stay the same", and that certainly could be said for our hosts. John first brings another comparison between music and writing as he examines the epic "One" by Metallica and a National Book Award winner from the 1930's. Kevin, for his part, stays in his sci-fi lane with a comparison of the 2008 sci-fi series "Fringe" and a more recent Hugo and Nebula Award winning novella. Join the guys as they delve into the dangers of war and find out if you Like That? Read This!

Episode 14 - Kevin and Megan discuss the good and the bad in people

Back for her second episode, Kevin is joined by his coworker Megan on this episode to discuss some really good (and not so good) people in their media and book recommendations. Megan kicks things off with an examination of the HBO hit "The White Lotus" before giving a book rec that follows pretty closely. On the flip side of humanity, Kevin talks about the wholesome nature of AppleTV's "Ted Lasso" before looking at a book all about identity and acceptance. Whether you join for the good OR the bad, we think there's something for everyone on this episode of Like That? Read This!

Episode 13 - Kevin, Natalie, and The Meaning of Everything (well, maybe not)

Like That? Read This! is finally back with all new episodes for Season 2! In this season opener, Kevin is joined by new guest host Natalie as they examine some brutal and heartbreaking works. First, Natalie compares Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster to one of Chuck Palahniuk's earliest works in an investigation of the absurd. Then, Kevin breaks down Death Cab For Cutie's 2003 concept album Transatlanticism before looking at a breakout science fiction debut from 2022. And all the while, Natalie and Kevin hope to determine the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
