Buntzcast 23. The Magic Mountain (Feat. Boschian Belle)

Buntzcast 23. The Magic Mountain (Feat. Boschian Belle)

Switching things up. Normally, the Buntzcast is a Marc Maron/Terry Gross style podcast, in which the guest distills his or her essence for the audience. We’re doing it a little different this time: this is the first installment of the Buntzcast Book Club. Boschian Belle (https://x.com/boschianbelle) pops into The Buntzcast to discuss Thomas Mann’s epochal novel of ideas, The Magic Mountain, in which the protagonist, Hans Castorp, experiences “the intoxication of ideas and the lure of eros.” You don’t want to miss this one. (If you plan on reading the novel, I’d recommend only listening to the first half though because we do give a lot away.) The next installment of the Buntzcast Book Club will be on Yukio Mishima’s The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Read it with us.

Buntzcast 21: moonandmouth

Poet moonandmouth pops into the Buntzcast to chat about the paranormal, chaos magick, precognitive visions, the secret occult currents that flow through Texas, and much more. A feast of reason. She also gives us a sneak peek of her new poetry collection, Cataclysm Moves Me I Regret to Say.

BUNTZCAST 20: Noah Kumin

Noah Kumin, editor of The Mars Review of Books and author of the new novel Stop All the Clocks, pops into the Buntzcast. We take a deep dive into the world of literature and publishing. We talk about New York, Chicago, the "Old Man of the Mountains," J.D. Salinger, Dimes Square, Noah's book, and much more. Want to learn how to become a successful author of mass produced Romantasy? Or perhaps your aspirations are more "literary." In either case, we've got you covered.

BUNTZCAST 19: Georgina Rose

Georgina Rose (aka Da'at Darling), a popular Youtuber, podcaster, and expert on all things magical and occult, drops by the Buntzcast. We have a wide-ranging and intriguing discussion, touching on the best places to do magic, planetary influences, the perils of casting love spells, finding your true will, meditation, paganism and polytheism, and much more. A banquet of gnosis.
