Our Hosts

Caleb James K.

Caleb James K. is the former Editor-in-Chief of the literary journal, Drunken Pen Writing, and the host of the DPW Podcast. He’s also a fiction writer, poet, and aspiring novelist.

Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.

In this episode, we are doing something different. We’re playing a game! More specifically, Name That Author!

The rules of the game are simple. Caleb has given Spencer a long list of authors and as he reads a random excerpt from the work of those authors, it’s up to Spencer to see if he can guess who wrote what.

If you’d like to play along, here is the list:

Kurt Vonnegut, David Foster Wallace, Haruki Murakami, James Joyce, Anthony Burgess, Yukio Mishima, Cormac McCarthy, Natsume Soseki, Stephen King, Ryu Murakami, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Paul E. Cooley, Bram Stoker, J.D. Salinger, Chinua Achebe, Andy Weir, Walt Whitman, H.P. Lovecraft, H.G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, J.R.R. Tolkien, Máirtín Ó Cadhain, Nicolás Obregón

#219: Books We Want To See Turned Into Movies Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

The government has decided to pay us not to work and instead focus on our art! Or at least that's the scenario we discuss in today's cold open. What would you do with your free time if you received a universal basic income and no longer had to work a day job? After that, and on the back of Andy Weir's hit book turned movie, Project Hail Mary, we learn about plans for a new sci-fi flick adapted from a popular book series. This leads us to a conversation about what books, sci-fi and others, that we would like to see adapted into a movie or TV series.
