DBS #88: Fairy Tales And Dirty Smut

Meet
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.


Caleb opens the podcast by reading an excerpt from The Marquis De Sade’s 120 Days of Sodom. You may want to skip straight to the episode if you’re easily grossed out. 

Today we discuss what makes something a fairy tale instead of a fantasy. We also figure out if some famous works count as fairy tales, such as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and even the Bible!

#223: Discussing Stories That Are Rarely Told Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We open today's episode with an unorthodox review of The Devil Wears Prada 2. After that nonsense, we discuss the types of stories you rarely, or never, read about or see in the movies. Such as Caleb's latest story, "Santuario," featured in Starlite Pulp Review Issue 8, coming in July 2026!
