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.


We kick things off by discussing if we think any movie or movie franchise will ever be able to replicate Avengers Endgame. We also go into the current state of Marvel movies and comic books a bit.

After that, we go into some fun writing talk. We cover reading and writing burnout, the problem with writing stories in a contemporary setting, and why these darn kids today are screwing up text messaging. 

#234: Noir Starter Pack For Beginners – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We kick things off today with a reading from Finnegans Wake. This leads to some explanation of the nonsense that also sounds like nonsense.  After that, we sit back with bad whiskey and talk about some of the best noir novels for people who are new to the genre.
