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 off the episode with a quick correction from last week. After that, we discuss a lecture series by Kurt Vonnegut that features his master’s thesis about the shapes of stories.
To add to what Mr. Vonnegut talked about in his lecture, we also revisit the seven kinds of stories and do our best to fit them into Vonnegut’s shapes theory.

#218: Talking About Pulp Novels Again – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
In today's cold open, we discuss the nonsense that is Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. It's about rockets and man boners. That's probably all you need to know.
After that, we settle in and talk about famous literary novels that started off as pulp. Or so we're told! There's a lot of goofiness packed into this one.
You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @dpwpodcast.
