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

Author C.E. Hoffman joins us to discuss their newest short story collection, Losers and Freaks. While we talk about the book a good bit, we also touch upon many interesting topics such as writing urban fantasy, getting pigeon-holed as a genre writer, delving into experimental fiction, the importance of being authentic, how literature gives hope, what kinds of things inspire artists, and why the arts are so important to mental health.

#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.
