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 were so eager to record this episode that we forgot to do a cold open and the introduction! What we did record is an entertaining discussion of Edgar Allan Poe’s masterpiece, The Raven.
While we break down the poem in style and structure, we also discuss how it came to be, its influences, the life of Poe after writing The Raven, and some writers he influenced. We also talk about some of his other notable works.
#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.
