We also figure out a fun way to make Goodreads reviews more legitimate. Here’s a hint, it deals with users getting assigned a difficulty score based on the books they read.

DBS #135: Ranting And Raving Writers Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

Today's cold open ended up taking over the entire episode. What began as a rant against writers using AI to create their novels transforms into a bitch-fest about the state of the US, the outrageous cost of living, and the greedy bastards who are destroying everything for everyone.  You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast You can check out Caleb's work at http://www.calebjamesk.com.
