We begin today’s episode by discussing the importance of joining a writing group. After that, we talk about our recent reads, including the absolutely crazy novel, “Pulp” by Charles Bukowski. Things take a turn for the weird very quickly in this one!

After all of that, we have a quick ranking of Haruki Murakami’s books and discuss possibly comparing his work to that of Ryu Murakami’s in a future episode. 

#223: Discussing Stories That Are Rarely Told Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We open today's episode with an unorthodox review of The Devil Wears Prada 2. After that nonsense, we discuss the types of stories you rarely, or never, read about or see in the movies. Such as Caleb's latest story, "Santuario," featured in Starlite Pulp Review Issue 8, coming in July 2026!
