The depths of my hatred of HFM is bottomless
Stupidest MFing sickness I've ever had. 3yo kid got the least of it but me and her had ~36hrs of being as sick as we've ever been in our lives. We were at 30min shifts before switching off cause that's all either of us could handle.

As a millennial dad, I have never felt more seen by a podcast episode than this conversation hosted by @weeklyshowpod Jon Stewart with Tony Gilroy (creator of Andor) and @mikeduncan.bsky.social, the great history podcaster whose work Iβve devoured for over a decade

Who were all born within a few years of each other in the 1750s and died withing a few years of each other in the 1830s. Between the three of you can cover pretty much everything

Just finished listening to this. Some of the best science fiction I have had the honor of experiencing, and some of the best usage of the podcast format. Totally brilliant!

I hope this inspire more people to start writing Fictional Non-Fiction because it's such an amazing genre that not many authors have explored.
