Join Tim and LeeAnna for Alchemy... the podcast from Effigy Press that embraces the delightful chaos of life. Whether you’re a fiction writer looking to refine your craft, or just someone who enjoys watching the world spin and needs fresh conversation material for your next cocktail party, we’ve got you covered.
Today, our podcasters dive deep into the ‘bro’ code of male types, cracking open the mysteries of the universe—or at least the gym locker room. They’ll go full throttle into the super-popular, slightly ridiculous concept of the ‘Delta Male.’ (Yes, it’s a thing, and no, we’re still not sure why.) Writers, get ready to think outside the box. Non-writers, stick around—you might learn something weird, or at the very least, laugh your way through it. Non-writers, stay tuned anyway—it’s bound to be madness.
Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve spared you the endless parade of ads from other podcasts that are clearly desperate for attention, like they’re handing out free cookies at a networking event. You’re welcome—because we care about your ears (and your dignity). And if one sneaks in, I swear we didn’t sign off on it. Just blame it on the algorithm’s obsession with ‘podcast culture.’
