Episode Thirteen: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction

This episode, we take a hopefully-not-too-grim look at the genre of post-apocalyptic fiction. Emily wonders why the genre attracts so many hyper-masculine writers and Kyle talks about one of his favorite and one of his least favorite novels.

No spoilers to speak of in this episode.
