Warning!! If you don't want to hear a colonoscopy story (lol) skip to 10:00.

You heard it here first folks, Severian went to the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Join us as we read chapters 32 & 33 of Shadow of the Torturer and learn about Severian's own techniques and goals as a writer, what the "Key to the Universe" might be, and why torturers don't go to the doctor. Later, we ask which attachment is greater: the attachment to the person of the monarch or the attachment to a very cute dog?!

Second Warning!! Severian uses the worst phrase ever invented to describe a woman's boobs and we are contractually obligated to say it on air.
