Episode 69--yes, I'm juvenile enough to say "noice". Of course, I cannot miss the opportunity to capitalize on this moment. There will never be another 69th episode of this podcast.
And so today, you, my valued listener, are getting an all new story, one salacious enough to be worthy of this episode.
I first had this idea about 5 weeks ago, and thought how I could best honour this episode. Olive already has their own s...
Brian Klingborg is the author of the Lu Fei mystery series. Today we are mostly speaking about Book 2 in that series, Wild Prey, wherein detective Lu Fei investigates wildlife trafficking, eventually landing him in Myanmar. There, he meets a half-Chinese warlady who, in my reading, bears a startling resemblance to the 1950s Golden Triangle opium kingpin Olive Yang.

In debt to some Thai gangsters, crossdressing Burmese "princess" tries to run a ruby smuggling scheme just after the end of World War 2, at a ping pong club in Pattaya, Thailand.
The Pattaya Gambit was developed as a short story within my Yang-Yoshiko universe, a prequel to my 2025 novel Tiger Blues. It has since expanded beyond the bounds of a short story, into a novella. Today we are previewing the first three chapte...
In 2019, I took a 4-country tour of Southeast Asia, a trip which would ultimately influence the development of my Yang-Yoshiko series in 2025. Part of that trip included a visit to a ping pong show at a go-go bar named Suzie Wong, in Soi Cowboy, Bangkok.
I must be doing something right (?) with SEO, because the travelogue I wrote afterwards is consistently the second most popular page on my website. Now I have put that travelogue to...
Stalin's a Whore is a 2021 short story which satirizes Stalin's legacy, and communism in general, through the lens of a gay gangbang. Stalin's a Whore was released back in episode 11, but it is now being folded into my Yang-Yoshiko universe, and has been rerecorded for this episode.
Episode is explicit.

I am blown away. As I record this, I have just finished my lastbookshows of the year, in Smiths Falls and Brockville. While there may be some online sales that still come through, I can for the most part finalize my bookkeeping and look at the numbers. For many years now-in fact I think this has always been the case-The Zimmer Insurgency and the Hounds of Harujin have been my number 1 and 2 bestsellers. Well,Tiger Blues, my newest ...

Sean Stokes is the author of 2 novels, The Red Notebook, and The Ghost of Vimy Ridge. Today we are talking predominantly on The Red Notebook. I met Sean this summer, and he told me that this book was based on a true story of his time working at a sex shop. It is a string of ridiculous encounters, one after the other, but is also surprisingly heartfelt, a roman a clef, a sort of autofiction very much in the style of someone like Cha...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
