  • 63. Stalin's a Wh*re (short story - re-recorded)
    Dec 18 2025

    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.

  • 62. B*tch-Slapping Stalin (a Yang-Yoshiko short story)
    Dec 11 2025

    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 release, my first foray into steampunk, which is a bit of a niche subgenre, only came out in September. And it surged ahead of Hounds to become my number 2 seller, just barely behind Zimmer (incidentally, I will give a personal shoutout on the podcast if any three listeners want to push it over that finish line, because three more copies will be all it takes to tip the scales).


    And so today, we are releasing the audio for a Kawashima Yoshiko short story, Bitch-Slapping Stalin. This short story was included in the Kickstarter version of Tiger Blues, but has not been available to the public at large until now. This follows Yoshiko on a 1935 spying mission for Japan, set in Moscow, and based upon the incident wherein Mongolian Prime Minister Peljidiin Genden slapped Joseph Stalin. An historical note follows the main text.

  • 61. Colin Searle (author of The Call of Abaddon)
    Dec 4 2025

    Colin Searle is the author of the recently released military sci-fi / dystopian book The Call of Abaddon, which has been described as a blend of Dune, Firestarter, and the Expanse. We discuss Colin’s journey, his process, inspiration, and what it was like writing such an epic with no previous novel experience.

    Colin has also produced The Call of Abaddon audiobook, available on Audible, which he recorded himself. The first 5 hours of the audiobook are available for free when you join Colin’s mailing list. Colin also shared a portion of that recording, which follows our discussion, beginning at timestamp 54:45
