The Podcast Must Go On
Volume 28 of Brad & Mira For the Culture.
What can we say? A tragic and apocalyptic week here in Los Angeles. Today's episode is a conversation about the fires. The episode almost didn't happen. Mira has asthma and fled to the desert in such haste that she forgot her computer. So recording was difficult. (She ended up using her phone, which created technical difficulties, which is why this episode is airing a day late.) We talk about, among other things, air quality, particulate matter, toxic ash. About incinerated Warhols and celebrities who lost their homes. And other stuff.
Hopefully we'll be back to some semblance of normal next week and having a fun, mindless conversation about meaningless pop culture bullshit.

My Favorite Fiction of 2024
In what is now possibly an annual tradition, I share my favorite fiction of the year. Specifically, my 5 favorite books. As always, it was next to impossible to choose. Lots of novels and story collections could've made the list, but the job is to narrow it down. And so I did my best.
