    On Queer Horror, with Cursed Morsels Press

    Y’all loved the Neon Hemlock episode, so here’s yet another episode where we sit down with someone in weird, queer, independent publishing! Eric Raglin of Cursed Morsels press talks to us about why us queers love horror, the definition of antifascist art (and how it differs from/intersects with action), and the ongoing battle of writing versus slop.

    Hard Drive Mag Is Dead, Long Live GG Tribune! Ft. The GG Tribune Founders

    What do you do when the video game comedy website you write for is bought out and you stop getting paid and everything gets a lot worse? You start your own worker-run, people-first, video game comedy website that rules, that's what! We are joined by the founders of the GG Tribune to discuss the horrific behavior of the new owner of Hard Drive Magazine, their break from it, and the work they're doing to make actually cool stuff! This is a story of labor struggle, the fight for artistic autonomy, and of course...the battle for the narrative. Go support GG Tribune today! https://ggtribune.com/ Also, don't forget to support Workers' Lit on Patreon! www.patreon/com/workerslit

    Wallace Shawn's "The Fever," ft. Ethan (People's New Republic).

    Yes, THAT Wallace Shawn wrote a play about reckoning with capitalism’s horrors as a privileged person in the imperial core. Written in 1990, it hits like a dozen punches to the gut. Ethan of People’s New Republic and The Sandcastle Business joins us to discuss his own staging of this show, the impacts it’s had on him, and the brutality of the challenge it poses.
