Mapping the Zone podcast @mappingthezone.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Just finished this and, as a San Antonio native, it just reminds me of why I left Texas. I love the people there (mostly), but the unabashed whitewashing of TX history is appalling. Please read this book! @cltomlinson.bsky.social, if you and your co-authors ever want to come on, please let me know 1132
Mapping the Zone podcast @mappingthezone.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I am all for having authors on the show—Pynchon adjacent or not—but if you send us this kind of AI horseshit (even as someone representing the author), it’s going right in trash. That being said, if you’re an author and want to come on the show, hit us up. Respect art. Respect artists. Fuck AI. 130

Mapping the Zone podcast @mappingthezone.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I love a good cup of coffee to go with a good book, and I appreciate a good vessel for it.

Support human-made art! 100

Mapping the Zone podcast @mappingthezone.bsky.social · 10/09/2025This one is gonna stick with me for a while. A tremendous critique of the horrors of both industrialized farming and late-stage capitalism. Highly recommended, but be warned it is extremely unsettling in its portrayal of violence 020
