Anthracite by Matt Thomas

Episode 40

Release Date: April 27, 2022

In this episode, your hosts talk about Anthracite, a humorous Welsh cyberpunk (setting vs genre? You decide!) novel by Matt Thomas. They consider the pros and cons of an unreliable first person narrator, and discuss the slow-burn character arc of the main character Kevin. They also present a hybrid Pet Peeve Words Are Weird about infantile food words.

Thanks to the following musicians for the use of their songs:

- Amarià for the use of “Sérénade à Notre Dame de Paris” - Josh Woodward for the use of “Electric Sunrise”
