  • The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
    May 15 2022

    It's Phil's pick this time around and Jay, under the influence of Chew-Z spends far too much time debating the meaning of the word 'stigmata'.  More importantly, what does a Barbie doll like character called Perky Pat have to do with colonies on Mars? There's a lot to unpack in this second go around with a Phillip K. Dick novel and Jay experiences 60 Freuds of stress as he ends up having to reread the book. (Yes stress is measured in Freuds in the Dickensian universe.)

    (Faithful listeners will remember that last time I warned that if you don't recommend a book for us, Phil may end up breaking  the spine of Dog-eared and Cracked with yet another Phillip K. Dick recommendation. And look where we are now!)

    We are also on Twitter now...@dogeared_pod, (at least until Palmer Eldritch...oops I mean Elon Musk's purchase offer goes through and we are forced to pay per tweet). Kidding Elon, and yes we will certainly have you on our next podcast.

  • The Year of Living Biblically
    Feb 20 2022

    Pigeon eggs and puzzles, the guys live vicariously through AJ Jacobs as he spends a year living his day to day according to the bible.

    Has Jay picked a book that Phil enjoyed reading? Or has Phil taken it a step too far this time as he recklessly reads the book by...wait for it...listening to it!

  • Dune
    Jan 14 2022

     Wait has Phil picked a book this time that' s not out of print? Hold on, this book has actually been read by a few people. What? Has Dog-eared and Cracked finally sold out ? Picking a book to read that isn't obscure or a hundred years old ?

    That's right we are taking on Dune this time! Despite all the sand in this book, this podcast is no day at the beach. Tune in to Jay's disappointment when he discovers the book's constant references to spice have nothing to do with the Spice Girls.
