Episode 6
Sunday, 30 November, 2025
Two people meet in the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings.Our December book club discussion is on Alone with You in the Ether, a novel by Olivie Blake. We dive into the representation of bipolar disorder, both how its written and the author's note on her intentions for the story. We also have an update about the future of the podcast.
