    064 - Robbie Dorman Part 1: Writing Fast-Paced Fiction & Why You Should Read Robbie Dorman
    Oct 20 2025
    In this episode of Weird Reads, I paste two older Jason's Weird Reads videos together, both involving Robbie Dorman. The first is a short explanation as to why I think you should read Robbie's books; the second is from when I had Robbie on the show about two years ago. That episode never got released in podcast form until now. Next week, assuming the tech gods still don't hate me, you will get an all-new discussion with Robbie Dorman.

    062 - John Palisano Talks Space Horror and Requiem
    Sep 29 2025
    Weird Reads welcomes Bram Stoker Award–winning author John Palisano! In this episode, we delve into the worlds of science, space, and Gothic space horror, exploring what scared us as kids, how music shapes who we are, and why it’s so essential to the human experience. We unpack the themes and philosophy behind his latest novel, Requiem, and cover so much more along the way. This conversation was truly fascinating, and I think you’ll love it!

    061 - Jonathan Janz Talks Lenora and VEIL
    Sep 15 2025
    Horror author Jonathan Janz joins Weird Reads to talk about protecting the horror genre, the influence of Stephen King, writing in another writer’s universe, animals in horror, anti-intellectualism, and the tricky balance between loving your own work while staying critical. Jonathan is one of my favourite authors, so it was a pure pleasure and an honour to be able to chat with him. My thanks to him for coming on despite being sick!

    060 - Chris Panatier Talks Sh!tshow
    Sep 1 2025
    In this episode of Weird Reads, I sit down with author and artist Chris Panatier for a conversation that spans the heavy and the cosmic. We dive into his love of heavy metal bands and how music fuels his creativity, his experience designing album cover art, and why movies like Interstellar capture both the wonder and terror of space.

    Chris also shares his thoughts on astrophysics, the awe-inspiring scale of the universe, and how writing fiction can be a way to confront your deepest fears. From metal riffs to cosmic dread, this is a discussion that blurs the lines between art, science, and storytelling.
