They don‘t try to spoil anything else but, then again it‘s not a prepossessing podcast. https://www.patreon.com/rereadingwolfe

Warning: almost no Wolfe content at all. James and Craig just sit around in the same room (for the first time ever) and talk about going to a relatively uneventful con. Never say we don't provide novel, exciting content. But we do throw around some ideas for a Wolfe-con near the end.
And we mention books we bought and/or learned about:
- Damon Knight, Three Novels
- Humphrey Carter, Tolkien: A Biography
- Tolkien, Unfinished Tales
- Greg Ketter (ed.), Shelf Life: Fantastic Stories Celebrating Bookstores [includes Wolfe's "From the Cradle"]
- Tom Disch, Neighboring Lives and The Priest
- C.S.E. Cooney, Desdemona and the Deep
- Swanwick, Cigar-Box Faust and Other Miniatures
- Theodora Goss, Snow White Learns Witchcraft
- Christopher John Farley, Kingston by Starlight
- Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow
- K.B. Wagers, Out Past the Stars
- William Horwood, Duncan Woods
- Nicole Korner-Stace, Firebreak
- Barry Hughart, Bridge of Birds
- and a new (to us) podcast: The Skiffy and Fanty Show

The (first) Brian Evenson Interview
Brian Evenson is an academic and acclaimed, award-winning author of novels and stories spanning every conceivable genre. Naturally he is also a Wolfe fan.
Links:
* Blending Fantasy and Sci-Fi in Gene Wolfe’s The Shadow of the Torturer at Tor.com
* "The Glassy Burning Floor of Hell"
* Interview at Los Angeles Review of Books
"I returned to Wolfe a few decades later because of a student’s interest in his The Fifth Head of Cerberus and realized that Wolfe (along with the very different J. G. Ballard) had had a deep subterranean impact on me as a developing writer, almost without my knowing. I feel like I’ve learned a tremendous amount from him since, as I’ve systematically gone through and read all of his work."
Q: "What inspired the novella? And where do you draw your inspiration from in general?"
A: "It was inspired partly by Gene Wolfe’s novella The Fifth Head of Cerberus. I think that’s such a deft little novella — all three parts of it, but the first part especially — and is really satisfying to read. I think I began there, with an admiration for that book, and then let it take me somewhere slightly different. Lurking in the background are aspects of the world and character characteristics of my novel Immobility, though it’s set in a somewhat different place."
* Coode Street Podcast Interview
"Gary K. Wolfe spends 10 minutes with Brian Evenson to discuss his relationship to genre, reading catastrophe fiction, the rewards of reading Gene Wolfe and Algernon Blackwood, and his forthcoming collection, The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell."

"cacogen" = "an anti-social person"? Checks out.
