In our series finale, Daniel and Linzi remember the good (and the bad) of this season's books: Stalker From the Stars, The Chiffon Scarf, Buddies, The Penetrator: The Target is H, and Some Sort of Spell. We are joined by your votes from the People's Pulpies survey, as well as call-in votes from Amber, Courtney of The Cult of Domesticity, and Jessie of Alphabet Flight.
Expect at least one more episode this year, announcing updates on Linzi's (my) new project. For now, I will keep our Twitter and Instagram feeds going in case you want to say hi (and, selfishly, because that's where I can hang with my podfriends).
Words really cannot express how much you have meant to us. Instead, we tip our hats and raise our not-so-pulpy glasses to you, dear listener, for your support.

From the back cover:
She didn't ask to be rescued.
Beatrice's half sister had done a lot of crazy things, but inviting Elliot Chalmers to temporarily share their home while his was being renovated--that was the limit!
Everyone knew that Beatrice and Elliott had never seen eye to eye over her dedication to her orphaned siblings. He'd even nicknamed her "Cinders."
Well, handsome prince or no, she hadn't invited him to interfere. And although silently grateful for the added household discipline, Beatrice drew the line where Elliott seemed most intent on crossing--her personal life!
--
Some relevant characters:
- Beatrice Bellaire: Raised her siblings after they were orphaned. Cooks, cleans, and has endemic breasts that knock over bystanders. Has been body-shamed her whole life and has the self-esteem to prove it. Salmon lack nipples because she has all of them.
- Elliot Chalmers: under 6'. Has GIANT hands. Celebrates his birthday on days that aren't his birthday. His nanny still packs him sandwiches.
- Lucilla: Beatrice and Elliot's half-sister involved with a TV producer named Horrocks. Is so terrible it's a mystery why anyone talks to her.
- Lucia: The one in Italy.

In this episode, Linzi recaps the first third of Some Sort of Spell by Frances Roding. In this episode, we meet the Bellaire family and our protagonist Beatrice. We also learn about salmon moose, what Londoners use as weapons, and the most unnerving thing one can do after you try to scratch their eyes out.

From the back cover:
MARK HARDIN...The Penetrator. He'd learned how in Vietnam. Infiltrate the enemy's position, determine the plan of action and then strike swiftly, taking out as many key men as possible, wreaking destruction, leaving chaos in your wake.
Now he was in Los Angeles, engaged in a new, far more sinister war. But he was fully prepared and totally committed, and bound by no rules but his own.
He is tall and slim, reflecting his unique Indian-Welsh background. His driver's license indicates his age is twenty-eight. If he seems a bit grim, it is for good reason.
He was orphaned at four, when his parents and three brothers and sisters were killed in an automobile crash. Since then he's been mistreated, brutalized by life, injured in games (football), and wounded in combat. But he's survived. Mark Hardin is tough, a survivor. And an expert. Marksmanship, karate, aikido, and even the crossbow, are part of his arsenal.
He is a new breed of warrior--without uniform, without rank--dedicated to the American way of life, and pledged to fight anyone who seeks to destroy it. On either side of the law. That's why he's in Los Angeles. Just the beginning of a long and lonely series of brushfire wars.
--
Some relevant characters:
- Mark Hardin: 28 year-old Vietnam vet going through a mid-life crisis. Has very few emotions. On a mission to kill at least 100 people by the end of the book to avenge his friend, Donna Morgan. Skills range from makeup to grenade throwing.
- Donna Morgan: a USC anthropologist who could tell your genetic ancestry just by looking. RIP.
- Professor Haskins: Owner of the Stronghold. Donna's uncle.
- David Red Eagle: "Old West" medicine man, trains Mark to be stealthy.
- Don Pietro Scarelli: runs a mafia crime ring and takes a lot of phonecalls. Pretty angry at current events and the man behind them (the penetrator).
- His Lordship: A mysterious person on the other end of Don's speakerphone. Is not Bosley.
- Senator Martyn Corvus: On a committee against organized crime, headed to California to figure out what's going on with all this dang heroin.
- Officer Kelly Patterson: Not just a cop. A massively racist Irish cop.

Me and My Shadow
All my life I've been known as "Dinah Feeney--The Kind One." You know, the type of person who can never say no to anything: the neighborhood hand-me-downs, my old dog Rollo, or the dumb poodle hat my Aunt Maude knit for me. Let's face it, I'm a sucker. So when my parents said I could go to Camp Miniwawa for two weeks, I decided it was time to say good-bye to the old, nice, and boring me and become a member of the "in crowd" for the first time in my life.
At first, camp was great. Two of the most popular girls became my friends. But then Fern Wadley happened. The grossest person I had ever met decided I was going to be her best buddy. How could I possibly be friendly with someone who picked her teeth, walked around with lettuce stuck to her face, and wouldn't leave me alone f or a second?
I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I had to get rid of Fern! My vacation, my new friends, and "Dinah Feeney--The Popular One," were all at stake.
--
Some relevant characters:
- Dinah Feeney: The kind one? Pushed her own self-respect off the boat last episode. EXCELLENT on leafy brush.
- Fern Wadley: Weird and disliked, but not a snitch! Has a beaver and a secret letter.
- Marilyn Powers: Generally over everything. Is as goth as a 13 year-old girl at a summer camp in 1985 can get. Funnier than Wanda.
- Cass Barnhill: Normally too cool to scream and yell but will, especially if pushed. Prettier than Wanda.
- Crystal Ball: The fifth occupant of the girls' cabin at Camp Miniwawa.
- Wanda: Dinah's friend from home. Looks like Howard Casell (unfortunately).

Some relevant characters:
- Dinah Feeney: The kind one? Desperately trying to dump Fern from the group.
- Fern Wadley: fərn. Proper Noun. 1) More boring than someone's uncle's mole. 2) A dullard. 3) the Cream of Wheat of people. 4) A celebrity?
- Marilyn Powers: She's come to the camp 6 years now and knows all the ins, outs, and lame counselor tricks. Generally over everything. Is as goth as a 13 year-old girl at a summer camp in 1985 can get. Brings an assortment of fur to camp.
- Cass Barnhill: Normally too cool to scream and yell but will, especially if pushed.
- Crystal Ball: The fifth occupant of the girls' cabin at Camp Miniwawa. Missing during this entire third. (Probably tying up other campers to trees and leaving them for dead.)
- Wanda: Dinah's friend from home. Looks like Howard Casell (unfortunately).

The JR Sound Design. "80s Revival," 2017, CC.
4.5 stars. Mixing together oral tradition and individual introspection, this podcast features three friends who each read one-third of a book and then explain it to the other two. Books from decades ago get a kind of reboot over three episodes. So far, while they add their own flair to the stories, they treat books (and authors) with respect by giving backstory and relevant context. While the novel itself is THE core component, the hosts each have a different storytelling style, prioritizing things like humor, radio dramatization, and fascinating research. You can tell they are friends with different but, luckily for the listener, overlapping interests. The level of banter is currently PERFECT. It's incredibly annoying and alienating when podcasters veer too off-topic and caught up in their own jokes. This podcast features relevant and funny commentary as the story unfolds. I checked out their instagram account and recommend following it for historical references (again, really thorough research) for context and visualization. It really adds to the story. I clicked through their Twitter account....for now at least, instagram seems the way to go if you're interested in getting the "full" experience. Twitter seems completely unnecessary. It does not add to the podcast material. The Facebook link on their website doesn't work, so that also needs to be addressed. While ACCEPTABLE, the audio quality is inconsistent and, at one point, one of the female hosts was only in my left ear. Dear podcasters: you WILL lose listeners if you can't properly edit and mix the audio. Podcasts are meant to be heard. If the audio is lacking, it will degrade the experience no matter how great the content. To improve, they need to first improve their audio engineering. Then, if they want to really excel, they need to ensure a steady and consistent social media presence. Overall though, this podcast has content with great potential. I hope it sticks around for a long time, I'd love to see how it develops.
