Ubik 06: Pondering Kafkaesque Dimensions


Welcome back to PKD, the show where Brian and Steven dive into the weird world and weirder mind of Phillip K. Dick! In this episode, we wrap up Ubik and talk about some of the cool, mind-bending stuff it makes you think about. Come back next week for the first two chapters of Man in the High Castle!

Ubik 04: Perception Kaleidoscope Dimension


Welcome back to PKD, the show where Brian and Steven dive into the weird world and weirder mind of Phillip K. Dick! In this episode, things are getting super weird. Are they dead? Is everyone dead? Come back next week for chapters 11, 12, and 13!

Note: I’m giving myself a pass for being less coherent than usual. I didn’t check until after recording, but I had a fever of 103. This feels appropriately disorienting given how confused we’re all supposed to be.
Also, my internet went out about 12 minutes in and I apparently didn’t get back on the right mic for the second recording – my bad, folks. But through the foresight of redundant recordings, I was able to switch back to the not-shitty mic after a couple of minutes.

Ubik 03: Phantasmal Kinetics Discussion


Welcome back to PKD, the show where Brian and Steven dive into the weird world and weirder mind of Phillip K. Dick! In this episode, the crew gets to the moon and shit goes sideways right away. Come back next week for chapters 8, 9, and 10!

Ubik 02: Big (PK) Dick Energy


Welcome back to PKD, the show where Brian and Steven dive into the weird world and weirder mind of Phillip K. Dick! In this episode we assemble the crew with chapters 3, 4, and 5. Next week we’ll see what this rag-tag group of meta humans gets up to in chapters 6 and 7!
