Podcast
The Animal Riot Podcast is a "literary" podcast that invites artists, entrepreneurs, and diverse thinkers to express their belletristic opinions on everything from Borges to bureaucracy. Though literary at its locus, the Animal Riot Podcast isn’t afraid to take on the world at large, including prison reform, Deafness, and the commercial merits of, yes, the Insane Clown Posse. So join us as we rise to self-imposed drinking challenges and say things as we see them – subscribe, review & forever prosper.
