Hello, PKD fans. We're back with the next straight novel, Puttering About in a Small Land, written early in PKD's career but published after his death. This is an interesting take on an extramarital affair. We are joined by PKD collector and scholar Frank Hollander to discuss this odd semi-autobiographical effort. Plus: Relatively long. Paul Giamatti. And Swimming with Sharks. –LJT

Hello PKD fans. We finally have a new book episode up for you. Enjoy.

A land deal goes south, and someone has to take the fall. Revenge is the name of the game in this cat-and-cat thriller set in a small coastal town in Northern California. Who will win the neighborhood, their pride, and possibly even the water company in this battle of wits—even more importantly—what do three Di*****ds think of all this? Plus: Wackadooey. Maybe it's because I'm simple. And keep it Barney. –LJT David Agranoff D. Harlan Wilson

We have dedicated this episode to the memory of Phil's good friend and fellow writer, Radell Faraday Nelson, 1931-2022. R.I.P.

Greetings, PKD fans. David Gill joins the usual Di*****ds to discuss PKD's religious mystery novel VALIS. Horselover Fat is on a quest to find out why a pink laser beam of pure knowledge entered his brain one day and now he has strange visions and preternatural cognition of events around him. Is Horselover a genius or a madman? Has his Rhipidon Society really found the trail to the messiah? We attempt to figure it all out. Plus: Langhorne visits a chocolate factory. G***d Kid. And navel-gazing with Sigmund Freud. –LJT

Hello Di*****ds. We have a new interview up. David chats with Walter Nelson on the legacy of his recently passed father, Ray Nelson, and how growing up the son of a famous author in the Berkeley scene was different than the typical American upbringing. Including what it was like having PKD as a babysitter. Unfortunately, this interview is a bittersweet one, as Ray Nelson recently passed away at the age of 91. –LJT

David and Anthony have hinted at this project for years on the show. It could really use the support! Here is bonus podcast (David's Postcards feed) for Nightmare City release week. Hosted by Desmond Reddick and Grant Wamack who both blurbed the book. So they lead this conversation with Anthony Trevino and David Agranoff. They talk about their writing process, the story, making strong characters, and building mythology at the heart of the novel. It was a fun spoiler-free discussion. Video via Youtube.

‎Show Postcards from a Dying World, Ep Bonus Nightmare City novel preview! My new novel (written w/Anthony Trevino) out now! - 1 Dec 2022

They have hinted at as long as there has been a DHP but 2/3 of the hosts wrote a novel together! Nightmare City by David Agranoff and Anthony Trevino is out now! If you have ever listened to us screamed let's see you do better smarty pants, now is your chance to find out if they did!

No wait, no pre-order, order it today. “Nightmare City combines police procedural, conspiracy thriller, science fiction, and horror into a tightly plotted page-turner. More importantly, it creates a distinctive world in genre fiction.” – Desmond Reddick host of the Dread Media podcast

“Agranoff and Trevino have concocted an alternate version of Seattle you’ll be begging to visit, but only from the safety of the printed page. This is a place where no one who dwells there is particularly affable, yet you’ll still want to get to know them intimately. If you’re fiending for some bizarre noir with flourishes of horror and science fiction, take a cautious step into the Nightmare City limits.” – Chad Stroup author of Secrets of the Weird

"A terrifying intersection of climate-based horror and science fiction set in a futuristic Seattle full of body modification, corruption, missing kids, and dreams. Like a lost episode of Black Mirror meets True Detective. Trevino and Agranoff are a dope duo who have cooked up something unnerving yet special with Nightmare City."--Grant Wamack, author of God's Leftovers

After being nationally humiliated and earning himself a death sentence from every gangster in Seattle, FBI agent Nate Washington is ready to call it quits. His days are spent courting a whiskey bottle and reliving the past. That is until a series of child kidnappings in the local projects drag hi...

Hello, we are very happy to be back with a new episode for you.

Richard Linklater's 2006 adaptation of A Scanner Darkly is considered by many to be the ultimate adaption of a Philip K. Dick novel. But is it perfect? And is it really faithful to the source material? What would PKD himself think of it? The Di*****ds attempt to answer these questions and more. Plus: Snooty film guy ascot. Sir Bro. And the balls to put a talking dog in it. –LJT with David Agranoff & Anthony Trevino
