Pussy so good it reduces rugged explorers to tamed livestock. Aliens so old they don't even remember how their technology works. A cosmos so vast even millennials can afford a home. Join us as we discuss PKD's condemnation the 'low aesthetic plateau' of mankind via a sci-fi reincarnation of Circe.

The Crawlers!

Does anyone read these? I stress over which parts of the episode to highlight, but it feels entirely possible that no one ever even notices or cares. Is it possible that these descriptions are.... tears in the rain?

If you care about the short summary of the podcast episodes, email us at welovedickpodcast@gmail.com  and tell me in detail why you're such a sicko.
