This week’s episode is sponsored by Herman Hunter’s The Revenant & the Tomb
One, an old and seasoned guide who knows the way to a tomb where riches are rumored to exist. A place somewhere on the fabled mountain called the Horn of Torgiv, in a region notorious for evil things and dark deeds.
The other is a mysterious young man named Halsedric, who seeks something other than wealth. What he seeks is something old, dark, and diabolical.
What waits in the dark depths of the tomb? And will it lead to their ruin?
Journey to the Horn of Torgiv and discover the dark secret hidden beneath the gray stone of the mountain.

Truly excellent episode of the DoJo! Larry starts with a Bradbury quote from Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury’s best answer to Censorship is found in his short story USHER II (collected) in THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES.
YouTube has a couple of great Leonard Nimoy readings of this story. This short is among Bradbury’s finest.
Whol told you you could say that, citizen?
LARRY SAID TRIGGER! LARRY SAID TRIGGER! *vapors* *swoon*
But was it a crisp trigger, a spongy trigger, or the weirdest double action you’ve ever used trigger?
“CENSORSHIP IS $#!*”
I see what you did there.
Dang it. I don’t want to step into the Bog of Eternal Stench that is social media, but you guys keep talking up the benefits of the Facebook group…
Some people really really should not go on Facebook. It’s like alcoholism. It’s not shameful if you need to go cold turkey.
Some of us need a 12 step program.
Let me guess. Heinrich is Otto Skorzeny?
I knew you wouldn’t think of the children.
All excellent points… As usual, another home run of a podcast!
you’re such a hypocrite Larry
and a shadow-banning coward
Mew mew mew. Larry won’t let a scumbag hack grifter sociopath spam his annoying bullshit on Larry’s personal fan page. He’s so MEAN.
Are you too fucking stupid to understand what censorship actually means, or are you another of JDA’s many sock puppets just playing stupid? It’s hard to tell with you idiots.
Sarah thinks it’s Clamps.
Oh, it’s that fucking lunatic! 😀
For those of you just joining us, Clamps is a creepy pervert weirdo who likes to stalk Asian women across the internet. By “censorship” he means that every writer who has to deal with him ends up banning 30 of his fake accounts because he’s a fucking psycho. And that’s not just our opinion, that’s the opinion of the state he resides in where legally he’s not supposed to access the internet without supervision.
He’s persistent, I’ll give him that.
More like “tries to infest any website on writing or publishing that isn’t left of center.” Guy tried to play his leftist troll games under an assumed name on The Passive Voice a few years back. Unfortunately for him, he was stupid enough to link his LiveJournal to his username.
Needless to say, he didn’t last long.
It’s not persistence- it’s mental illness.
Oh, it is you again, Clamps.
And there’s no “shadow” about your dozen of bannings, you fucking dipshit. They’re just bans. 😀
Fenris, The guys at Omaha beach had nothing on your stunning display of bravery.
I loved the quote from Hinkley. I had a literal LOL moment when Larry told it.
Instead of asinine may I suggest behindeight?
