736. Iori Kusano (a.k.a. No “L”s Iori) — Hybrid Heart

Mass surveillance, dystopian industries, and music, oh my! Shaun Duke and Brandon O’Brien are joined by our friend and wicked good author, Iori Kusano, to discuss their new novella, Hybrid Heart! Together, they tackle Japan’s Idol industry, our very real fears (and very current future) of mass surveillance by corporations, and much more!

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!

See you later, navigator!

P.S.: We sadly lost part of the audio for Shaun’s track, which means it’s a shorter episode than normal. We’ve done our best to stitch things together without losing any of Iori’s content. Where necessary, we recorded short bridges to avoid losing content we think matters. Hopefully, this is not too great a distraction!
