Brian Evenson should need no introduction on this podcast. Fresh off his appearance as a guest of honor at the 2026 Philip K. Dick Festival, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Last Days, Immobility, and much more has been on the podcast several times. I consider him to be the best living writer of the short form.

So it was exciting for those of us at the PKD Festival that Brian published a novella for Pink Beam Press that debuted at the fest. Glitch is about 90 pages of pure SF genius. One of the best reads I have consumed this year. So in this conversation we talk PKD fest, Pink Beam press and then we go full spoilers into the writing, themes, and construction of this new novella from a master.
