Joshua Chaplinsky wrote a short story about the flying rod technological phenomenon called “The Protopterygote Tapes” and I published it in my new anthology, LOST CONTACT. On today's episode of GHOULISH, we got together to discuss flying rods, why the internet killed conspiracy theories, and why sometimes you shouldn't give up just because an editor rejects your story (seriously, do not mimic what Josh talks about doing in this episode).
