Writer Ryan Vance on Talking Heads, Fiona Apple, Death Cab for Cutie, Final Fantasy/Owen Pallett, and tUnE-yArDs.

Ryan Vance is a writer, editor, and
general literary busybody with a penchant for speculative fiction and queer
representation. Originally from rural-ish Northern Ireland, he now lives in
Glasgow, Scotland. His work has been published by Friction, Motherboard and
Dark Mountain, he reviews for Gutter Magazine, and he recently co-edited an
anthology of queer Scottish writing, called We Were Always
Here
,
published by 404 Ink.


Ryan and Michael talk about utopian parents, a zest for fantasy, phantasmic
internet friendships, false epiphanies, and how being disillusioned sets you
free—amongst many other things.
