Side Quest: Solkat Strut
from Whiskey with Witcher · host Tim Beedle, Valerie Petrarca, Sean Farina
This week, we’re side questing into the world of It’s Not a Cult, the new novel written by our favorite on-screen bard, Joey Batey. Since books are better with booze, the whiskey flows generously as we unpack everything the novel has to say about obsessive fandom, mob behavior, found families, experiencing life through screens and ice lollies (though we may need your help with that last one). We also tackle the tough, yet impossible to ignore questions: How much of this book is meant to be reflective of Joey’s life? What’s up with the ending? And why the heck isn’t this thing available in the United States? Don’t look for clear answers…or anything clear, really. But we do reveal the one thing the ridiculously multi-talented Joey Batey can’t yet do. So take that, Bard!
