Welcome to We Are the Deluge, a spoiler-free chapter-by-chapter podcast about the climate change novel The Deluge by Stephen Markley. For each chapter, we’ll be analyzing major themes, examining the politics of the chapter, suggesting pop culture accompaniments, tracking characters, shouting out the comedy in this dystopian (?) novel, and pitching punny episode titles.
The catch? each of the six POV characters gets a specialized format remixing those core elements based on their role and the style of those chapters. Is this an overly elaborate, galaxy-brain podcast conceit? Yes. Do you want to hear a Jackie pitch deck and Shane manifesto and Ashir report and so on? Also yes.
