We listen to “The Hills Behind Hollywood High” and discuss the story. Originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, April 1983. It was written by Grania Davis and Avram Davidson.

Scott has a new "audio book" being read on Substack. It was written in 1994 and concerned a world where all the political parties agreed on treating animals as badly as human beings and vice versa. And a stupid celebrity thug who takes over the world (about the same time he's bought out by corporate villains.)
