He offers no quarter to the amateurs and fanboys/girls who have eroded critical standards and dummied down discourse by trolling anyone who dares offer a dissenting voice or pans their favorite genre or author. Ten episodes, each guaranteed to offend some segment of the reading or writing world.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16509202/ANGLELOGOGLITCH5_r334cb.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/16509202/ANGLELOGOGLITCH5_r334cb_1200x628.jpg?s=b1d97cae7a7d020c3aa79095ffdfd9b8&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://cliffjburns.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/cliffjburns/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-z2ne2-fbe912?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":10,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-06:00","useDaylightTime":0,"value":-6,"text":"(GMT-06:00) Central America","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":null},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":12,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"cliffjburns","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-z2ne2-fbe912-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/standing-at-an-angle-to-the-universe/id1690866775","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-z2ne2-fbe912?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7rMFQzATZcd7Ewfpt116wg","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/30c0652c-fd71-4cbf-a42f-90cfde61aac1","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
