Here it is: the author photo of Truman Capote that prompted more discussion than the contents of the book it was printed on.

I don't think the final example in the article really belongs.

Are y'all ready for a Deep Dive into the life of Truman Capote? I read an entire, enormous book about this petty man-child so you don't have to! Episode 2 drops at midnight.

According to a report out today, 250 million Americans are still scrambling to find someone to appear on their podcasts this week, as the guests they would normally book either just appeared on last week’s episode or are too busy hosting their own shows. “I’ve been trying to book my brother-in-law, who occasionally watches Mad Men and could probably fill some time talking about that, but he just called and said he has to guest-host his buddy’s podcast,” said Robert Healy, host of The TV Robcast and one of the quarter billion podcasters nationwide who cannot secure a guest with whom to engage in 45 minutes of inane banter about politics, food, stand-up comedy, or rock music.

L'orangerie

I tried to find photos of an orangery in Rhode Island, but I kept getting pictures of Rhode Island Red chickens. The internet, always trying to show me cocks.

Looking for more Mary MacLane? Check out the Mary MacLane project and the biography Mary MacLane: Herself by Michael R. Brown. He has a Tumblr page but it hasn't been updated since 2019. @fuguewriter, if you're still here, I'd love to know if you've read Plain Bad Heroines and what you think of it!

Can't find The Story of Mary MacLane at your local library? The Internet Archive has it online for free!

i love the implication behind the blair witch project (1999) that someone found the filmstock that was the last earthly remnants of three college film students and thought you know what would really honor these people? if we edited this record of their madness and gruesome demise up real nice and sent it to film festivals

We are frankly shocked that this weird, niche podcast with only 1 episode and no marketing has already been downloaded 21 times in FOUR countries! I would love to know: how did you find us?

The above image was the author photo for The Story of Mary MacLane (or, I Await the Devil's Coming). In the entry dated March 22, she writes:

In the front of my shirt-waist there are nine cambric handkerchiefs cun ningly distributed. My figure is very pretty, to be sure, but not so well de veloped as it will be in five years — if I live so long. And so I help it out materially with nine cambric handker chiefs. You can see by my picture that my waist curves gracefully out. Only it is not all flesh — some of it is handkerchief. It amuses me to do this. It is one of my petty vanities.

The familiar one. #marymaclane

I wanted to have this ready by the time Episode 1 was released, but I was out of ice cream! Here it is: the Mary MacLane highball. This is not the original recipe, which has been lost to history, but a recreation based on a reference that listed it with or without ice cream and an hour or two researching early-20th-century cocktails.

Ingredients

Vanilla ice cream

Whisky, preferably from McLane's home state of Montana (I recommend Neversweat Bourbon)

Orange bitters

Ginger beer

Maraschino cherries

Directions

Start with a pint glass, or you'll get sticky foam everywhere!

Put a large scoop of ice cream in the glass (or a lot of ice, if you're not using ice cream).

Pour in a shot of whisky and several dashes of bitters.

Slowly pour in half a can of ginger beer.

Top with two cherries and a drizzle of cherry syrup.
