A rag-tag team of B-list superfriends populate Durham author and podcaster Mur Lafferty’s new book, “Playing for Keeps” (Swarm Press/2008). Keepsie can’t be stolen from; Peter can find out your secrets by sniffing you; Patricia can sober you up with a wave of her hand; Michelle can’t drop a loaded bar tray; and Jason has total control over…elevators. But the friends soon discover their powers are more useful than they thought. Mur Lafferty joins guest host Eric Hodge to discuss her novel, our cultural obsession with superheroes, and her extraordinary success as a podiobook publisher.
