Happy Half Hour (6/1/26)

Today, we’re chatting about a failing demon’s search for a new host in post-dictatorship Santo Domingo; a young woman who signs up to be the world’s first in-house corporate surrogate, only to get caught up in a social experiment of another kind; and a pair of Oxford University undergraduates who are recruited as the Crown’s newest undercover operatives.
