In Decomposing Worm, Matias and Clarence take a higher level approach to analysis of Wildbow’s original wonderful web serial. After dividing Worm into six 300,000 word chunks, each week four-time Worm veteran Matias and literary extraordinaire Clarence cover one of Worm’s ‘books’, alternating between Close Reading and Essay episodes. Because a single hundred hour Worm analysis podcast wasn’t enough.
