In this episode, the Spoilers can't stop gushing about Eloghosa Osunde's new novel, VAGABONDS!

In reading this novel the Spoilers realized an important truth: the marginalized are the majority, and when the revolution comes, when the end times arrive -- in is the vagabonds who are gonna party together in love! Check out our emotional show on this unforgettable novel.
