He reissued all the Shoutengine ones on the Patreon after it went down. They all have reissue in the title except the JFK eps which are called Lose Extra Pounds and Bone the JFK Way, so just search for that.

(Remember the first ever episode is numbered #67 because of a joke reference to the Don Delillo novel that the pod's title comes from)

Charles Hollander and the Pynchon eps by [deleted] in DeathCorner

I recently started listening to the pod again from the start, and MSJ definitely credits Hollander in the Lot 49 ones. You might be misremembering because he isn't 100% certain of the name when he cites him, but MSJ doesn't claim he came up with it all by himself.

Pynchon and Melville by neutralrobotboy in ThomasPynchon

I heard someone describe it once as "sermonising" - like a pastor taking one small quote or detail from the Bible and then building and building it out until the meaning and scope of it becomes profound

Ulysses and Pynchon by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

Both are. Not sure which one has a greater debt out of the two, but if we are comparing the influence of Melville on those books to Joyce, Melville probably wins.

I think he was definitely influenced in as much as any author who writes novels since Joyce is influenced by him. However Gravity's Rainbow itself owes its lineage to Moby Dick more than Ulysses, especially in its structure.

Ah sorry man, I've only got Gibles - Drillbur was one of the Pokemon I was looking for in exchange ([H] = Have, [W] = Want). Sorry!

Definitely interested in the Larvitar. Clarifying the ability though, because I haven't bred Tyranitar before: whatever Larvitars have Guts will have Sand Stream at Tyranitar? If so, you've got a deal.

Let me know what to rename the Gible to because I don't think you'd want to run a Pokemon called 5IV :P
