Cussler Hustlers
Two strangers, American and Canadian, go through EVERY Clive Cussler novel, from a (hopefully) modern progressive viewpoint. They also get off on tangents and talk about BETTER books, but there’s so much to love with these nerdy macho time capsules.

Fiddle-dee-dee, that will require a public apology! Just a brief update on the state of Cussler Hustlers, temporary delays, future plans and new projects from your FAVORITE hosts (and Topper!) This one is longer than sixty seconds, so we hope it will tide you over until our pre-Christmas Cyclops Spectacular. Hail Krampus!

It's the Communist Torture Spectacular this week! EVERYONE gets tortured... except Dirk Pitt, who merely engages in multiple battles of wit (some of which leave him urinating fun rainbow colors, but that's neither here nor there). He also goes for a healthy, bracing constitutional to take in the crisp sea air. Really, this might be his best vacation ever. This episode was brought to you by REPAER.-

Today, Nancy and Topper penetrate your defences with our fat observations on Clive Cussler's Cyclops! The action is ramping up on three fronts: a Cuban military outpost, a secretive Washington cabal of science billionaires, and THE MOOOOOON! We spend a truly unfortunate amount of time talking about television through the ages, the proper way to carry your Man Bride across the threshold, and the history of [redacted]. We're also still blissfully in the episodes recorded BEFORE the election, so if you need some escapism, Sandecker also screams at the President! -

We here at Cussler Hustler Enterprises would like to apologize for the poor taste exhibited in this section of the book, where a hurricane gains unprecedented speed and power in the middle of the Caribbean. Those responsible for misusing the weather weapons have been sacked. In the meantime, please enjoy this episode where we laugh at dangly body parts, admire Secret Agent Santa Claus, and wonder where all the tarmac naps have gone. -

Act One of Cyclops is... talking. And meetings. And discussions. And conversations. And research. And exposition. And-... well, let's just say not a lot HAPPENS. But don't worry, this is actually a good thing! Clive is front-loading the boring stuff, and keeping it fairly swift and breezy, because the action is about to get bonkers. Secret Agent Santa takes on the Moon Men. Russia loses their own Moon Men. Cuba seems to have acquired some Ready To Eat Moon Men. Remember when America was excited about the moon? Cussler Hustlers Remembers!

NEW SEASON! New shenanigans! New treasure! New intrigue! When the book opened with a zeppelin disaster, both Nancy and Topper regressed to their childhoods and got lost in the inflatable nostalgia. There's a billionaire colony on the moon, a super-sized Russian moon lander, a bunch of frozen mystery corpses, and a sunken coal ship that might have the key to all of it. Drunk morticians, autism-coded detectives, and a formerly-brainwashed President are sure to make this a caper to remember!

It's a beach episode! Nancy and Topper kick back and revisit the six books that have brought us to the dizzying heights of podcast greatness: Mediterranean Caper, Iceberg!, Raise the Titanic!, Vixen-03, Night Probe!, and Pacific Vortex. We get a couple things wrong, we're shocked by what DOES stick around a year or more later, and we give everything an objective scientific rating that will no doubt stand the test of time and be referenced in many a scientific journal. ALSO, an important announcement at the start: for various creative and mental health reasons, we will be reverting to an every-two-week schedule. This will give me the time and space to put more effort into the episodes, as well as pursue other creative endeavors. We pass the time savings on to YOU!

WE MADE IT! In spite of all our end-of-summer shenanigans, doctor-prescribed drug binges and wildfires, we managed to complete our super-sized finale to Deep Six! Dirk gets a lot of civilians killed on what is still probably the best day of their life. Giordino reminds us why he isn't bothered by Dirk's homicidal urges. Loren reminds us that you are obligated to have sex with whoever rescues you. Min Koryo reminds us of why you need to keep behind the safety rail. And Sal Cashio reminds us... uhm... honestly, I have no idea, but I'm gonna miss him. #RIPElevatorJoe

THE RESISTANCE has come together! THE RESISTANCE is composed of... uhm... all the top elites in Washington, and the NUMA paramilitary forces led by Dirk Pitt. Bougainville continues to solve all of their problems by blowing it up in the most attention-grabbing way possible. The Russians finally reveal themselves to perhaps not be the good guys. Guantanamo Bay rescues some drowning orphans. I'm not sure this book could get more 80s.

Every train has gone off every rail in this episode of Deep Six! The whole 'missing President' scandal has been uncovered by the press, but fortunately the President is back! Unfortunately, the President is being remote controlled and promises to completely disarm the country. Loren finds herself the extra special guest of some hired goons, and a completely different ship full of gold explodes. Dirk turns Sal Cashio into an unguided missile and promises to leap into heroic action just as soon as he finishes his drink. How many moving parts are we going to have at the climax of this thing?!
