With Jay S. Bell and Welcome to Cottonmouth

Welcome to Cottonmouth, the town of misfit spies.

What does the US government do with spies and special operators when they pass their expiration date? They retire them to a small town deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, where they’re certain to cause no trouble.

A collection of broken spies, former double agents, and retired operators lives in secrecy, under the watchful eye of the government in the small, deep-woods town of Cottonmouth, Texas.

Jay S. Bell joins the show to talk about:

  • The Origin of Welcome to Cottonmouth
  • Writing an ensemble of spies
  • Jay’s pulp fiction favorites
  • Playing with genres
  • And much more!
