Bulbous Salutations Versus Google Translations - Literary Loitering 129 59:03

So 2020 is over, but thanks to some cunning and stealthy arrangements our cultural anarchists hid away a couple of episodes. This time around we have tales of a secret but obvious message left by a librarian, an art dealer’s racist selfies, a scholar who lied about their race, a painter’s untrue memoirs, a fake Rembrandt painting that isn’t fake and all sorts of other stuff. We also have a quiz about badly translated quotes. If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

The cultural anarchists venture forth across pandemic-riddled wastelands in their quest to find something good to read, and along the way they find strange tidings that include tales of someone doing something nice on Twitter, Logjam Day, re-issuing books under their author’s original pen-names, stage performances on Zoom, lectures from bubble-blowing sharks and more.

Cultural anarchy is the order of the day as the Literary Loitering gang sashay back into the foreground with a pocket full of news and other oddities. On this episode we've got dead language confusion involving the tag line of Sean Hannity's new book, John Boyne's surprising connection to The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, publishing contracts for four year-old poets, controversy about Flashing Swords that doesn't involve trench coats (maybe), ironically accidental art destruction and more. We also have the return of our quiz about badly translated movie titles. If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

Meat Safes And The Dictionary Sausage - Literary Loitering 126 59:19

These are strange times we're living in, which is why it's good to carry a stick as part of your EDC. A good stick is a very useful object as it can be used as a walking aid, for fishing, thrashing, emergency kindling, and in the case of our resident cultural anarchists, poking fun at the world (while avoiding surprise bears). This week we discover that Ready Player One is somehow getting a sequel (we're not sure how that's going to work either). In other more important news, there's a new collection of Terry Pratchett short stories due for publication, The Great Gatsby is now in the public domain (which means all of that fanfiction can now be published), Donald Trump Jr. has apparently written another book (we still haven't discovered why he was fired the first time), someone is going around collecting mountweazels, and all sorts of other stuff. We also have another of our semi-regular quizzes, and this time it's all about mondegreens (misheard lyrics).

It’s time for another dose of the cultural anarchy that cures all ailments (medically proven by travelling salesmen in the Old West). In the news this week are Waterstone’s “controversial” idea about displaying books, why you shouldn’t microwave books, yet another tell-all book about Donald Trump, things that make you go … really?!, and other tales from the apocalypso (other tropical shirt-wearing armageddons also probably exist somewhere). Oh, and GRR Martin is typing … allegedly. After all that it’s the return of our book title Blankety Blank so get ready for some odd questions and even odder answers.

Literary Loitering returns for another round-up of interesting things that have happened in cultured world, and kicking things off is yet another Twitter gaff. Oh Twitter. How you amuse us. After that it’s the good news that poet Michael Rosen was finally released from hospital after suffering from Covid-19, an article by Sam Mendes about practical ways to maintain theatres and support actors during times of lock-down, Waterstone’s strange yet somehow logical idea to quarantine books if any customer touches them, changes to the publishing schedule due to the lock-down, dogs reviewing books, and the plagiarism controversy surrounding Agatha Christie. After that it’s time for another quiz, and this time Graham’s got some rather odd book covers for classic novels.

It’s time for another spin on the news wheel of cultural anarchy so round-and-around-and-around we go, and where it stops first is … penguins visiting and art gallery. Looks like we have a winner! After that it’s more usual fare (the word usual is used very loosely), children’s books by children, children’s books by James Patterson, a Woody Allen film taking the number one spot at the global box office, MP Michael Gove’s questionable bookshelf, republished Johnson fiction (this time it’s Dad), real-life-yet-still-fictional Terry Mindhunter, and what may be an early entry (pardon the fully intended pun), into the Bad Sex Awards. We also have a quiz about translations of English words into other languages, and vice versa.

We’re back once again with those renegade masters of cultural anarchy, and this week we make our usual pit-stop to find out what everyone’s been reading before diving straight into some news … about VAT. It’s actually more interesting than you think. Honest! After that we have some things about spying on the bookshelves of politicians, some unsurprising additions to the American Library Associations list of “most challenged” books, the banning of some very surprising books by an Alaskan school board, the top three biggest-selling authors in America for 2019 and more. Then it’s time for our now seemingly regular quiz, and this week Producer Rob has a Blankety Blank about strange book titles.

Weird things happen when you're locked up, and as usual it's up to Literary Loitering to ... poke gentle fun with a big stick ... at the books and arts world. So what did our stay-at-home cultural anarchists discover before being bamboozled by a barrage of obsolete words? Well, aside from the French authors Leïla Slimani and Marie Darrieussecq (try spelling that in the dark), being called elitist and compared to Marie Antoinette, there are radio plays replacing theatre productions, online all-star cast recitations of The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, the rise of quarantine book clubs, an internet nazi invasion of an Archers podcast's online meet up, abject plagiarism making the Booker long list, letters from Big Papa Hemingway and more.

These are strange times that we live in, but during these days of pandemic, social distancing and lockdowns, it's nice to find that the world of culture is still just as strange as it ever was. This week the gang are bamboozled by a barrage of old words, but before that things like publishing a chapter per day on Vogue's website, book fairies, dial-a-miracle, digital rectum removal in musicals (one musical that is, not all of them), and all sorts of other stuff get put under the microscope of cultural anarchy.

After a short hiatus (for several reasons which include an attempted podcast coup-de-tat across The Geek Show), the cultural anarchists are back where they belong. Where that is remains a mystery. Anyway, this time we’ve got the long-awaited continuation of Game of Thrones-watch featuring Grr Martin and flying dinosaurs. In other news, the 1981 novel The Eyes Of Darkness by Dean Koontz apparently predicted the outbreak of the Corona virus pandemic (it didn’t), writing book reviews means you can’t be on a jury (according to Harvey Weinstein), a creepy group of pick-up “artists” are using a bookshop in Australia to practice “skills”, Barnes & Noble controversially celebrate Black History Month and more.

It’s Takeover week here on The Geek Show Network, and since we were so rudely shoved out of our usual seat by the boys from Cinema Eclectica we decided to run riot over the crazy paved paths of Literary Loitering. So how does one cram superheroes into art and literature, or literary characters into comics? That’s what we’re here to find out … After that it’s time for our slice of comic-book goodness which this week include Symbiote Spider-man, Jack Staff by Paul Grist, and the audio-book Thor: Metal Gods from Serial Box.

Stupid Sexy Orwell - Literary Loitering 117 57:12

After gathering once more in their secret hideout above a cafe on a high street in a small town that may or may not be near you (it’s not), the cultural anarchists are shocked to discover that their arch-nemesis (temporarily, and they haven’t told him yet as they’re still deciding if he’s the right one for them. A nemesis is for life, not just for entertainment), Ed Miliband has decided to start his own podcast about books. After that it’s time for something more fun and wholesome(?), and what could be more entertaining than some newly revealed correspondence from the archives of George Orwell. The wholesomeness arrives in the form of an antiquarian bookshop that becomes popular after a tweet, and an underrated book that gains much deserved praise and publicity. Normal service does resume when we discuss a rather amazing gaff by the Romance Writers of America, and we end with a quiz about newspaper corrections.

It's 2020, and there may be many, many, many useful and constructive ways to start the new decade ... Or you can join our resident cultural anarchists for a spot of chaotic fun. It's your choice but given that we've got a packed show that includes art bananas getting eaten, the rise of the "response novel", and our reviews of our Secret Santa presents from Christmas (the Usborne World Of The Unknown: Ghosts, Ayoade On Top by Richard Ayoade, The Land Of The Green Man by Carolyne Larrington and What I Lick Before Your Face ... And Other Haikus By Dogs by Jamie Coleman). We also have a "quiz" about new age ... sayings ... that ends up in a head-on clash between Sarah and and internet phrase generator.

Not only is it the most wonderful time of the year, it’s also our last episode of 2019, and what better way to sign off for the year than our annual look at the Literary Review’s Bad Sex In Fiction Awards! As it traditional for us now, we hand over proceedings to our resident storyteller Andrew who reads out choice quotes from the books nominated for the award, while the rest of us fancy-prance into amusement, bemusement, shock, horror, and a general feeling of “what the f…?”. After that it’s time for our annual Secret Santa, where we give each other a book that we have chosen for them to read and cover on our first show back. And with that, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! We’ll see you all again in January of 2020.
