Meat Up, Hulk Out is a podcast by Nikesh Shukla and James Smythe. In it, they will go to somewhere where meat is served and talk about some of the things that have made them angry/intrigued/bemused over the past couple of weeks. Sometimes they will have special guests on the show, as well. You shoul…
Almost a year after our last podcast, James and Nikesh head to Brightlingsea Library for Essex Book Festival. They talk about writing, about books. They invent book maven Paul Cassavettes, explain the problem with Napoleon Dynamite, cry about their Aga ovens and admit to working on books on company time. Sorry we're so busy guys. But this was a good gig. Enjoy.
*Recorded LIVE at Review Bookshop, London* This is a special BONUS episode of Meat Up, Hulk Out. Arrogantly, after two episodes, we feel like we can get away with bonus editions. Well, actually, seeing as this is about our books and not about our interests, we are masking the marketing angle with the word bonus. I should stop talking. Nikesh was in conversation with James at Review Bookshop about The Testimony, The Explorer and The Machine. James read from The Explorer. We talk about genre snobbery, Back to the Future III, an odd Pop Tart James once had, and Nikesh's middle-class dinner parties. We talk about James' writing, about science fiction and about books. Enjoy. Buy some books from Review Bookshop: http://www.reviewbookshop.co.uk/ (Maybe James' books) Follow us on Twitter: @nikeshshukla @jamessmythe
