On Air Book Fair

Buh buh baaah DUN DON bah boohhhhaaahh, that's the dramatic orchestral theme to our end-of-year analytical tournament. Did you listen to the last year of our podcast and want our half-remembered perspectives on each book? Listen up. Did you not listen to any of this podcast and want a quick recap of the books we read and some analysis months after the fact? Listen up. Do you not care about this podcast? Why not listen to this episode first, it won't mean anything anyway. Who cares? Listen up. Coming in Year 3 of On Air Book Fair, we'll start reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, inspiration to the much more well-known Studio Ghibli movie but I swear to Ellimist you should read the book.

Done with this mice crap. That's enough of this dang book. They do a slave revolt and Mattimeo doesn't learn shit about your social responsibility, or humility, or noble chivalry. He just doesn't learn anything. Anyway, next episode is our Year 2 Wrap-up where we do tournament-style ranking to decide which of Tracy Deonn's two books in the Legendborn series we like better. Next time, we may be reading Howl's Moving Castle! Or maybe not Jay's getting super busy with his life, will he have time to read? Time will tell. Wime Till Well.

Yum yum time to tuck into some crackers with horseradish cheese, a light cucumber salad, pear cider and infanticide. Painted lemur things, boat murder, and opium-laced strawberries abound in this next part of Redwall: Mattimeo. Will the titular mouse boy finally become anything less than god's perfect little turd ass before the end of his adventure? Will he learn one Maturity and escape the slaver cult? Next week, we're finishing Mattimeo and then doing some other book idk we'll let you know next episode Our discord channel is Mimic's Market Jay's projects can be found at MimicsMarket.com Miles streams over at Twitch.tv/avatarkiora Dan's writing is featured in archiveoftheodd.wordpress.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onairbookfair/message

lol we recorded this a while ago and I never uploaded it so you're getting 2 parts of Mattimeo right quick. Matthias learned what being a hero of Redwall was all about in the original Redwall, now here's an archetypal Failson to act a whole little turd until he gets swiped up by Slagar the Cruel and starts on a long slave-march to a nightmare zone. The citizens of Redwall set out to save the enslaved children and have some fun puzzles and cute meals along the way.

Wanna talk about penis videos? I'm uploading this at 1:10AM on Nov 1st, so I've failed to get this goosebumps episode before the end of Halloween. Now I'm cursed, I became a sexy werewolf and now everyone wants to rub my belly. Anyway, we're going to a theme part to ask the big questions, like "who funds this?" and "why did the car explode?". Horror and television awaits in Horrorland! Next week we'll be studying serious historical anthropology of ancient greece with Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. Don't watch the movie, we're gonna read a damn book.

The one where we talk about Bionicle for a looong time. A little out of order, and hopefully we'll have the Goosebumps: One Day in Horror Land episode up before the end of October! Bionicle holds a special place deep within the brain stems of our hosts, so we get down and dirty in the giant robot brain underground island city of Bionicle lore. Had great times watching old bionicle commercials and pulling audio clips. All the movies are up on youtube free ya know? Have an edible and watch Mask of Light, that's a whole evening.

Uhh...what's the buzz amirite? We've recorded an episode about bionicles but I've skipped it for now in favor of getting enough Goosebumps before the month is out. This week, we grapple with RL Stine's seminal work Why I'm Afraid of Bees which begs the question, why does this woman have a binder full of pictures of vulnerable, miserable children?

What can you do with a sack full of precious metals besides bludgeon an old man to death? This week, we get through the second arc of Brian Jacques' classic rodent fantasy book Redwall, and we took this long to upload because life is difficult. But hey we've already got the next one recorded so I can upload that maybe within a few days from this one! Got a book you want us to read? In October we're gonna be reading a bunch of Goosebumps books! If you've got any ideas, send an email to OnAirBookFair@gmail.com or send us a message on Anchor.fm/onairbookfair.

This podcast HAS. NO. SCHEDULE. This week, we talk about the first and titular book in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques ("jakes") about kindly medieval mice surviving a rat invasion of their eponymous abbey. Along the way we talk about all kinds of dumb tedious crap. Like the book, this is a more mellow, relaxed and slow podcast than our previous episodes. Hey do you know some childhood/adolescent book you think we'd get a kick out of? Or do you have something to berate us about or correct us on? Shoot an email to onairbookfair@gmail.com or leave a voicemail at anchor.fm/onairbookfair. Next week, we continue with the second "book" (like an act 2) of the first Redwall book. There's three "book" acts overall and then we may keep reading this or do something else! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onairbookfair/message

Roll back the rock to the dawn of time and sing this song with meeeeee This week, the lads return from a difficult month of Adult Busy Scheduling to discuss what would happen if magic children went to the cretaceous era to get horrible eviscerated! It's also the most educational episode so far where we all learn about dinosaurs, modern CPR, the politics of carrots, apocrypha, mustard plant variants, the rotation of the earth, meteor impacts, nuclear payloads, temporal determinism, Malthusian ideology and so much more! Got something to yell at us about? We take emails at onairbookfair@gmail.com AND even some voice messages at anchor.fm/onairbookfair! Next week, we're reading Redwall by Brian Jacques.

What's up G A M E R S you ready to get mone'd up with some hot docked dams lookin to IMMERSE in the game and extrapolate evolutionary cycles that lead to genocide?? Then you're in luck, because K.A. Applegate added a supremely weird appendage to the Animorphs teen chapter book series (and hit tv show) that is The Ellimist Chronicles: a voyage across a galaxy, a millennium, and the very boundaries of consciousness and existence. What happens when gamers become gods? As usual, I (Jay) got way too sloshed because I was excited to talk Ellimist, so sorry that I'm absolutely obnoxious. If you'd like to berate me for my bad habits or know of some other young readers' classics you'd like us to visit on On Air Book Fair, send us an email at OnAirBookFair@gmail.com or even a voice message at anchor.fm/onairbookfair! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onairbookfair/message

Grandma Bone gets faded off that soft serve! A week late once again, we pour one out for legendary children's book creator and illustrator Eric Carle. In the conclusion of Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy, the kids make a list of actionable plans, Uncle Patton drinks tea and kills a spectre, and Dr. Bloor does a no-growth. Strap on your spider toe puppet for another round of point-and-click-adventure logic in the Children of the Red King series. Got anything you want to say to us?

Ohhhh my dear Henry have you heard about these Dixie Chicks, they're quite the heart-throbs of American "country" music but they've come into quite hot water due to some opinions about military involvement in the former Ottoman Empire! This week, we wrap up the second Children of the Red King book, though focused on time-travel, has very little time-travel going on and they almost entirely seem to forget it in favor of other little subplots. Heyyyy send us an email at onairbookfair@gmail.com or find the button to send us a message on Anchor.fm, we'd love to hear from you.

A later episode because James has been moving for the last two weeks and then had nanomachines disease! We're also still fussing real hard with audio normalcy so thank you for your patience if anything's whack. In the second installment of the Children of the Red King saga, Charlie's missing great great uncle gets warped from the days of Birth of a Nation (1915) to Snow Dogs (2002). Which of those was more detrimental to the cultural perception of black Americans? These are the questions that must be asked, alongside "who can calm down the thor kid?", "how do does a pet cafe work when it's bring-your-own-pet?" and [tom delonge voice] "WHERE ARE YEWWW?" If you have any answers to these, send them to OnAirBookFairPodcast@gmail.com or send us a message thru anchor.fm, our host site. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onairbookfair/message

This week, we finish up the first Charlie Bone book! An evil lady impersonates a child services official, someone gets locked in an attic, and an old man yells at a teapot. I don't think it turned out super great, and Jamie had clearly been watching too many videos about Rudy Ray Moore films. We're trying out different audio setups and these are the growing pains of a podcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onairbookfair/message

In our inaugural episode, we jump into the book series that inspired this project, The Children of the Red King series, starting with its first book Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo. We read through the chapter Clues At Last and stop before the chapter Mind Games. If you'd like to read along with us, you can probably find this book at your local library, but we cover most of the plot in a followable way. If you've got any reactions, comments, suggestions, questions or whatever to say, drop us a line at onairbookfair@gmail.com. Also, I think out host website Anchor allows you to send us voice messages that we can feature on the show! Do you have any theories about how the mysteries of the Charlie Bone universe will resolve? You can be just as clueless as we are (except Miles, he knows the reveals). Our intro/outro music is the song Nostalgia by Brian Altano from his multimedia project, Weird Heat. We're on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Play and who knows what other kind of podcast distribution platforms. Are we not on your podcast app? Let us know so Jamie can figure out how to send the RSS feed somewhere. Thanks for listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onairbookfair/message

Hello and welcome to On Air Book Fair, a podcast where grown adults revisit books from their childhoods. In the first batch of episodes, we'll be reading through the Children of the Red King series by Jenny Nimmo, and for our first episode, we read through about half the first in the series "Midnight for Charlie Bone" up to the chapter Mind Games. This is an 18+ podcast and while the books are recommended for minors, our foul mouths and crass humor is NOT. If you'd like to follow along with us, Midnight for Charlie Bone is not a difficult read, and can probably be found at your local library. When was the last time you went to the library? If you have any reactions, comments or suggestions, feel free to drop us a line at onairbookfair@gmail.com The music you heard is Nostalgia By Brian Altano, from his multimedia project Weird Heat. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onairbookfair/message
