In this Mere Mortals book review, we revisit Skeleton Key, the third Alex Rider novel, blending teenage espionage with lessons on stoicism, discipline, and composure. Beyond the action-packed spy drama, I explore how the book's villain, the General, embodies a powerful, minimalistic strength that shaped my early understanding of discipline and quiet resilience. This isn't just about the plot, it's about the philosophy hidden between the lines.(00:00) – Welcome & New Studio Setup(00:19) – Introducing Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz(00:42) – Why Revisit Alex Rider as an Adult(01:15) – Plot Setup: From Wimbledon to the World of Spies(02:09) – CIA Involvement & Dangerous Missions(02:28) – Enter the Villain: The General and His Henchman(03:16) – High-Stakes Action: Submarines & Survival(04:13) – The Real Focus: A Villain Worth Admiring(05:16) – Strength Without Noise: The General's Philosophy(06:16) – Stoicism Before I Knew What It Was(07:22) – Composure in a World That Sees It as Weakness(08:35) – Final Thoughts & Recommendation(09:14) – Closing & Future Book ReviewsConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast

A best-selling novellist with a life story that reads like a best-selling novel... our guest this week is Anthony Horowitz. In this absorbing and - at times - moving and shocking conversation, Anthony tells Gyles about his young life and upbringing, which is extraordinary. Born to wealthy parents into a very large home of extreme privilege, Horowitz's childhood was cold, lonely and lacking in love and affection. His father was critical and prone to cruelty, his mother was stifled. The teachers at his prep school were brutal and abusive. So it's not surprising that Anthony looks back at this childhood with ambivalence, anger and regret, and that it's found its way into many of his books. Anthony also tells Gyles about how he found his voice as a writer, about meeting his wife, Jill Green, and their brilliant partnership, and about his hatred of writers' routines. Enjoy this.

This week we tackle the final 200 pages! Let's Solve the whodunnits within this fun book! Alan Conway is dead - long live Atticus Pünd who's brought back from the fictional dead as a continuation novel by failed author Eliot Crace, the grandson of famed deceased children's author, Miriam Crace. Susan needs work, so she's drafted to help the washed out Eliot turn his manuscript into a worthy entry in the Atticus Pund series. As Susan delves into the manuscript, she discovers uncanny parallels between the fictional world and real-life Crace family secrets.

As Susan begins to read the manuscript's opening chapters, the skeptical editor is relieved to find that Pund's Last Case is actually very good. Set in the South of France, it revolves around the mysterious death of Lady Margaret Chalfont, who, though mortally ill, is poisoned—perhaps by a member of her own family. But who did it? And why?

Anthony Horowitz joins Ray for a fascinating chat about his writing career.

They are the titans of the spy novel, who have elevated thrillers to the level of literary fiction. Much imitated, much adapted by the big and small screens, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré have painted our picture of post-war espionage: Fleming through the dashing figure of James Bond, with his lush locations and Martinis as icy as his heart; Le Carré through his damning portrait of the British secret service drawn from his own time in MI5 and MI6. But which of the two novelists is the greater? In this thrilling contest, Fleming's case was made by Anthony Horowitz, creator of the bestselling Alex Rider spy novels and author of the official Bond continuation novel Trigger Mortis. Championing Le Carré – whose memoir about his life as a former spy currently sits in the bestseller lists – was David Farr, Emmy-nominated screenwriter of the BBC's adaptation of The Night Manager. Actors Lesley Manville, Simon Callow, Matthew Lewis and Alex Macqueen joined us to bring both authors' works to life along with our host, author and critic Erica Wagner. ----  If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Shoot us a Text.As the month nears its close, we're talking about Senator Bernie Moreno going to bat for the auto industry with a new bill. Plus, GM is raising its stock dividends while doing a new buy back and the Las Vegas PD debuts a fleet of Cybertrucks given to them by an anonymous donor.Show Notes with links:Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), a former auto dealer, is introducing the “Transportation Freedom Act”, a bill aimed at repealing federal emissions rules, reducing regulations, and providing tax breaks for U.S. automakers.The bill seeks to eliminate EPA tailpipe emissions rules and block California's zero-emission vehicle mandate.It offers a 200% tax deduction on wages paid to U.S. auto workers for automakers that keep at least 75% of production domestic, up to $150,000 per worker, and blocks companies from using the money they save for stock buybacks.Moreno's bill would end “arbitrary” CAFE fuel standards and replace them within six months with new, achievable regulations that align with consumer demand.GM, Stellantis, Toyota, NADA, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation and American Trucking Associations back the legislation.Moreno: “Thanks to liberal bureaucrats who want to mandate what cars Americans can drive, states like mine are riddled with car lots filled with expensive EVs people simply don't want and dormant factories that once employed millions of American workers. The only winner is China.”GM is doubling down on returning value to shareholders, announcing a 25% dividend increase and a new $6 billion share buyback program. This move, which sent shares up 6%, comes as the automaker looks to balance investor returns with EV investments.GM will repurchase $2B in shares by mid-2025, with the remaining $4B at its discretion and the quarterly dividend will rise from 12 to 15 cents per share, effective April 2025.GM repurchased 87M shares in Q4 2023, completing a previous $10B buyback.GM projects a net income of $11.2B to $12.5B for 2025, with $10B-$11B in capital spending as it works to narrow EV operating losses by $2B.The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) is bringing some futuristic flair to law enforcement, announcing the addition of 10 Tesla Cybertrucks to its patrol and SWAT fleets. But the real mystery? The trucks were entirely donated by an anonymous supporter.Sheriff Kevin McMahill made the announcement during the 2025 State of the Department event, saying on X, “These are badass”The Cybertrucks will be customized for patrol and SWAT operations and LVMPD will integrate them with semi-autonomous drones and shot-spotting technology.Speculation surrounds the anonymous donor, with some suspecting Tesla or Elon Musk, considering poor Cybertruck sales numbers.Others have proposed Anthony Horowitz of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, as he has made large donations to the LVMPD in tHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Welcome to Improvably Bad Books, the podcast where we throw logic out the window and dive into books with only the cover, the blurb, and our best (often terrible) guesses. Each episode, our improv crew attempts to reconstruct a book's plot before our library experts swoop in to set the record straight. Expect mystery, hilarity, and just the right amount of chaos as we piece together (or completely derail) the story. In this episode, we tackle The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz—murder, funerals, and curtain cords included. Will we crack the case? Probably not. But we'll have fun trying. Erin, Aaron, Zoe, and Jill just doing their best.

Jordan recommends some James Bond books to check out. Get all the news you need by listening to WBZ NewsRadio 1030 on the free #iHeartRadio app! Or ask Alexa to play WBZ NewsRadio on #iHeartRadio.

Welcome to a special festive episode of The Edition podcast, where we will be taking you through the pages of The Spectator's Christmas triple issue. Up first: our review of the year – and what a year it has been. At the start of 2024, the outcome of the US election looked very different, the UK had a different Prime Minister, and The Spectator had a different editor! Luckily, The Spectator's regular columnists are on hand to declare what they got right – and wrong – throughout the year, and whether they're optimistic for 2025. Rod Liddle, Matthew Parris, Mary Wakefield and Lionel Shriver take us through everything from Trump to trans (03:24). Next: ‘Good riddance 2024' – in his own alternative review of the year, Roger Lewis declares 2024 one to forget. The actor Robert Bathurst voices a special out-loud version of the article, taking us through the year in Roger's typically acerbic style (28:37). Then: the unsung heroes at Christmas time. While most of the country will be sitting down to Christmas dinner, hundreds of people will face an atypical day, not least of all those deployed on the Royal Navy's Continuous At Sea Deterrent mission. Journalist Ali Kefford takes us through the relentless schedule of Royal Navy submariners in the Christmas issue, and explores the strangely isolating but oddly communal experience of Christmas at sea, where the traditions of land meet the peculiarities of life under the water. To explain what it's really like, Ali joins the podcast alongside naval officer Alex Kubara (42:56). And finally: the prescient politics of Tintin. Few characters have captured the spirit of adventure quite like Tintin, the intrepid boy reporter with a knack for stumbling into international intrigue. From the deserts of Arabia to the jungles of South America – and even to the moon – Tintin has been a global icon of curiosity and courage for nearly a century. In the Christmas magazine former foreign correspondent and ‘Tintinologist' Michael Farr celebrates the genius of the Belgian reporter and how politics was never far from Hergé's agenda. To take us through a history of Tintin, and to understand its appeal and influence, we're joined by Michael and another author who took inspiration from the character, Anthony Horowitz (52:18). Throughout the podcast, you will also hear from The Spectator's agony aunt Dear Mary, and the special celebrity guests who have sought her advice in this year's Christmas magazine, including Jacob Rees-Mogg (27:07), James MacMillan (50:51) and Sophie Winkleman (1:09:49). Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.
