Esta semana no Irritações, tempo para um dos temas que está a marcar os últimos dias: o movimento 'Tyre Extinguishers', suportado por jovens ambientalistas, que têm furado pneus de vários carros por diferentes cidades, por os considerarem poluentes. José de Pina e Luís Pedro Nunes mostraram-se revoltados com a prática: "Isto anda tudo louco, o mundo está a atravessar um momento complicado. (...) furar pneus só porque sim, e sem pensar que podem, por exemplo, estar a impedir um médico de ir salvar uma vida". Carla Quevedo comenta as pessoas que posam em fotografias com os braços cruzados, com Luana do Bem a falar sobre o problema de "espirrar várias vezes" enquanto vai a conduzir. Com moderação de Pedro Boucherie Mendes, o Irritações foi emitido a 2 de junho, na SIC Radical, e terminou com o tema 'She's Too Cool for You' dos Audio Book Club.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of AudioBookClub…  Matthew and Steve fail to recommend ‘The Light We Carry” by Michelle Obama. Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub  - the podcast that reviews and recommends audiobooks. On this episode: Steve and Matthew welcome Helena Sheffield, Senior Marketing Manager, Penguin Random House Audio onto their pod. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go according go to plan. Matthew couldn't quite find it in his heart to recommend that you, gentle listener, spend an Audible credit on 9 hours and 59 minutes of your life on Michelle Obama's new self-help book and, instead, started playing clips from Barack Obama's ‘A Promised Land' Coincidentally, that also happens to be the audiobook that Helena bought for her father as a Christmas present last year. Helena gives us some fantastic insight into how the audiobook business works - from casting to marketing via the long, hard slog in the recording studio - and gives us a fistful of excellent listening recommendations. Please get involved in the conversation @SteveKPhillips and @WhingeingPom AudioBookClub.net #AudioBookClub on facebook, twitter or instagram Coming up on #AudioBookClub… INTERVIEW: Ben Macintyre, author of ‘Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle', ‘Operation Mincemeat' and ‘S.A.S.

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - a podcast that recommends and reviews audiobooks. On this episode:  ‘The Bullet That Missed' Book 3 of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series of whodunnits set in idyllic retirement village Coopers Chase. For people (like Matthew) who have read the first two books in the series, it's the eagerly awaited return of beloved characters Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron and Ibrahim. For people (like Steve) who are new to the seriesm it's a chance to follow the adventures of a group of senior citizens who have taken to solving murders. Society may have cast them aside, but they are fully rounded human beings with a wealth of experience. In our role as one of the world's very few audiobook review and recommendation podcasts, we feel it is our duty to bring up the issue that nobody else is talking about - to mention the elephant in the room: Changing a narrator? Three books into an audiobook series? Is that even legal? Please get involved in the conversation - either with your opinions on ‘The Bullet That Missed' or if you want to recommend an audiobook for us to review by using #AudioBookClub on facebook, twitter or instagram. – Coming up on AudioBookClub… ‘Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle' by Ben MacIntyre - https://amzn.to/3EiofUR  From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast (Series 2) - https://amzn.to/3yia0vA

We also talked about celebrity “What's In Your Bag” videos and how over-the-top they are, generational slang and the resulting internet drama, our fall clothes shopping, and an upcoming event at Red Beauty Lounge.

On this episode of #AudioBookClub - no longer the world's only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast - Steve and Matthew speak to journalist and author Geoff White about his new audiobook 'The Lazarus Heist'. The book is based on the BBC's award winning podcast series of the same name and, in both formats, Geoff tells the story of the Lazarus Group - an elite group of North Korean government-backed hackers. This is the first time we've encountered an audiobook based on a podcast series, so we ask ourselves and Geoff what the difference between the two formats is, both for him as an author/journalist/presenter and for us as listeners. We also touch upon the differences between working for the BBC and for a publishing company like Penguin; and Geoff reminds us that while we haven't necessarily seen many visible signs of any cyber fallout from the war in Ukraine, there is a lot of defensive effort being undertaken in places like GCHQ and Fort Meade. -- Get involved in the conversation.

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - the world's only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast. On this very special episode of #AudioBookClub, Steve and Matthew speak to the man they're not afraid to call 'The Greatest Audiobook Producer In The World" His name is Dirk Maggs and he's the man fully responsible for the conversion of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' from the original graphic novels into the genre-redefining audiobook series we know and love. Dirk was incredibly generous with his time and gave us insights into all the stages of the production process: writing; casting; 'pushing actors about in a studio' and (Steve's favourite part) making the squishy sound effects. Please show your appreciation for Dirk's genius in the comments below.   --   “The Sandman: Act 2” - based on the DC Comics series written by Neil Gaiman.

Is it the transformative experience for the audiobook subscription model that we've all been waiting for, or just a receptacle for audio off-cuts? We also look forward to the impending State Visit of the man we're not afraid to call 'The Greatest Audiobook Producer of All Time': Dirk Maggs. He's the production maestro responsible for the original 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' series and Audible's production of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' and he'll be joining Matthew and Steve on the next episode of #AudioBookClub on 1st December. -- Get involved in the conversation.

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - the world's only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast. On this episode, Steve and Matthew discuss possibly the  audiobook with the biggest production budget of all time: “The Sandman” by Neil Gaiman. Based on Gaiman's series of graphic novels from the late 80s early 90s, this audiobook boasts a cast that numbers amongst its members some very expensive actors indeed - James McAvoy, Michael Sheen, Andy Serkis, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Dickinson.... The production is lavish - a series of immersive soundscapes that bring to life an extraordinary eleven hour blockbusting film in the movie theatre of the listener's mind. And what does this genre-defining moment mean for the future of the audiobook as a medium? Matthew and Steve investigate, then invite you to get involved in the conversation. -- “The Sandman” - written by Neil Gaiman Full cast recording featuring: Neil Gaiman, James McAvoy, Taron Egerton,  Michael Sheen, Andy Serkis, Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth,  Dramatised and produced by Dirk Maggs Publisher: Audible Originals AUS: https://amzn.to/3ylBH3M CAN: https://amzn.to/3gEwFJM UK: https://amzn.to/3DpIMUu US: https://amzn.to/3znBezq -- Get involved in the conversation.
