Sam Leith's guest for this week's Book Club podcast is Joanna Pocock, whose new book Greyhound  describes two trips she took across America by Greyhound bus in 2006 and 2023. They talk about the literature of the road, that distinctively American and usually distinctively male genre, and the meaning of travel – and Joanna tells Sam how the America you see from a Greyhound differs from the one you see on television; and how dramatically it has changed even over the last couple of decades. 

CannCon and Ashe in America wrap up Letters to Trump with a lively discussion of the epilogue, sharing their final reflections on the collection and its mix of personal anecdotes, political history, and cultural commentary. They revisit memorable letters from the book, draw connections to current events, and explore how Trump's relationships, both political and personal, have shaped his public persona. The hosts balance humor with insight, offering candid takes on the personalities featured, the behind-the-scenes stories revealed, and what these letters say about influence, loyalty, and legacy. It's a fitting close to the series that has blended literature, politics, and a dash of Badlands banter.

Decades later, Zach Ozma and Ellis Martin compiled those diaries into "We Both Laughed in Pleasure" (aka the Pink Butt Book) which tells the story of Lou's full, freaky, fascinating life.

In this episode, Tim chats with author and activist Brian McLaren about his new novel The Last Voyage, a provocative and emotionally rich exploration of what might happen when the powerful elite try to escape a dying Earth and build a new civilisation elsewhere. Drawing on decades of theological reflection and his recent work on collapse and ecological crisis, Brian reflects on what spirituality might look like at the end of the world. Can faith survive without institutions or certainty? What happens when spiritual practices are reduced to survival strategies? Is surrender a form of wisdom, or just disguised defeat? And what does it mean to live meaningfully when the future is fragile and unknown? After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Nick reflect on how Brian's novel resonates with their own faith journeys—particularly their experiences of institutional loss, their relationship to hope in a time of climate breakdown, and the challenge of staying spiritually open when despair feels like the path of least resistance.

One True Podcast concludes its One True Book Club for the year with its third of three installments on W.H. Hudson's 1885 novel, The Purple Land.This final episode covers chapter 21 to the end. We examine how Hudson resolves the domestic plot, the travel plot, and the confrontation with the diabolical Don Hilario. We debate whether The Purple Land's climax is or is not even climactic.Then, we call in scholar Ilan Stavans, former OTP guest and editor of the U of Wisconsin Press edition of The Purple Land. Stavans ties up some of our loose ends and provides a broader historical and aesthetic context for Hudson's project.We hope you'll enjoy this third episode on this fascinating and problematic novel.

Then I begin my multi-episode series on exploring the setting of The Culture series by Iain M. Banks. Topics include how 9,000 years is a really long time and convergent human evolution across the galaxy. How “alien” will alien life really be?

While he waits in the reception, he thinks about his hatred for the magistrate. One inside Porfiry's office, Raskolnikov presents him with a written request for his pawned items. The two then have a long conversation in which Raskolnikov starts to feel that he has fallen into a trap. Frustrated by Porfiry's games, he asks the magistrate to submit him to questioning like they discussed the previous day. Porfiry tries to put Raskolnikov at ease and becomes friendly with him. He babbles away, talking mostly nonsense, though every now and again adding a poignant remark. He discusses the psychological methods by which he hopes to catch the killer. He includes observations about the "youth" and "intelligence" of his the suspect that are directed towards Raskolnikov. Raskolnikov stays quiet throughout Porfiry's monologue. He then bursts out claiming that Porfiry is suspects him, and challenges Porfiry to either arrest him or let him be. Porfiry tries to calm Raskolnikov down, but as he does so he says that he knows that Raskolnikov went to the scene of the crime. He tries to trick Raskolnikov into admitting that he sent Razumikhin to ask Porfiry about his suspicious. Raskolnikov becomes very upset, but then something happens...SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Welcome to this narration of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's masterpiece, bringing you another chapter of this incredible literary classic.

In this conversation, Benjamin Quinn and Simon Kennedy discuss Kennedy's book 'Against Worldview', which critiques traditional approaches to Christian education and proposes a shift towards understanding education as a process of growing in wisdom.
