    Book Club: Let's Talk About 'The Hounding' by Xenobe Purvis

    Xenobe Purvis's slim but powerful debut novel, “The Hounding,” opens with a jolt: “The girls, the infernal heat, a fresh-dead body. Marching up the river path, the villagers.”How did we get here, with five young sisters living in 1700s England being hunted by an angry mob that suspects them not only of murder but also of the demonic ability to transform themselves into a pack of wild dogs? That is the tale “The Hounding” unfolds, in a gothic parable about male ego, cultural misogyny and the dangers of gossip run amok.On this week's episode, host MJ Franklin discusses “The Hounding” with his fellow Book Review editors Joumana Khatib, Emily Eakin and Gregory Cowles.Other books and works mentioned in this podcast:“The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson“The Sound of Music,” directed by Robert Wise“The Testament of Yves Gundron,” by Emily Barton“The Scarlet Letter,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne“Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch,” by Rivka Galchen“Delicate Edible Birds,” by Lauren Groff“Paradise,” by Toni MorrisonThe podcast “Normal Gossip”“You Didn't Hear This From Me,” by Kelsey McKinney Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

    RHLSTP Book Club #167 - Life is Rosi - Rich chats to impressionist and actor Jess Robinson about her terrific debut book, (which she describes as Anne Frank meets Bridget Jones), Life is Rosi, an ambitious true story combining the diaries of 20 something Jess with the diaries of her grandmother, Rosi. They discuss the slightly forgotten first stages of the Holocaust where Polish Jews were expelled from Germany in 1938 and how Rosi's positivity helped her to survive this turbulent period, also the echoes of history that resonate for Jewish people now (even those who are not deemed Jewish enough by Jewish dating services). Plus the similarities and differences between these two young women, the unpleasant things that a hopeful though naive Jess had to endure on her own journey (but how all of us were susceptible to creeps in our younger years), how writing about experiences that we're uncomfortable about can help others (and ourselves), why Jess wanted to apply for citizenship of a country that had treated her grandmother so badly, the universality of family and how we often fail to learn the lessons of history. Plus the huge technical achievement of combining all these stories and managing to find the humour in it all.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/rosi-jess-robinson/7840560SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

Jonah isn't just about a man and a whale; it's about running from what God asks, choosing the “easier” path, and learning what obedience looks like when it feels uncomfortable. We'll talk about why God allows detours, how resistance can lead to deeper growth, and what happens when we finally stop running and say yes.Book Club is happening!

    Have you ever finished a book you absolutely loved but found hard to explain? In this episode of Unabridged, we're discussing our January 2026 Book Club pick, National Book Award winner The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother) by Rabih Alameddine (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm), which is brilliant in ways that are sometimes hard to articulate. Before diving into the discussion, we start with a bookish check-in: Ashley shares about Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) by Jesse Q. Sutanto (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm), and Jen talks about Life on a Little-Known Planet: Dispatches from a Changing World by Elizabeth Kolbert (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm).From there, we dig into Raja the Gullible, talking about Raja's unforgettable narrative voice, the novel's nonlinear structure, and the way humor and tragedy coexist on the page. We explore Raja's complicated, tender relationship with his mother, the impact of memory and trauma across decades, and how personal stories are shaped by larger national and historical forces. We also share book pairings, give this one a resounding five bookish hearts, and wrap up with a couple of Unabridged favorites.If you're participating in the 2026 Unabridged Reading Challenge, this book fulfills the category “book from an awards list.” If you read this one, we'd love to hear what you thought!Visit the Unabridged website for our full show notes and links to the books mentioned in the episode.

    Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) dive into The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, with iconic illustrations by Jules Feiffer—a timeless children's fantasy that doubles as a philosophical guide to paying attention.First published in 1961, The Phantom Tollbooth follows Milo, a bored boy who drives through a mysterious tollbooth and enters a world where words grow on trees, numbers are mined from the ground, time literally ticks, and curiosity determines whether you move forward or get stuck in the Doldrums. Along the way, Milo meets unforgettable characters like Tock the Watchdog, Humbug, Alec Bings, and the princesses Rhyme and Reason.In this episode, Phil and Marisa explore why this book has endured for over 60 years—selling nearly five million copies—despite early bans and challenges over its “difficult” language and ideas. We break down the novel's playful but pointed critique of modern life: distraction, speed, consumerism, and the quiet danger of not thinking deeply enough.We discuss the power of language and education, the balance between words and numbers, and why wisdom isn't just about learning facts—but learning how, why, and when to use what you know. The conversation also touches on the book's adaptations, including the 1970 animated/live-action film, stage versions, and ongoing interest in a modern remake. At its heart, The Phantom Tollbooth reminds us that life isn't boring—it's only boring when curiosity disappears.We also share what we've been reading outside of Book Club lately.Upcoming Book Club picks-I'll Be Waiting For You (and other stories) – Kim Bo-Young (February 2026)-The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (March 2026)-Marisa pick (April 2026)-How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)-Marisa pick (June 2026)-Days at the Torunka Café – Satoshi Yagisawa (July 2026)

Elanor takes her to a jewellery store, where Elanor was negotiating the sale of some old jewels for her mother. The is heaving, and the girls are obliged to wait. One pompous man is holding up the line. When she finally gets to the front of the line Elanor starts her business when she is interrupted by another gentleman, her brother. They have a quick catch up, and after her business done walks his sisters out to Mrs. Jenning's carriage. The following day, he visits his sisters at Mrs. Jenning's place, where he makes a very good impression on her and Colonel Brandon, who was also visiting. He asks Elanor to walk with him to Sir John Middleton's place where he is hoping to make their acquaintance. She readily consents as the weather is nice. He goes on to nudge her about Colonel Brandon, who he believes is in love with Elanor. She tries to dissuade him from this idea, but he doesn't want to hear it. He seems very keen on the Colonel after finding out about his financial situation. He then talks about Mrs. Jennings and her financial situation and seems certain that she will bestow some money on his sisters too. When they arrive at the Middleton's lodgings, John Dashwood makes a very good first impression, and he seems equally fond of them as well. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

We're bringing you something (someone?) new and exciting to go along with our deep dive series for the Plated Prisoner books by Raven Kenneny, going on now! We're chatting with none other than the man behind our favorite voices…including THE Slade Ravinger… Anthony Palmini! Yes, you heard that right: he's the voice of some of our most treasured MMC's like Kingfisher from the Fae and Alchemy series by Callie Hart and Rhysand in the dramatized adaptation of A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J Maas… and we want to know… how did he get here? He has a corner on the Romantasy shadow daddy market, and we need to know what that's like? No pressure at all! And maybe if we're extra lucky he might just show off his talents a little and answer some listener submitted questions! Anthony has over 10 years in the professional voice acting field, doing everything from voice overs for commercials, to audiobooks, to composing music for independent films. He does video editing and directing, writing for online production companies, video editing for brand names and television studios, and has even been part of a comedy troupe. We think it's safe to say that he knows his stuff, and that's the reason why he has become such a vital and beloved member of the book community.

She feels sorry for the girl, and can only think about what might have happened to her. Mrs. Dashwoods writes more and says that she thinks it is a better idea for the girls to stay in the city, as their Barton cottage would be full of memories of Willoughby, and the city would be full of distractions for the girls. She is also hopeful that if the girls stay in London that they will see their brother. Elanor accepts that she will have to see Edward again, though is not looking forward to it after learning about his engagement with Lucy Steele. Every one of their friends are appalled buy Willoughby's behaviour, and vow to never speak to or say a kind word about him again. While everyone abstains from talking to Marianne about the man, they do feel a need to discuss him with Elanor, which she dislikes. Colonel Brandon is however permitted to talk of Willoughby with Elanor and Marianne, though Marianne so rarely talks; this does give him hope that his relationship with Marianne will strengthen in time. In 2 weeks' time, Elanor finds out about Willoughby's marriage, and she has to give the news to her sister, hoping only that it will not hurt her too much and, that there is now no chance of running into the man in town, that Marianne will start to slowly leave the house. The Steele's arrival in London gives more excuses to venture out too, but reminds Elanor only of Edward…SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

    RHLSTP Book Club #166 - Sin Bin Island - Rich meets Red Dwarf co-creator and writer for A Kick Up The Eighties, Doug Naylor to talk about his thrilling and funny new book for kids, Sinbin Island. They chat about how Doug got started in comedy, why he gave us the Chicken Song, how Galton and Simpson inspired the writing of Red Dwarf, the difficulty of getting a sci-fi sitcom off the ground and how losing a leg at the age of 7 led to a correspondence with Douglas Bader. They then talk about what inspired Sinbin Island and how it started off about being about aliens, why so many kids books revolve around orphans, the decision to make the story reassuringly old-fashioned and yet still funny and relevant, whether the story is deliberately written to be unfilmable (at least without a huge budget) and if it was inspired by Doug's own experiences at boarding school. Plus the intriguing Russian nesting dolls and what they say about free will or time travel, but let's not give too much away.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/sin-bin-island-a-financial-times-children-s-book-of-the-year-from-red-dwarf-co-creator-doug-naylor-doug-naylor/3ad56d65845f8273SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

    What's Your Superpower?In this episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah tap into reflection, purpose, and grown-woman clarity as they unpack the question: what's your real superpower? From unexpected “God wink” moments to conversations about confidence, imposter syndrome, and walking into rooms knowing you belong, this episode is about recognizing your value without needing permission.The ladies open up about how their strengths show up in work, relationships, and community — and why sometimes it takes a stranger, a producer, or a quiet moment to remind you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. They also talk about commitment in this season of life, learning how to say no without guilt, setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, and why burnout isn't a badge of honor.In Weird Sex, the conversation turns to curiosity, threesomes, and ethical non-monogamy — breaking down how to talk about fantasies honestly, why curiosity doesn't equal dissatisfaction, and how consent and communication make all the difference.As always, things take a turn into real life: fostering chaotic cats, stepping back from dating, learning new skills, choosing rest, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. If you've been questioning your path, feeling stuck, or wondering whether you're doing enough, this episode is a reminder that your presence, your voice, and your energy matter more than you think.Sometimes your superpower isn't loud — it's just consistent.

(3:30) Going to failure every time is not a good idea. What is a "set" and a "rep"? (14:15) What matters is the amount of time under pressure. (19:30) Look at the rep's quality and keep your form correct. Is there a particular approach to starting based on gender, age, or other factors? (28:00) Age can be a factor, but experience is the real factor. Vinnie describes how to gauge if you are lifting enough weight for you. (29:00) How frequently are you supposed to hit each muscle group? (32:00) Hitting each group more than a couple of times a week is enough to gain strength. More isn't necessarily better.
