How one of the world's most influential crossword setters became increasingly interested in the science behind them (R)

How one of the world's most influential crossword setters became increasingly interested in the science behind them (R)

When’s the last time you completed a crossword puzzle? Or, maybe, you've never done one because you believe that it's something for an older generation to complete. Either way, with print media in decline, is the crossword puzzle under threat? And will the crossword ever see the same level of popularity on a computer or tablet screen?To discuss, I connected with English enthusiast and word nerd David Astle, who you may know as the dictionary keeper on the cult SBS game show Letters and Numbers. David has been creating crossword puzzles for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age for nearly 40 years, and has written a number of books devoted to the black and white grid. We discussed the history of the crossword puzzle, and found that my presumptions about the demise of the crossword might well be wrong.David Astle can be found on Twitter @dontattempt. He can be heard on ABC Melbourne weeknights from 7pm, and his books Cluetopia: The Story of 100 Years of the Crossword, and Rewording the Brain are available now. You can read more about David at his website, davidastle.com.For more of David’s tips on solving cryptic crosswords: ‘Cryptic crosswords too confusing?

In episode six, word nerd and crypto-cruciverbalist David "DA" Astle joins us to discuss our first non-Discworld novel: Dodger! Published in 2012, it's set in Victorian London and is heavily inspired by the work and style of Charles Dickens, and also that of Punch magazine co-founder Henry Mayhew, author of London Labour and the London Poor - both of whom appear as characters! In the first quarter of Queen Victoria's reign, a young woman falls from a carriage during a London storm - followed by two threatening men. Out of a nearby sewer grate springs Dodger, street orphan and accomplished "tosher" (sewer scavenger), who fights them off before Charles Dickens and Henry Mayhew happen by and take the woman to safety. Dickens enlists Dodger's aid in investigating their mysterious charge, who is clearly on the run but refuses to speak of herself or those coming after her. Dodger will need to be sharp as a razor and to have all the luck the Lady of the Sewers can give him in this adventure - but will he be the same Dodger when it's over? In a spot of time travel, we leap forward to one of Pratchett's last books. More serious than many of his other works, though still light in tone and written in a very Dickensian style - including chapters! - Dodger is quite a departure for Pratchett in many ways while still remaining essentially Pratchetty. (Pratchettesque?) What do you think of Dodger? Let us know! Use the hashtag #Pratchat6 on social media to join the conversation. You can find David Astle online at davidastle.com, itself a haven of word puzzles and anagrams, and he's on Twitter as @DontAttempt (a joking translation of his cryptic crossword-maker initials, DA, which some see as proof of difficulty!). His latest work is David Astle's Gargantuan Book of Words, which is available now through publishers Allen & Unwin, but watch out for Rewording the Brain and 101 Weird Words and Three Fakes, appearing in 2018. You can also catch him on the wireless on ABC Melbourne. You can read the full show notes and errata for this episode on our web site. We return to the Discworld for our May 8th episode, though we are going slightly out of order to read Eric, the first illustrated Discworld book! And who better to discuss it than an illustrator? So we'll be joined by Adelaide-based artist and comic book creator, Georgina Chadderton (aka George Rex)! This one is recorded hot on the heels of our April episode, so by the time you read this we may have already asked for your questions, but even if you missed that callout you can still join in on social media with the hashtag #Pratchat7.

David Astle is an author, freelance writer and cruciverbalist. That last word might be unfamiliar to you, so allow me to explain: a cruciverbalist is a person skilled in the art of creating and solving crossword puzzles, which is something that David has been doing for most of his life. Since the mid-1980s, he has been crafting cryptic crosswords for readers of Fairfax newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, but for most of that time, he was known only by his initials. It wasn't until 2010 that 'DA' exposed himself as David Astle, with a book named Puzzled: Secrets And Clues From A Life Lost In Words. All of my guests on Penmanship share a love of words and language, but David Astle might take the cake in this regard – if only because when we met at a hotel room in late November, he was wearing a shirt which read, "Triple Nerd Score". David is unique among my guests thus far to have co-created a new word: in 2012, he was part of a team which met at Sydney University to come up with a definition for the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention. Their creation? 'Phub': a phone snub. For years, I have enjoyed David's column 'Wordplay', which appears in The Sydney Morning Herald's arts section, Spectrum, each Saturday. It was through this narrow window into his long and prosperous freelance career that we met while he was visiting Brisbane to promote his first book for kids, Wordburger: How To Be A Champion Word Puzzler In 20 Quick Bites. As I soon learned, however, David is a man who carries many arrows in his writerly quiver, and it was a delight to discuss how he has built a life around a love for language. Our conversation touches on the challenge of writing for children instead of adults; how he chooses timely topics for his weekly column; how he became obsessed with puzzles as a teenager and began stalking a prominent Fairfax puzzle editor; the interview that led to him quitting his one-time dream job as a feature writer for Inside Sport, and how he became the host of a television game show on SBS named Letters and Numbers. David Astle is the author of ten books, most of them digging a wordy vein. His latest is Wordburger – his first for kids – that sneakily unlocks the mystery of cryptic crosswords. Other verbal odysseys include Riddledom, Cluetopia and Puzzled.  Smitten with language, David writes his weekly Wordplay column for Spectrum in the Sydney Morning Herald, exploring anything from emojis to Dothraki. He’s also responsible for the weekly DA cryptic on Friday in that paper, and The Age, while his news anagram can be heard on Radio National’s Sunday Extra program. From 2010 until 2012, David fulfilled the role of dictionary umpire on SBS’s Letters and Numbers. He’s also been a feature writer for Sunday Life and Inside Sport, plus a tutor in both journalism and creative writing at RMIT.
