Podcast appearances and mentions of David Lodge

According to Peter Sellers: “It all started because Spike Milligan and I once said we wanted to experiment in visual humour. We got as many friends together as we could and went and found a field. That was all we had – friends, a field, a roll of film.”What resulted was 'The Running, Jumping & Standing Still Film' (1959), directed by the up-and-coming Richard Lester, a friend and collaborator of Sellers and Milligan. The short film soon became a word-of-mouth hit and was even nominated for an Oscar. It helped pave the way for Lester to work with the Beatles several years later and Spike Milligan claimed that it was one of the very few true visual representations of Peter Sellers' sense of humour. Although accounts vary it has become accepted that the total budget for the film was £70 (including the rent of a field) and the entire cast was made up of - as Sellers says - friends. So we see Graham Stark, Leo McKern, David Lodge, Mario Fabrizi, Bruce Lacey and Johnny Vyvyan, as well as the two Goons themselves. This week film academic Dr Adrian Smith joins Tyler to talk about this highly influential 11 minutes of mayhem.

Released 69 years ago this week, The Cockleshell Heroes was a heavily fictionalised account of the real-life WW2 Operation Frankton, in which a group of marines, headed by Herbert ‘Blondie' Hasler, covertly entered Bordeaux Harbour in kayaks (or ‘Cockles') to sabotage German cargo vessels. The film starred actor/director Jose Ferrer and Trevor Howard, with Anthony Newley and… drum roll… DAVID LODGE providing solid support as Marines Clarke & Ruddock respectively.   Although The Cockleshell Heroes was a hit with audiences and looks gorgeous in Technicolour it doesn't tend to get talked about as much as other similar WW2 films of the period and perhaps this was partly down to the almost anti-climactic third act. However, thanks to shameless plugging by David Lodge on a frequent basis some two decades later as part of Spike Milligan's Q series the film is still regarded affectionately by some people, particularly listeners to this podcast, and it seemed a nice idea to put it under the scrutinising gaze of your host and his special guest this week.   Joining Tyler is Warren Cummings, host of The Cinematic Sausage podcast and someone with a very direct link to the true events which this film depicts – his grandfather served alongside the ‘Cockleshell Heroes' in WW2.   It's a great chat with tons of fascinating factual information about Operation Frankton and how the film reflected the true events, plus there's a long-deserved tribute to David Lodge, without whom this podcast would be poorer.

In 1984, many assumed that J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun had the Booker Prize in the bag. But actually, it was Anita Brookner's Hotel du Lac that clinched the prize in the end. This week, we're exploring the bookies' favourite vs the Booker winner to ask which book should have won: Brookner's short, quiet novel set in a genteel Swiss hotel or Ballard's long and action-packed autobiographical epic set in wartime Shanghai. In this episode Jo and James: Discuss the Booker Prize 1984 shortlist Share a brief biography of Anita Brookner Summarise the plot of Anita Brookner's Hotel du Lac Explore the characters in Brookner's novel Share a brief biography of J.G.

The seaside town of Fircombe is facing a crisis – it is always raining and there is nothing for the tourists to do. Councillor Sidney Fiddler (Sid James) hits on the notion of holding a beauty contest. The mayor, Frederick Bumble (Kenneth Connor), is taken with the idea but feminist councillor Augusta Prodworthy (June Whitfield) is outraged and storms out of the meeting. The motion is carried in Augusta's absence, and Sidney contacts publicist Peter Potter (Bernard Bresslaw) to help with the organisation. Sidney's girlfriend, Connie Philpotts (Joan Sims), runs a local hotel and soon her residents—including the eccentric Mrs Dukes (Joan Hickson) and the randy old Admiral (Peter Butterworth)—are outnumbered by putative models, including diminutive biker Hope Springs (Barbara Windsor) and tall, buxom Dawn Brakes (Margaret Nolan). A catfight orchestrated by Hope after thinking Dawn has stolen her bikini provides better newspaper copy than bringing a donkey off the beach which, despite the bucket and spade of hotel porter, William (Jack Douglas), ruins the plush carpets. Augusta's son, press photographer Larry (Robin Askwith), is hired to document the donkey stunt and snaps the catfight that has the Mayor losing his trousers, then gulps his way through a nude photo shoot with Dawn. The Mayor's wife, Mildred (Patsy Rowlands), joins Prodworthy's bra-burning movement and plots the downfall of the Miss Fircombe contest on the pier. Peter Potter reluctantly becomes a man in a frock for another publicity gimmick for the television show Women's Things, presented by Cecil Gaybody (Jimmy Logan) and produced by Debra (Sally Geeson). Prodworthy and butch feminist Rosemary (Patricia Franklin) call in the police (David Lodge and Billy Cornelius) to investigate the male pageant contestant but Peter's previously prim girlfriend, Paula (Valerie Leon), has a makeover and turns out to be very buxom and glamorous and steps into the breach as the mysterious girl. Prodworthy's gang put "Operation Spoilsport" into action, sabotaging the final contest with water, mud and itching powder. With an angry mob after his blood, Sidney makes his escape on a go-kart, finds Connie has taken all the money and then speeds away with Hope on her motorcycle.

Universities are home to reality warping bureaucracy, towering moral hubris, endemic charlatanism and rampant neoliberalism... according to the campus satire Jo and Adam discuss in this episode. Inspired by the new Nic Cage movie Dream Scenario and the return of Frasier Crane (this time returning as a Harvard professor), Adam and Jo are taking a deep dive into a world of satire that hits very close to home.... Featuring discussion of campus satire by such authors as David Lodge, Lorrie Moore, Anne Fine, Alison Lurie and, of course, Kingsley Amis. Also featuring an update on Adam's new research interest in continental breakfasts.

“Don't you see? If I'd had a barrister who'd asked questions and made clever speeches then I'd be dead as mutton! Your artfulness paid off! The artful way you handled it, the dumb tactics, it saved me!" Released in America as Trial & Error, The Dock Brief starred Peter Sellers as Wilfred Morganhall, a long-in-the-tooth barrister whose career has been blighted at every turn by a lack of opportunities. One day, however, his hopes are answered when he is appointed Defence Counsel to Herbert Fowle, a meek, humourless uxoricide (Richard Attenborough). The two strike up an unusual friendship and find the only way to transcend their mutual hopelessness is through the power of imagination and whimsy, until real life puts an end to their daydreaming and they land back to earth with a resounding thump. The Dock Brief was written by John Mortimer of Rumpole fame, based on his play, and features a solid score by Ron Grainer, plus David Lodge, fourth billed, as a cackling ex-copper called Frank Bateson whose relationship with Mrs Fowle (Beryl Reid) leaves budgie-fancier Herbert hopeful of an end to his problems. When events don't go as expected Herbert cracks and finds himself in a gaol cell. Returning guest Roger Stevenson joins Tyler to talk about this rarely-examined Sellers film, made more or less before his international fame skyrocketed. Warning: contains spoilers! Well, it WAS made over sixty years ago!

The A-Z of Q - Part One! Writer & podcaster Adam Leslie joins Tyler for the first of a two-parter, examining Spike Milligan's Q series on BBC Television, from Q5 in 1969 to Q9 in 1980 (there was also There's A Lot of It About in 1982 but we don't really talk about that). It was heralded as a massively influential show, particularly upon the group which would shortly after the transmission of Q5 come together to create Monty Python's Flying Circus, yet by the end, while it was still extremely funny in places, it was showing its age with some of Spike's comedy stylings seeming creaky when compared to those hip and happenin' young comedy turks behind Not The Nine O'Clock News. Adam & Tyler run through Q from A-N this week, taking in such topics as David Lodge's greatest film, Jehovah's Burglars, bosoms & battleaxes, raspberries, Michael Parkinson with a Black & Decker and much much more! There's also some background to the creation of Q5 and a salute to the many stalwart regulars, including the aforementioned Lodge, Bob Todd and, of course, John Bluthal. Next week: O-Z!

Welcome back to purgatory!!! This week Jo, Mike and Jeremy do a commentary for Edge of Sanity from 1989 and directed by Genard Kikoine and starring Anthony Perkins, Gylnis Barber, Sarah Maur Ward, David Lodge, Jill Melford, Lisa Davis and Briony McRoberts! Thanks for checkin us out and find out back catalogue on podbean.com  Intro Opening-By Frederic Talgron https://youtu.be/BCnnpZhB438 Outro- The Frayed ends of sanity by Metallica  https://youtu.be/x6wxm0POHBE  

"Who would have suspected him? I mean, nobody ever noticed him. I never did." In 1969 Canadian director Alvin Rakoff directed a big screen version of his successful television play Call Me Daddy, which had starred Donald Pleasance and Judy 'Keeping Up Appearances' Cornwell. Now renamed Hoffman, the film starred Peter Sellers and newcomer Sinead Cusack. Benjamin Hoffman, a manager at a cigarette company, blackmails one of the office girls into staying with him at his flat for a week. His intentions are never wholly made explicit but Janet Smith (Cusack) has a pretty good idea and very reluctantly agrees. As the days go by very gradually the power dynamic shifts and we come to recognise Hoffman for what he really is: a rather sad, pathetic figure. Sellers famously hated this film, or didn't hate this film, depending on who you spoke to - but in any case he saw in the character of Hoffman too many traits which sat uncomfortably close to home. Some good did come out of it, in a way - he enjoyed a brief romance with Cusack which ended almost as soon as it began. And the film is quite absorbing, even if some of the content and themes are problematic when viewed from a 21st century perspective. It is pretty much a two-hander (the supporting cast, including Jeremy Bulloch and David Lodge, don't get much to do) and hardly full of belly laughs but is amusing enough in its own way. Joining Tyler to talk about it is actor Patrick Strain and among the many questions raised is "Could you make it today?" Patrick was introduced to Sellers' film work via three relatively cosy black & white British comedies and then this film - QUITE the gear change! As he explains, it's a film he's fond of as much for the history and background of its production as for the finished product. The film was recently released on blu-ray with oodles of extra features including an essay by former Goon Pod guest and host of Smersh Pod John Rain.

Rev. Don Davidson is out guest preacher today.  He tells us that in life we will have times of trials and troubles, they are unavoidable.  But God is there for us, taking care of us as we look to him for strength.  Listen in as he elaborates.

Inger's dusty in this episode, after an epic David Lodge style dinner party the night before, but her blood pressure is the best her doctor has seen in years. By the time you listen to this she'll be in Cambridge, punting or something.Jason didn't win the annual hot cross bun off, but did invite Inger into the WhatsApp group so she could share the fun this year. There is also an unexpectedly long digression about workplace exploitation, so - a normal catch up.There was nothing in the mailbag! [28:53] (although we did get a bunch of letters the day after we recorded this, so some of you still love us- thank you). In the work problems segment [30:47] we talk about the new book from Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner called 'How big things get done', which Inger partially distilled into a Discussion Guide. It's an excellent book and Inger sees a lot of cross overs between how high speed rail projects fail and the length of time most people take to get a PhD. Enough crossovers at least to get on her ranty high horse, like - a lot. Jason listens patiently while she has All The Feelings about the PhD. Again.Moving on. Jason's been reading The Upside of irrationality, while Inger's been reading Navy SEALS romances (again) [1:14:06]. The real surprise is left for the end of this episode: the 2 minute tips section [1:17:37] which turns into an epic, agonised conversation about just how much of our jobs to delegate to ChattieG and the future of the university. It's heavy. You may need a drink or four, just like Inger did the night before. Leave us a message on www.speakpipe.com/thesiswhisperer. Email Inger, she's easy to find. You will not be able to find Jason's email (he likes it that way).Talk to us on BlueSky by following @thesiswhisperer and @drjd. Inger is sadly addicted to Threads, but cannot convince JD to join. You can find her there, and on all the Socials actually, as @thesiswhisperer. You can read her stuff on www.thesiswhisperer.com. You can support the pod by buying our Text Expander guide for academics from the Thesis Whisperer website.

If there's one thing the public cannot reach agreement on it's what was the greatest British black & white Peter Sellers film of all time. There is obviously a strong groundswell of support for that popular favourite, I'm All Right Jack, while trendier types (sneering metropolitan elites looking down on the hoi polloi) insist that Only Two Can Play is far superior. Others argue for The Naked Truth, with some justification, while a handful of nitwits push for The Ladykillers, completely misunderstanding the notion of 'black & white' as opposed to 'colour'. However, they are all wrong. Sensible people everywhere acknowledge that the correct answer is Two Way Stretch from 1960, a film which has only gained in popularity over the years. Directed by Robert Day from an original screenplay by John Warren & Len Heath (and with additional dialogue by Alan Hackney, writer of I'm All Right Jack), the working title for the film was Nothing Barred and it clearly provided inspiration for one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time - Porridge. It reunites Sellers with his 'Jack co-stars Irene Handl and Liz Fraser and teams him up with David Lodge and Bernard Cribbins, but the film's most memorable performance is delivered by the peerless Lionel Jeffries as Chief Officer Crout. Joining Tyler this week to do a bit of stir is returning guest Jeremy Limb - musician, actor and one third of The Trap.

durée : 01:51:30 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - En 2002, les "Grandes traversée" proposaient cinq documentaires sur Margaret Thatcher, Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni de 1979 à 1990. Le dernier épisode de la série s'intitule "La Chute" et évoque la fin de la carrière politique de la "Dame de fer". Le cinquième épisode de La Grande traversée que Judith Perrignon consacrait à Margaret Thatcher en 2020 s'intéressait aux circonstances dans lesquelles elle fut contrainte de quitter le pouvoir en 1990 et à ce que furent les dernières années de sa vie. On se penchait également sur les motifs de la fronde, menée contre elle au sein même de son cabinet et du Parti Conservateur, qui l'avaient expulsée du 10 Downing Street où elle avait passé plus de onze années. Se voyant davantage d'avenir sans elle qu'avec elle, bon nombre de ceux qui l'avaient propulsée au pourvoir en 1979 lui reprochaient alors de multiplier les mesures impopulaires, comme la Poll Tax, et sa réticence à une plus forte implication de la Grande-Bretagne dans l'Union Européenne. Ce qui était aussi souligné dans ce documentaire, y compris par certains de ses plus fidèles soutiens, c'était l'exaspération et la lassitude qu'avait fait naître dans son propre camp un Premier Ministre absolument convaincu de son infaillibilité. Hubert Védrine, qui fut le Ministre des Affaires étrangères français de 1997 à 2002, se souvient de son caractère : Elle avait une énorme autorité, un vrai leadership et elle tranchait, ce n'est pas quelqu'un qui hésitait. Elle est combative, elle est énergique, dynamique, toujours très courtoise. Elle parle un très bon anglais, très articulé très construit intellectuellement. Sa position sur L'Europe : Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait de lien entre le thatchérisme de l'époque, qui découle d'une vision purement comptable on va dire. Elle veut que l'Europe rapporte autant à la Grande-Bretagne que ce qu'elle lui coûte. "I want my money back" c'est sa position de base, qui est maintenant très majoritaire dans l'Europe de 2020, mais ce n'est pas à cause de Thatcher. On ne peut pas mélanger les époques. Elle a une position britannique classique sauf qu'elle l'exprime carrément, sans détour. Charles Powell, qui fut l'un des principaux conseillers en politique étrangère de Margaret Thatcher, reconnait qu'elle "était extrêmement favorable au marché unique" mais méfiante sur certains points, dont la réunification de l'Allemagne : Elle était de cette génération qui a grandi dans les années 30, dans l'ombre de la montée du nazisme en Allemagne et cela a façonné certaines choses, en particulier sa vision de l'Allemagne. Elle savait très bien que celle-ci n'était plus le même pays que dans les années 30, mais elle n'a jamais pu se défaire de la crainte de voir l'Allemagne retomber un jour dans ses anciens travers. Le caractère et la vision du monde de la "Dame de Fer" sont évoqués par Neil Kinnock, Hubert Védrine, Charles Moore, Charles Powell, Kenneth Clarke, David Lodge, Danny Morrison et , Sean Murray qui analysent ses relations avec les grands puissants du monde des années 80, qui allait voir l'implosion de l'URSS. Pour finir, la voix irlandaise de Sean Murray, qui se souvenait de Bobby Sands, martyre du conflit en Irlande du Nord rappelait que le jour des funérailles de Margaret Thatcher on faisait la fête dans certaines rues de Grande-Bretagne, en particulier dans les régions minières.

This week Tom briefly revisits his theme of local high school dances of yesteryear that featured live bands, give you a preview of some very worldly artists in the lineup for Summerfolk this year and play some tracks to convince you to come out to Electric Eclectics' event at Black Bellows on June 18. In the first camp, tracks from Perth County Conspiracy, Liverpool, Peter Schilling (a German star who scored a hit with english lyrics by Wiarton's David Lodge) and the Forgotten Rebels. To bridge the themes, a 2004 track by Beverley Glenn Copeland, who played OSCVI and the first two Summerfolks. Coming to Summerfolk this year: Cuban powerhouse Okan with a track featuring Rauzzy Ferrer, the world fusion of Moskitto Bar, Anishnabek artist Aysanabee and the amazing Estonian duo Puuluup. Hear a real stunner from South Africa's Abdullah Ibrahim aka Dollar Brand in honour of the Durham Sauntering Band's performance of the track in Owen Sound's Earth Day Parade. Finally, we wrap up with tracks from Debby Friday, Zones and Lee Paradise, who will be on the bill (with a few others) for Electric Eclectic's June 18 shindig.

An hour of radio dedicated to the bands who played Owen Sound Collegiate and West Hill Secondary in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Tune in to hear Perth County Conspiracy, Major Hoople's Boarding House (featuring Wiarton's own David Lodge), Frank Soda & the Imps, FM with Nash the Slash, Rush, and a bracer of timeless AM gold: Copper Penny, The Stampeders, Edward Bear, April Wine, Saga, Max Webster, Triumph, and a wild live cut from Lighthouse. To wrap things up a heater from Toronto's Ugly Ducklings (who played Port Elgin once upon a time) as a stand in for foundational O.S. bands The Rembrandts, The Krossing, Factory and The Tombstones.

Corps blimey! Live from a stench packing factory is this week's guest: writer and podcaster John Rain, the man behind the mighty Smersh Pod and author of the recently published Explodobook (available from all good Amazons) John first heard The Goon Show as a young shaver and joins the pod this week to talk about an episode very dear to his heart: The Case of the Missing C.D. Plates from Series 6. Among other things we discuss the irredeemable Denis Bloodnok, the irreproachable Peter Cushing, the irreverent Ruxton Hayward and the irreplaceable Wallace Greenslade (and I apologise in advance!) as well as the delightfulness of extended corpsing, The Man From Laramie, the problems with The Last Goon Show Of All, David Lodge in Cockleshell Heroes and Bill Maynard's Crumpet Code of Ethics™. All this and much much more!

David Lodge meets Franz Kafka meets Stephen King? All attempts to classify The Scapegoat, let alone to summarize what happens in this compelling and terribly troubling first novel by Sara Davis, seem destined to fail. As the author tells Duncan McCargo, her book has not always been understood by readers in the ways she imagined - but then, The Scapegoat (Farrer, Straus and Giroux 2021) is now out of her hands. In this lively conversation full of laughter, Sara explains how in her next book she hopes to achieve "a more intentionally calibrated level of confusion". The Scapegoat tells the story of an unnamed university employee on a campus eerily reminiscent of Stanford, who struggles to maintain his grip on reality after the demise of his father and a series of strange incidents that follow - which Sara insists are nevertheless "real world and non-fantastical". Dear reader, no online blurb can do justice to this unusual book: just listen to Sara's remarkable voice in this podcast, and then buy yourself a copy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Na edição nº 3 (T4) da rúbrica FAZ-TE AO LIVRO, a aluna do AE Infias, Marta Fernandes do 11ºA, sugere o livro A VIDA EM SURDINA de David Lodge. 21-10-2019

In today’s episode we explore Nice Work, David Lodge’s award-winning 1989 drama serial for BBC2 with Warren Clarke and Haydn Gwynne. It’s the tale of two people who are suddenly exposed to new and previously alien worlds, an English Literature lecturer, Dr Robyn Penrose and factory manager, Vic Wilcox. It also speaks to the broader canvas of the late Eighties commercialisation of Universities and the collapse of old-fashioned industrial firms. Nice Work also deliberately parodies the very Victorian novels that Penrose herself teaches her largely middle-class students about. But will our romantic leads have a happy ending? Will there be any proposals, sudden bequests, or deaths? All this and a Jennifer Rush soundtrack, a trip to Dusseldorf, and a pleasing equality of bare bottoms. Next Time: Our Friends in the North

Tracking The Spread Of The Coronavirus Outbreak This week, the World Health Organization declared that the coronavirus outbreak—which began in Wuhan, China—is a public health emergency of international concern. Nearly 8,000 cases have been confirmed worldwide. Chinese scientists sequenced the genome of the virus from some of the patients who were infected early on in the outbreak. Virologist Kristian Andersen discusses how the genetics of the virus can provide clues to how it is transmitted and may be used for diagnostic tests and vaccines. Plus, infectious disease specialist Michael Osterholm talks about the effectiveness of quarantines and what types of measures could be put in place to halt the spread of the pathogen. Putting Invasive Species On Trial When species that have existed in one place for a long time are transported to new ecosystems, there are a few possible outcomes. First, nothing could happen. That flower, fish, or flying insect could find the new environment too hostile. In other cases, the new arrival may succeed and multiply just enough to establish itself in the food chain alongside the native species. But a small fraction of wayward species can go on to dominate. They out-compete an established species so well that they may take over their new home, and change the way a food web functions. Think garlic mustard, jumping worms, and emerald ash borer beetles. And in The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, this winter’s Science Friday Book Club pick, journalist Dan Egan recounts how exposing lakes Michigan, Huron, Ontario, Superior, and Erie to new species had devastating effects on the ecosystems of each lake—first, blood-sucking sea lampreys decimated native lake trout, then tiny alewives exploded in population. Ship-transported round gobies, quagga and zebra mussels, spiny waterfleas, and more have since come on the scene. It’s no surprise that ecologists have had close eyes on the lakes for decades. And now, with species of potentially invasive Asian carp poised to enter from the Mississippi River basin, many wonder what’s next for the Great Lakes’ flora and fauna.  Conservation biologist David Lodge, who helped pioneer the eDNA method for tracking Asian carp, joins University of Michigan ecologist Karen Alofs to talk about how new species become invasive and how biologists decide what to prevent, what to protect, and, sometimes, what changes to accept. When A Correction May Not Be Helpful New work relating to messages about the Zika virus and yellow fever published this week in the journal Science Advances indicates that delivering accurate messaging may be harder than you think. Brendan Nyhan, a professor of government at Dartmouth College and one of the authors of the report, joins Ira to talk about the study and what lessons it might hold for educating people about other public health risks. A Close Call Collision In Near-Earth Orbit On Wednesday night, skywatchers near Pittsburgh looked up, watching, just in case there was a collision in space. Two satellites, an old U.S. Air Force satellite and a nonfunctioning orbital telescope, narrowly avoided collision, passing as close as 40 feet from each other. One estimate ranked the odds of collision at 1 in 20. Amy Nordrum, news editor at IEEE Spectrum, joins Ira to talk about the problem of orbital debris and other stories from the week in science.

What is your favorite satirical take on higher education? Maybe Jane Smiley’s "Moo." Or Don DeLillo’s "White Noise"? Or it could be Rodney Dangerfield’s "Back to School." Let’s face it, there almost endless works of fiction poking fun at academic life. As the summer ends and we head into the fall semester, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate this rich tradition of parody of academic life, and look at what these works say about the big challenges facing higher education today. For this episode, we talk to three different writing professors with something to say about satire. One is the author of an acclaimed academic satire. Another did an unusual work of satire on Twitter to call attention to the plight of adjuncts. And the third has a suggestion for the academic satire that he wishes someone out there would write.

Message: The gospel according to LukeText: Luke 12:54-59Be ready, one eye always on eternityThe British novelist and playwright David Lodge was watching one of his own creations, a satirical revue, the evening of Nov. 22, 1963. The theater audience chuckled as an actor in the play showed up for a job interview with a radio clutched to his ear, demonstrating his character's indifference. The actor then set down the radio and turned to a station, lettings its news, music, or commercials play in the background while the play went on. This night, however, a voice came on the radio with a live news bulletin: "Today, the American President John. F. Kennedy was assassinated…" The audience gasped and the actor immediately switched off the radio, but too late. In one sentence, the reality of the outside world had shattered the artificial world of the theater production. Suddenly, whatever action took place onstage seemed superficial and irrelevant.

Lydia Kiesling tricked herself into writing a novel by starting with small vignettes about her feelings as a new parent and setting them in a northern California that's rarely explored in literature. The result of tying those scenes together is her excellent debut, THE GOLDEN STATE. She and James talk about her work as editor of THE MILLIONS, spreadsheets, local newspapers, present tense, and barfing toddlers.

Ask for a policeman and three turn up...or do they? Gary and Tilt are joined by Tyler Adams for a fun discussion on the ubiquitous actor David Lodge.

SynTalk thinks about narratives & stories, while constantly wondering whether it is the stories that ‘make us up’ and give us our self-hood. We delve into the worlds of literature, film making, video games, philosophy, cognitive sciences, and linguistics to explore why & how we tell & understand stories. The concepts are derived off / from Aristotle, Coleridge, Diderot, Georges Polti, Hitchcock, Labov, E M Forster, Lumière brothers, de Beauvoir, Augusto Boal, Chomsky, Salim-Javed, David Lodge, & Dennett, among others. How identity, time, memory, & emotions are knotted together by fiction. Is story telling like a flight simulator, with most of the rewards but none of the risk? How narratives however, are not synonymous with fiction and, cover both fact & fiction. Do we remember narratively, & create causal links (with mnemonic durability) between the past, present and the possible futures? The difference of a story from a (film) script, & the importance of the dramatic centre? Is narrative experience a (playful) exploration of the space of possibilities – i.e., is all fiction a game? How incompleteness is also a valid possibility in narratives. Why are morals so critical in any satisfying story? How important is it to have a sense of the ending, & how can one return the narrative time to the present? And, in the face of the crisis of our death, is our life more like episodic TV serials, rather than a Greek tragedy? Is lying or cheating a related ability to telling stories? Are stories (video games) more about tying (dying) and untying (undying)? Are there cultures without stories? How there are real physiological reactions and a willing suspension of disbelief on seeing (say) a film in a dark theatre. How can a screenwriter be moved to tears by her own story? Why can’t there be stories without characters or emotions? Are there only a finite number of plots or narratives? What do you see when you look into the mirror in a first-person shooter game? Is there a serial killer inside you? The links between ‘queen died’, 36, spect-actor, chaos, Gilgamesh, Spiderman, Flower, Lagaan, Alzheimer’s, Max Payne, jumping over the chair, alienation, Psycho Mantis, & cheat codes. How are we able to create stories, but are not able to count the number of words in our head? Is social reality the most fictionalized, & is monologue always secondary to collaborative dialogue in story telling? Why aren’t video games laugh-out-aloud funny, & does it have anything to do with the fact that you can’t tickle yourself? Is the future of fiction likely to involve a range of affects & small scale emotions? Can the story strike back at the player (or the reader)? The SynTalkrs are: Dr. Souvik Mukherjee (game studies, literature, Presidency University, Kolkata), Prof. Rukmini Bhaya Nair (linguistics, narrative theory, IIT Delhi, New Delhi), & Anjum Rajabali (screenwriting, Mumbai).

The past, present and future walk into a bar. Bartender says, "you need a drink. You're tense." Here is a discussion offering some funny books to read. Here also are some satires. Here are some books that are laugh out loud funny and some that might need some historical context to truly get the jokes. Also here, a discussion we just started, really.What is the difference between comedy and satire? Here is a web-based definition I found helpful.  http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-comedy-and-satire.htm#didyouknowout“Comedy and satire are different in that comedy is a much broader genre. All satire is comedy, but not all comedy is satire. Comedy includes everything from intelligent, witty repartees and dark humor to slapstick and baseline jokes. Satire, on the other hand, is a literary genre primarily focused on highbrow social criticism. “Though even here, the lines sure seem to blur. What is the difference between highbrow and lowbrow these days?  Isn’t there lowbrow satire? Southpark comes to mind. The Daily Show is a mix of highbrow and lowbrow that often offers trenchant social criticism.  And who is to say what is laugh out loud funny? It’s all so personal.Anyway, here are a few of the books we discussed.Won’t you add to our list of comedy books?Inherent Vice, by Thomas PynchonThe Bear Went Over The Mountain, by William KotzwinkleThe Evolution Man or How I Ate My Father, by Roy LewisBossypants, by Tina FeyThe One Hundred Year Old Many Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared, by David LodgeVanity Fair, William Thackeray.Where’d you go Bernadette, Maria SempleCheaper by the Dozen, Frank B.
