Podcasts about desert island books

We realised one day that we'd talked about our "desert island movies" and "desert island TV" choices, but not considered our BOOK choices. Time to rectify that oversight! We discuss four types of book: science fiction novels; science fiction short story collections/anthologies; books which are SF-adjacent in some way; and books which have nothing at all to do with SF. You're bound to recognise some of these, but we might have a few surprises or obscurities. Listen and find out! And don't forget to let us know about your favourites - by leaving a comment on our blog at ⁠⁠101sf.blogspot.com⁠⁠, or by finding us as Science Fiction 101 Podcast on Facebook.

Nicola May is a romcom superstar and the author of 16 romantic comedies, all of which have appeared in the Kindle Bestseller Chart. Two of them won awards at the Festival of Romance and another was named eBook of the week in The Sun. The Cornershop in Cockleberry Bay became the bestselling Kindle book in the UK across all genres in January 2019 and was Amazon's third best selling novel in that year. Nicola campaigned successfully for the introduction of eBook charts in the publishing trade press and was described by Winifred Robinson of BBC Radio 4's You and Yours as "the invisible bestselling author". And why is that? It's because Nicola is fabulously self-published.   Nicola's Book ChoicesBridget Jones's Diary by Helen FieldingThe Prophet by Kahil Gibran The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde PilcherOther Books MentionedNicola's Books Mentioned:The Cornershop In Cockleberry BayThe Hub Star Fish (dating the 12 signs of the Zodiac)Love Me TinderHead to nicolamay.com to find out more about her booksListener of the week (our very own producer Jeremy Chapman!)Why We Kneel, How We Rise by Michael HoldingJulia's Book Shooters (third week since launch)Don't forget you can still order Julia's romcom Shooters  on Amazon here.  Help keep it high in the charts!

At the end of the night, no one gets what they were looking for.On this episode’s Pop Culture section we focused on Schmidt’s Desert Island Book List, which are:Outliers by Macolm GladwellThe Prince by MachiavelliFreak by John LeguizamoVampire Diaries - Any scripts from the first season of Vampire DiariesPhantom Tollbooth by Norton JusterAdditional Pop Culture References such as:It’s Complicated - Schmidt references this to Winston as a not complicated movie. It’s Complicated is a Nancy Meyers movie about a couple reconnecting, but they're divorced and he's remarried.Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Jess, Oliver, and Schmidt are watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes when they get back to Oliver’s house for Jess’ one night stand. The Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a movie produced by the same production company as New Girl, Chernin Entertainment, in 2011.“Youths? Are you Officer Krupke?” - Jess says this to Schmidt when she hears him refer to young people as “youths”. Officer Krupke is the officer who is made fun of in the musical West Side Story.We also cover “Schmidtisms” when Schmidt is cheering Jess up at the end of the episode, and of course, we covered YOUTHS! For “Not in 2020” on this episode we discuss the way the writers addressed Schmidt’s repeated acknowledgement of Cece’s ethnicity and how that parallels with how Kyle interacts with her. Additionally, Julia uses the Chinese philosopher Confucius as a mean joke to her coworker. We also explore the careers of Clark Duke and Ryan Kwanten, the guest stars of this episode.This episode got an 8/10 rating from Kritika whose favorite character is Schmidt and Kelly rated this episode an 8/10 and her favorite character was Jess!Additionally in this podcast we discussed our Desert Island Books and while Kritika couldn’t choose one and defaulted to a Harry Potter book, Kelly’s choice was A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.Thanks for listening and stay tuned in two weeks for Episode 14!Music: "Hotshot” by scottholmesmusic.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram or email us at whosthatgirlpod@gmail.com!
