Back to normal! No guests this week, just a bunch of books to talk about, including some big names. Is Sam's mic kind of wonky early? Yes. Just get by that. It doesn't last long. And you really want to hear about: -  "Great Big Beautiful Life," by Emily Henry, which is just enough different from her previous beach reads to make a great beach read. It's a ridiculous biography contest set in Georgia.  - "The Name of this Band is R.E.M.," by Peter Ames Carlin, which Sam found a little boring, but it's hard to tell if that's just because R.E.M. is a boring band.  - "Raising Hare," by Chloe Dalton, which really is about raising a bunny, but not a bunny, a hare, which is a different mysterious kind of animal. Better than that sounds, though.  - "Everything is Tuberculosis," by John Green, which has a terrible name, but is very readable because John Green can write like crazy. This leads to talk about Reddit forums detailing woo-woo mom forum posting, for reasons, and discussion of the term "vlogger."  - "Whyte Python World Tour," by Travis Kennedy, an absolutely absurd and often funny tale of a hair-metal band secretly working for the CIA to bring down the Wall in the late 1980s. Sam doesn't know what to make of it.  - "Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries," by Heather Fawcett, which is delightful, about an academic cataloging faeries in Norway. It's cozy and quite charming.  Also, no, we didn't get this posted in time for Bookstore Day or the Literary Festival, but just try to look past that. It's already happened and you missed it. But there will be other stuff that's awesome in the future, we promise.

On Sunday, April 21st, car lovers, collectors and the simply curious will gather at the ACL Karting in Mondercange to celebrate vintage automotive beauty. Whether you're here to buy, sell or just admire. This is the ultimate fare for classic car enthusiasts in Luxembourg and those who just want to be taken into the past for a few hours.

If you're looking to buy a classic, this is your chance to see these legends up close. Chat with passionate owners and maybe even drive home with a piece of history. And if you have a vintage beauty of your own, this is the perfect opportunity to put it on the market and find a new owner. But the old timer market isn't just about transactions, it's about passion. These old timers are pieces of art crafted in an era where cars had souls, intricate details in their interiors, chrome finishes polished to perfection. And that magical dedication to creating a masterpiece on wheels. Some things just aren't made like they used to be. And if there is one thing that has changed, it's the way cars feel. Modern models might be packed with technology, but there is something special about the charm and character of these vintage classics. They were built with soul, designed to turn heads and crafted to last the old time. A market is a chance to step into that golden era where every car has a story. Every curve was designed with intention, and every enthusiast has a tale to tell.

This week, we discuss Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. Emily Wilde, professor of dryadology, journeys to a quiet village in the north to complete the research for her book by studying the Hidden Ones, or the fae, of Ljosland. Things start rough between Emily and the townfolk, but the appearance of academic rival, Wendell Bambleby, serves to create chaos while also endearing her to the people of Hrafnsvik. Emily and Wendell form a partnership that serves to further her data collection, while also driving her into greater danger.

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame
Jack Tame: Auckland FC is taking me away from Super Rugby

As a sports fan, I suppose it was actually a genuinely meaningful moment. I was sitting on the couch last night. 7.28pm. Sleeping baby in my arms. Remote in my hand. A decision to make. Do I watch Moana Pasifika play the Highlanders? Neither of which is my first choice team but Super Rugby is Super Rugby and it was a local derby, no less. Or do I switch channels and watch the Phoenix play Melbourne City in the A-League? Again, not a result I was particularly invested in or angsting over but a game I knew enough about to at least know it was being played. It's kind of ridiculous, the extent to which our household has been caught up in the Auckland FC ride. After we attended the first couple of games – and loved it – my wife ended up splurging on memberships for the rest of the season for me and our 8-year-old boy. From a live sport perspective, they've absolutely nailed a couple of fundamentals. For starters, there is an amazing family atmosphere. They've had various play areas for the kids: blow-up football arenas, a huge artificial beach behind one of the goals for the kids to make sandcastles, and an enormous blow-up slide stretching the length of the northern embankment, sliding down which on day one I very nearly lost my shorts. Games kick off at 5pm so you're home with the kids by 8pm at the latest. I think one of the most under-rated qualities is the stadium. Warriors fans know this, too. Go-Media (Mt Smart) was a sell-out last weekend for the derby. 27,000 people. The atmosphere was incredible! And while most games don't get quite that many fans, it's always closer to full than empty. You never get that feeling you sometimes get in big stadiums, when it feels like you're watching a game in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. I really hope sports administrators take note: it is so much better to watch live sport in a full mid-size stadium than to watch it an empty big stadium. Anyway..back to my decision. My vote with the remote. In some ways, I reckon the real measure of Auckland FC's success is the stuff on the periphery. The stuff that's bigger than the team. I'm not naïve enough to think they'll keep winning forever! Since the start of the A-League season, our boy has become obsessed with football. He spends hours in the backyard practising skills and accidentally kicking his ball into the neighbour's swimming pool. He went and picked up ‘The Encyclopaedia of Football' from the library, and makes me read to him as his bedtime story the excruciating detail contained within. Last week I had to read a whole chapter on football pitch turf preparation techniques. He's eight! He sat there, transfixed, as I ran through a paragraph on the drainage system at Wembley. And, if I'm honest, I have been affected too. At least I realised I have, last night, when instead of picking the game I would've picked to watch every Friday for the last thirty years, I switched from an exciting, close game of Super Rugby to the A-League instead. I switched from an exciting, close game of Super Rugby to the A-League instead. I wonder how many households in New Zealand might be doing the same.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 152Following on from my thoughts on A Midsummer Night's Dream last time I'm very pleased to welcome back Rachel Aanstad to the podcast for further thoughts on the play. You may remember from our previous conversation about Twelfth Night that Rachel has devoted a lifetime to both the study and presentation of Shakespeare plays and as with Twelfth Night she has written an Illustrated Handbook and Encyclopaedia on ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream'. This includes a complete rendition of the play along with a detailed glossary of terms, scene by scene analysis, an examination of characters and themes and practical advice for anyone directing, acting in or producing the play. I found it invaluable in helping me to solidify my thoughts about the play and highly recommend it, whatever your interest in the play. Rachel Aanstad is a writer, artist, historian and self-confessed Shakespeare nerd. She has an MFA in theatre and is the former Artistic Director of Rose City Shakespeare Company. She lives in the pacific Northwest from where she writes books about Shakespeare's plays. For our purposes today she is supremely well qualified to discuss ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream' as, apart from her lifelong love of the play and her academic study, she has directed three productions of the play, one that was circus based, one that was burlesque based and one audio production.

As you will hear our discussion became very much more wide ranging than that, as is often the way when we talk about Shakespeare.
