Summary: Hm, is that sound of screaming from the joy of a roller coaster or a stabbing? Today our hosts discuss books set in Theme Parks! Whether like Holly you're more drawn to the magic and experience of places like DisneyLand or you're like Devin chasing adrenaline on some of the fastest and most intense roller coasters on earth, there are books that can give you the thrill you're looking for.  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (6:53): Holly discussed FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven, a horror book reminiscent of an adult Lord of the Flies. After a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates FantasticLand, a theme park where “Fun is Guaranteed!,” employees agree to stay behind to make sure the park isn't looted and are promised to be paid to do so. Five weeks later, rescue crews arrive to find heads on spikes, bodies lined up, and employees split into warring factions. Holly's key takeaways were: The story fills in the gaps between the hurricane and what the rescue crews discovered through various POVs; a journalist interviews various people involved after the fact. Since the story is told through multiple interviews, readers must decide which accounts to believe, as survivors may be unreliable or have their own agendas. The novel highlights how quickly social norms break down when survival is at stake. Cut off from the outside world, the employees turn to tribalism, reinforcing the idea that without structure, humans can revert to their most primal instincts.  The theme park itself provided a unique structure and setting for such an intense plot; the factions of employees were named after the rides near them such as the Pirates, the ShopGirls as they resort to violence while competing for food, medicine, and social dominance in what had been a whimsical space.  The Heart (19:48): Devin discussed Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan, a YA romance following Elouise (Lou) Parker and her group of friends at their summer jobs at Magic Castle Playland, a run-down local theme park in their town. Lou suffers her junior year summer wearing a giant hot dog suit around the park, while her love interest Nick gets to be a Diving Pirate dating Jessa, a princess. The news that the park will be shutting down at the end of the summer, Lou takes matters into her own hands to ensure that she has the summer of her dreams - from saving the park to fake-dating her best friend, Seeley, so she can ultimately win her man. Devin's key takeaways were:  Magic Castle Playland is like any local, run down park that you've ever been to and it's nostalgic in the way it is so typical. A large portion of the plot is dedicated to Lou's increasingly desperate attempts to keep the park from closing and the park itself acts as a mirror and a foil for her own immaturity and growth.   The fake dating between Lou and Seeley in order to break another couple up was a challenging part of the story, especially when it's a bi woman doing it with a lesbian to win a cis het man. There's a stereotype of bi women (and men, but mostly women): they lead people on, they're greedy, they can't make up their minds, and this book fed into that stereotype.  The “young adult” aspect of this book really shone through. Nick and Seeley were mature, kind, and measured throughout but everyone else was very in their teenage years. Getting the story from Lou's perspective was at times agonizing; a blend of being so accurate to a dumb teenager's brain and Lou's own meddling and dramatic rhetoric.  Hot On the Shelf (36:51): Holly: Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy Devin: I Think They Love You by Julian Winters What's Making Our Hearts Race (40:22): Holly: Holly's Literary Magic Substack Devin: Mythic Quest on AppleTV   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Hablamos con la escritora y nos presentó su nuevo libro “Fantasticland”.

Ariana Harwicz nació en Buenos Aires, en 1977. Desde el año 2007 vive en Francia, en el campo. Es autora de las revulsivas, premiadas y celebradas novelas Mátate, amor, La débil mental, Precoz y Degenerado. Junto con Mikael Gómez Guthart escribió en ensayo Desertar. Sus libros fueron traducidos a varias lenguas, sus novelas fueron adaptadas al teatro y Mátate, amor será llevada al cine en 2024, producida por Martin Scorsese y protagonizada por Jennifer Lawrence. Habitualmente publica ensayos y relatos en diarios y revistas de todo el mundo. El ruido de una época, publicado por Marciana, fue libro visto antes de producirse. En lugar de que la autora lo ofreciera a una editorial fueron los editores los que buscaron a la escritora. En los últimos años Harwicz viene publicando en redes y en medios su mirada crítica de la era de la cancelación y del arte bienpensante, así que los editores le propusieron reunir escritos, reescribir y escribir ad hoc, con el propósito de publicar un libro que pusiera a la vista este conjunto de ideas subversivas. En el centro de los textos hay un cuestionamiento fundamental: para Harwicz, es una contradicción lógica para un artista someterse a las reglas impuestas por la sociedad de su tiempo. Lejos de cualquier matiz de corrección política y sin miedo a las palabras, Ariana Harwicz interviene en la escena pública para discutir lo que se da por sentado y para encender el fuego del debate artístico e intelectual, que parece haber sido reemplazado por los likes de las redes. “Lo políticamente correcto es la gangrena del arte de este siglo”, dice al comienzo de su nuevo libro. Y luego avanza, cuchillo en mano, intentando desbrozar las nuevas reglas de la cultura, en las que la posible ofensa por discriminación u odio domina el territorio por encima de la ambigüedad y la necesidad de todo artista de crear un lenguaje. En la sección En voz alta Gustavo Nielsen leyó una copla que escribió Leopoldo Brizuela cuando tenía 13 años. Gustavo Nielsen nació en Buenos Aires en 1962. Es arquitecto y escritor. Tiene varios libros publicados: “Playa quemada”, “La flor azteca”, “La fe ciega”, “El amor enfermo”, “Auschwitz”, “El corazón de Doli”, “El contagio social”, entre otros. Con “Marvin” obtuvo el Premio Municipal de Literatura en cuento y con “La otra playa” el Premio Clarín de Novela." Nielsen acaba de publicar una colección de cuentos de fantasmas en los que el horror se conjuga con el humor y la ternura, con un título tan insólito como provocador: “fff”. Y en Bibliotecas, la escritora Ana Wajszczuk nos habló de los del historiador francés Ivan Jablonka, los novelistas Jonathan Franzen y Jeffrey Eugenides entre otros. Ana Wajszczuk nació en Quilmes, en 1975. Es editora y periodista. Sus artículos aparecieron en periódicos y revistas de Latinoamérica como La Nación (Costa Rica), GQ, SoHo, Radar, Clarín, La Nación Revista, Noticias, Rolling Stone y La Agenda de Buenos Aires, entre otros; también fue editora de la revista Los Inrockuptibles. Publicó Trópico Trip y El libro de los polacos y la no ficción Chicos de Varsovia (2017), adaptado al teatro y premiado por el Estado y la TV de Polonia y elegido como uno de los 20 libros latinoamericanos del año por el diario El País (España) y acaba de publicar la novela “Fantasticland”, una novela íntima y realista con una visión única y personal de la maternidad narrada con desenfado y gracia. En la sección Bienvenidos, Hinde habló de “Tulio Halperín Donghi. La Herencia Está Ahí: Diez Entrevista” compilado por Javier Trímboli (Omnívora), “En cuatro palabras”, de Pablo Pschepiurca (Paradiso) y “Jim Click o la invención maravillosa”, de Fernand Fleuret (Selva Canela) Y en Libros que sí recomendó “La mujer sin razón”, de María Martoccia (Beatriz Viterbo), “Diarios y cuadernos 1941-1995”, de Patricia Highsmith (Anagrama) y “La cabellera andante”, de Margo Glantz (El cuenco de plata) Y en Libros del estribo agradeció la recepción de “La gente tri...

#AhoraQueNosEscuchan | Ciclo 2023 Todos los miércoles a la medianoche por Radio Con Vos, la periodista Ingrid Beck lleva adelante este ciclo de entrevistas a mujeres que hicieron, hacen y van a hacer historia. En esta oportunidad conversa con la periodista y escritora Ana Wajszczuk, que acaba de publicar su novela "Fantasticland". "Cuando sos madre te das cuenta de que sola no podés. Las redes de apoyo son fundamentales. Sobre una recaen unos pesos que si no son repartidos te abruman y te ahogan", reflexiona.

Federico Lorenz nació en Buenos Aires, en 1970. Es historiador, docente y escritor. Es uno de los más grandes expertos argentinos en el tema Malvinas y es investigador del Conicet. Fue director del Museo Malvinas e Islas del Atlántico Sur entre 2016 y 2018 y es profesor en el Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires. Ha escrito tanto desde el ensayo como desde la ficción sobre la violencia política de la década de 1970, las relaciones entre Historia, memoria y Educación, crónicas de viaje y la historia sociocultural de la guerra. Es autor de, entre otros libros, Cenizas que te rodearon al caer. Vidas y muertes de Ana María González, la montonera que mató al jefe de la Policía Federal (2017), La llamada. Historia de un rumor de la posguerra de Malvinas (2017), Las guerras por Malvinas (2012); Los zapatos de Carlito. Una historia de los trabajadores navales de Tigre en la década del setenta (2007); Combates por la memoria. Huellas de la dictadura en la Historia (2007), Fantasmas de Malvinas. Un libro de viajes (2008); Malvinas. Una guerra argentina (2009); Algo parecido a la felicidad. Una historia de la lucha de la clase trabajadora argentina, 1973-1978 (2013); y Unas islas demasiado famosas. Malvinas, historia y política (2013). Lorenz escribió las novelas Montoneros o la ballena blanca, Los muertos de nuestras guerras, Komorebi y Para un soldado desconocido. Su última novela es La balada de Jimmy Cross, un relato de aventuras que transcurre entre el final del siglo XIX y mediados del siglo veinte, con un protagonista que nace en las islas y que sabe que no debe alejarse del mar, que le da de comer y le da vida. Hay marinos, loberos, ovejeros y soldados. Hay también trabajadores anarquistas. La Primera Guerra Mundial y la huelga obrera de la Patagonia trágica también tienen espacio en la novela de Lorenz que, además de contar la historia de Jimmy, de su familia y de su entorno y de su amor por una única mujer, busca responder a la pregunta por la identidad y la lealtad a los orígenes, sobre todo cuando no hay claridad sobre adónde pertenecemos. En la sección En voz alta, Maxi Legnani leyó un fragmento del poema “De mis tiempos” de María Elena Walsh. Maximiliano Legnani es periodista, conductor y escritor. Actualmente, conduce diversos programas en radio y televisión, incluyendo un ciclo dedicado a la literatura, llamado Biblioteca iP (por el canal iP Noticias) y otro dedicado a la publicidad de bien público, en la TV Pública. Publicó tres libros de poesía: Los rostros del fuego , Umbral y La lengua del silencio y acaba de editar “Resurrecciones” por Ediciones en Danza.

Especializada en teoría literaria y literatura latinoamericana contemporánea, obtuvo un doctorado en Princeton University y un posdoctorado en la Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Es investigadora del Conicet, ha sido  y enseña en la Universidad de San Andrés. Publicó entre otros libros Genealogías culturales.

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome comedian Quincy Johnson II for a conversation about old timey radio... but also a lot of other stuff.

I still feel very strongly about her stance and her very public opinions, but I would like to say that her opinions are garbage, not she as a person. I humbly accept this correction from our many listeners who have pointed it out as going too far.

How coronavirus has impacted Liz’s reading…including pushing her to re-read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Book NotesAdam recommends: The Wild Book by Margarita Engle Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds Michael recommends: FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven Slash by Hunter Shea Carrie recommends:  History of the Rain by Niall Williams The Hearts of Horses by Molly Gloss Bite Notes For The Wild Book's bubbly, colorful story, make Fizz and Fruit Popsicles from Raquel Rabade Roque's The Cuban Kitchen Cuisine. Accompany the psychological turmoil of Long Way Down with “Eggs in Purgatory,” found in Questlove's Mixtape Potluck Cookbook. After a harrowing day spent at FantasticLand, whip up a batch of Grilled Cheese Dogs. There's nothing better than coming home to a hot bowl of Cholent after surviving a frigid night of being hunted by the Wraith in the ruins of the Hayden Resort. Pair History of the Rain with The Good Shepherd's Pie, a vegan update of the classic Irish shepherd's pie that you can find in Jae Steele's cookbook Get it Ripe: A Fresh Take on Vegan Cooking and Living.  Enjoy The Hearts of Horses with a meatless—or nearly meatless—soup made with whatever ingredients you have on hand. Tamar Adler's minestrone recipe offers lots of suggestions for seasonal substitutions. You can find it in her book An Everlasting Mealor on Saveur.com.

Author, father, groovy guy. Has come to us from Nebraska sky. And thus we three, a podcast had. Mike Bockoven talks Vincent Price on This Is Rad!   This week we welcome FantasticLand author Mike Bockoven to the podcast. As anyone listening in the last few months know, Mike's book FantasticLand is one of Kyle's new favorite books. Mike was in SoCal for a wedding and we were lucky enough to convince him to come hang with us. We talk plenty about Mike's awesome book including where the idea came from and the process of getting it written while balancing a job and a family (super inspiring stuff!) plus Mike also celebrates the illustrious career of Vincent Price. You'll learn a ton of stuff about the iconic actor that you might not have known. It's an interesting guy coming on to talk about another interesting guy. Plus we answer listener questions about both Vincent Price's career along with some fun questions about Mike's book. If you haven't checked out FantasticLand you owe it to yourself to give it a read. Plus, his next book The Pack is out this July.   Weekly Rads: Kyle: The Lucky Chops (band) Matthew: LAN Parties!

As 2017 draws to a close, the gang meet up and Burnside and Laura's house to reflect on the past year. Now, before you run away screaming, we did a pretty good job of trying to find plenty of good that happened this year in and amongst some of the crappier parts of the year. We chat about movies, we let Burnside really go nuts talking about games (after all, this might be one of the best years for video games ever), we chat about some music we really liked this year, and Kyle shamelessly plugs “FantasticLand” again. Plus, everybody talks about how they have grown as people and how the podcast has been evolving along with those changes. But not matter what changes, just know that This Is Rad is gonna be right here every week with more rad stuff and rad people. We would also like to take a quick moment to thank everyone who listens to the show. When we started we had no idea if anyone would ever listen to the show and we honestly believe we have the coolest listeners in all of podcastland. You are all truly rad. Happy New Year!   No weekly rads this week but instead, tickets are almost sold out for the Yukon Comedy Festival. If you live in the great white north or just want to have an adventure with the Rad Gang (along with Mr. Goodnight and Rivers Langley of The Goods From The Woods). Plus, TIR will be doing it's first ever live show at the festival! Go to http://yukoncomedyfestival.com for tickets and information!

This podcast was 98 pounds of solid rad until it became... The Toxic Rad-venger! This week Radtober comes to a close for another year with a visit from director/podcaster/fart enthusiast Joe Lynch! The guys have a nice chat about where is the best place in Disneyland to let out farts. They also talk about extreme cinema and the type of person that chases movies that give you a visceral reaction. Yet again, like the Ghosts of the Comedy Store episode marvel as both Kyle and Matthew lean back and let an expert storyteller regal the boys with some insane stories. Troma is one of the longest running indie film company in America and has created and distributed some of the most insane movies ever made. Joe got a front row seat to experience the second wave of Troma's success in the mid to late 90's and man does he have some incredible stories. If you've ever wanted to hear a story about a guy walking in the snow covered in puke wearing a Toxic Avenger costume you have come to the right place. Check out Joe's new movie “Mayhem” starring The Walking Dead's Stephen Yeun out in theaters and on VOD November 10th!   Weekly Rads: South Park: The Fractured But Whole (video game)  FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven (novel)
