Mini book club: Grown Ups and My Favourite Mistake by Marian KeyesWell, there's been a huge gap in our reading: we've not read much/any Marian Keyes. So we thought we'd tackle some recent releases. Caitlin discusses Grown Ups (the only MK Michelle has read) while Michelle chats about the brand new My Favourite Mistake. Our overall verdict: Marian Keyes undoubtedly has it, the knack for writing genuinely funny, compelling and yet emotional novels. And we can't wait to read more!

The news cycle can be exhausting (trust us, we know). But it's important for all our mental health to take a break from the negativity — even if it's just for a few minutes. So together with Ford, we set out to find good news to help us do just that. For the second episode of our three-part mini-series, we chatted with the artist behind the feel-good viral hit, “If I Were A Fish.” Plus, we asked a music psychologist why songs like this one make us feel so seen. In this episode, you'll hear from corook, who wrote the trending tune, and Dr. Susan Rogers, a professor at Berklee College of Music who holds a PhD in music perception and cognition. Plus, hear about some other headlines that made us smile. This episode is Skimm'd by Alex Carr and our producers Monica Perry, Pam Segall, and Liz Smith. This episode was created in partnership with Wonder Media Network.

On this throbbing and tumescent episode of Terminus, we bring you five bands with distinctive hybrid sounds, each drawing on a wealth of reference points that don't usually go together. The Death Metal Guy leads off with what must be the best-selling underground (now, by accident, overground?) black metal record of all time -- that one with the dude in a cape with a flower and sword. There's a camp of people who think it's genius and authentic. There's (almost certainly) a camp of people who think it sucks and is false. But what does Terminus think? Let us consider the songs.... The Black Metal Guy replies with a strong candidate for Feel-Good Hit of The Summer -- the new one from the Korpsånd circle's Gabestok. Though black metal in spirit, Én gang rådden, altid rådden is rooted in some very different musical formats, from the nastiest beer-stained corners of punk and metal history. Even the way this band uses BM ideas is unexpected, leading to a masterfully original sound. After the break, the Death Metal Guy brings us two new EPs. Chapels of Gore places industrial-noise methods at the service of BM aesthetics, continuing the legacy of TDMG's beloved Kembatinian Premaster. Incarceration plays really fast, high-energy blastbeat / breakdown music that sounds very modern, yet hearkens back to the days of primordial extreme metal, in that it really doesn't fit into any of the major genres. Finally, The Black Metal Guy wraps it up with something uncharacteristically polished, a "fancy riffs" band called Obsolete. This leads us back to an old conversation about the relationship between technical death metal and thrash, and opens up into a new conversation on the difference between tech- and regular-metal song structure. 00:00 - Introductory bullshitting / Terminus News ft.

Liam Pieper is an author and freelance journalist. Since the publication of his first book in 2014, a memoir named The Feel-Good Hit of the Year, he has quickly followed it up with two more. Last year, he published a collection of short essays called Mistakes Were Made, which I reviewed for The Weekend Australian, where I described his writing as "electric: charged with meaning and energised by surprising comedic turns". With his third book, Liam has proved that he's supremely talented at writing fiction, too. Named The Toymaker, his debut novel is based on an ambitions, multi-layered narrative that travels between an Australian business set in the present day, and German concentration camps during World War II. The character that links these two worlds is a Russian man imprisoned during the war who escapes to Australia and starts a globally successful toy business. When Liam visited Brisbane in early August, I met him for the first time at his hotel room. Our conversation touches on the unique way in which Liam received funding to research and write The Toymaker while living overseas; how he navigated the legal threats that arose after the publication of his first book, which detailed his career as an adolescent drug dealer; how he messed up an important magazine assignment by filing 22,000 words instead of the requested length of 5,000 words; and how he helps young writers with finding the voice that best suits their style while working as content director for an online community called Writers Bloc. Liam Pieper is a Melbourne-based author and journalist. His first book was a memoir, The Feel-Good Hit of the Year, shortlisted for the National Biography Award and the Ned Kelly Best True Crime award. His second was the Penguin Special Mistakes Were Made, a volume of humorous essays. He was co-recipient of the 2014 M Literary Award, winner of the 2015 Geoff Dean Short Story Prize and the inaugural creative resident of the UNESCO City of Literature of Prague. He is also content director of Writers Bloc, a platform and resource for emerging writers. The Toymaker is his first novel.
