AN AUDIENCE WITH IAN RANKIN A Life in Music . .  The superb Inspector Rebus novels are littered with musical references throughout, so we were delighted when legendary award winning author, Sir Ian Rankin agreed to come along to talk about his own life with our favourite art form.  Originally, Ian's friend (and also a best selling Scottish author), John Niven was to be the interviewer, but an important business trip to New Orleans came along and alternative arrangements had to be made. The CAT Club's very own AMANDA COOK stepped into the breach and made us all so proud of her. After a brief chat about Ian's latest blockbuster release, ‘Midnight and Blue,' the musical tastes of John Rebus did indeed feature in a fascinating evening with a true giant of the wonderful world of literature. Ian took us on a personal journey through his life explaining how music played such an important role along the way. As well as being a great novelist, Ian is also a great raconteur with a terrific sense of humour and he captivated the sold audience for over two memorable hours. Special thanks to Amanda Cook for a terrific stint in the interviewer's chair. This event took place on 21st November 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

Ian Rankin is on a deadline to complete his next Inspector Rebus thriller. He is happy with the first draft: “at the moment, it is perfect!”. But what will others make of it? In the second of two episodes recorded across Scotland over several months, we follow the bestselling crime writer to the remote, coastal town of Cromarty. He comes here to escape reality, and to write without distraction. But on this occasion, there is a crime fiction festival taking place. Will he get any work done?

Un sito dove l'intelligenza artificiale suggerisce mete per le vacanze. A colpi di 10 dollari al mese (dopo i primi 4 tentativi gratuiti). Non sapete dove andare in vacanza? Ve lo dico io gratis! TRASCRIZIONE [Eng translation below]Sarà il caldo, saranno le notti bollenti che si suda nonostante le finestre spalancate, mi sono fatta prendere dal ghiribizzo delle vacanze, così, quando sono incappata in un sito che promette di usare l'intelligenza artificiale generativa per suggerirti la vacanza ideale, ho aperto il sito e ho cominciato a chiedere. Ho cominciato con domande, la prima che mi è venuta in mente e suggerisci unicità artistiche, e non sorprende nessuno che mi abbia proposto Parigi, Berlino, Firenze, New York. Ho pensato poi di chiedere qualcosa di un po più specifico e allora ho chiesto, suggeriscimi una città da visitare descritta in un romanzo. E mi ha suggerito, allora: Londra, con il Racconto di due città di Dickens, Parigi, sempre Parigi con I miserabili di Victor Hugo, poi San Pietroburgo, Delitto e castigo, un libro che ho letto e che mi è piaciuto, anche se mi ha fatto arrabbiare, e poi Dublino con Ulisse. Allora ho rincarato la dose e ho chiesto vabbè, suggeriscimi una città, delle città dove andare in vacanza, città descritte in libri gialli. Allora, al primo posto Stoccolma con La ragazza con il drago tatuato, poi Los Angeles, Il grande sonno, Edimburgo, dove sono ambientate le serie dell'ispettore Rebus e poi Tokyo, che è nel romanzo Out che non mi ricordo di avere letto. Allora, volevo chiedere a questo punto, suggeriscimi città dove andare in vacanza, città che siano state descritte in film, e non sono potuta andare avanti perché la app, o meglio questo sito m'ha detto ah, hai raggiunto il limite permesso per l'utilizzo gratuito di questo servizio! Se vuoi continuare devi darci solo 9,99$ al mese. Col cavolo! Allora lasciamo perdere questo sito, si vabbè vi metto il link però potete fare solo quattro tre quattro richieste, vado a prendermi i miei libri, vado a rivedermi i titoli dei film, vado a farmi sorprendere da Netflix e vado a scegliermela io la vacanza, anche se la vacanza per quest'anno ho già scelto la destinazione. Non lo dico perché sono superstiziosa e le cose si dicono quando si fanno, però già deciso e lasciamo perdere queste cose qua.Ma cioè chi è che spende 10$ al mese per farsi dire da un robot dove andare in vacanza? Ma la gente veramente ha perso il lume della ragione? Cioè se non sapete dove andare in vacanza mandatemi un messaggio e ve lo suggerisco io, eh. TRANSLATIONIt may be the heat, it may be the scorching nights where you sweat despite open windows. I got carried away by the whim of vacations, so when I came across a website that promises to use generative artificial intelligence to suggest the ideal vacation, I opened the site and started asking.I started with questions, the first one that came to my mind: suggest uniqueness of artistic cities, and it's no surprise that it proposed Paris, Berlin, Florence, New York. Then I thought of asking something a bit more specific, so I asked, suggest a city to visit described in a novel.And it suggested, then: London, with "A Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens, Paris, always Paris, with "Les Misérables" by Victor Hugo, then St. Petersburg, "Crime and Punishment," a book I've read and liked, even though it made me angry, and then Dublin with "Ulysses."Then I raised the stakes and asked, well, suggest me a city, from cities to go on vacation, cities described in mystery novels.So, in first place, Stockholm with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," then Los Angeles, "The Big Sleep," Edinburgh, where Inspector Rebus series are set, and then Tokyo, which is in the novel "Out" that I don't remember reading.So, at this point, I wanted to ask suggest me cities to go on vacation, cities that have been described in movies, and I couldn't go on because the app, or rather this website told me oh, you have reached the allowed limit for using this service for free! No way!Well then, let's forget about this site, alright, I'll give you the link, but you can only make like three or four requests, I'm going to get my books, I'm going to review the movie titles, I'm going to be surprised by Netflix, and I'm going to choose my vacation myself, even though I've already chosen the destination for this year's vacation.I won't say it because I'm superstitious and you say things when you do them, but I've already decided, and let's forget about these things here.Seriously, who spends $10 a month to be told by a robot where to go on vacation? Has the world really lost its sanity? I mean, if you don't know where to go on vacation, send me a message and I'll suggest it to you, uh.LINK Se proprio ci tenete, ecco il link https://www.usevacay.com/chatbot?utm_campaign=mb&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_source=morning_brew

Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus crime novels, has recently completed a book left unfinished by the father of the ‘tartan noir' genre William McIlvanney who died in 2015. Ian explains how he pieced together the fragments and notes left by McIlvanney and wrote his own sections of The Dark Remains, a prequel to McIlvanney's Laidlaw series. He also reveals that the experience of working on the novel may mean a new lease of life for Rebus. With summer music festivals linked to spikes in Covid cases and new pilot data released from the Government's Events Research Programme, social psychologist Professor John Drury from the University of Sussex explains the risks posed by large crowds and the policy and behaviour changes he believes are needed to ensure live events can continue safely.

This episode I am joined by Eamonn Hennessy, owner of Buck Mulligan's, a Specialty Irish Whiskey Bar and Bookshop in the heart of Northcote. Buck Mulligan's is a lovely space with a cosy snug as well as a leafy courtyard. There are books for sale as well as some available for borrowing or reading whilst enjoying a drink. Eamonn joined me to share three of his favourite whiskeys and talk about his love of books and of whiskey! The pairings: The Irish Whiskey - The Hyde 6 year old single grain aged in bourbon casks. The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien This epic fantasy tells of a great and perilous quest undertaken to fight evil and to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord himself, and destroy the Ring of Power by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. This is a fabulously complex and yet utterly simple story. It is sweeping in scope and world-building, a whole language was created for this world too - Elvish - and whilst there is a darkness within this story there are so many sweet moments to cherish. It is one of the most satisfying books I have ever read. Also The Fire Starters by Jan Carson The Australian Whiskey - Bakery Hill Double Wood Eamonn chose a Victorian author to pair with this Victorian whiskey ... Barley Patch by Gerald Murnane The book begins with the question, 'Must I write?' What follows is both a chronicle of the images that have endured in the author's mind, and an exploration of their nature. The clarity of the images is extraordinary, as is their range, from Mandrake the Magician to the bachelor uncle kicked in the 'stones' as a child, from the country cousin's doll's house to the mysterious woman who lets her hair down, from the soldier beetle who winks messages from God to the racehorses that run forever in the author's mind, beyond the grasslands, to the place where the characters of fiction dwell before they come into existence in books. The Scottish Whiskey - Laphroaig Quarter Cask The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern The circus arrives without warning, It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. A fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose. Unbeknownst to them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. So of course they soon tumble headfirst into love. This book is not as dark and gritty as you might expect with this whiskey but it is beautifully descriptive and is a story which lives in the night and the dark and speaks to the chocolate, the cinnamon, to the sweet, mouth-coating and spice flavours and is definitely a story which lingers. Also The Fireman by Joe Hill Eamonn recommends the Inspector Rebus series by Ian Rankin

(Part Two) Welcome back to “Radio Drama” where we continue with Part two of “Fleshmarket Close”, a crime novel by Ian Rankin, and is named after a real close in Edinburgh between the High Street and Market Street, crossing Cockburn Street. It is the fifteenth of the Inspector Rebus novels. "Fleshmarket" is the Scots term for butcher's market. Fleshmarket Close, also has a symbolic meaning; at the core of this book is the exploitation of illegal immigrants. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karenina60/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/karenina60/support

How does Radio 4 decide when to change the schedule? The death of Tony Benn last week disrupted some listeners when an Inspector Rebus drama was cancelled in favour of a documentary about the Labour grandee. Then, on Monday morning, the advertised Book of the Week was removed to make way for a re-run of Benn's diaries. Listeners have complained in the past about similar changes to scheduled programmes when Margaret Thatcher and Nelson Mandela died. Roger Bolton asks the Head of Planning and Scheduling, Tony Pilgrim, why Radio 4 does it. Roger will also be getting lost in the issue of the week at the Moral Maze with presenter Michael Buerk, producer Phil Pegum, and panellists Claire Fox, Giles Fraser, Anne McElvoy, and Michael Portillo. When Radio 4 announced that one of its most popular comedies, Cabin Pressure, would take to the air no more, many listeners wanted to know why. The dream cast of Benedict Cumberbatch , Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam and John Finnemore have just recorded their final episode - and 23,000 people applied for tickets. We'll be asking writer John Finnemore if he has any regrets about ending the series. And the BBC Director General, Tony Hall, wants fifty percent of all BBC local radio breakfast shows to have at least one woman presenter - either solo or as co-host - by the end of 2014. Roger speaks to the man who has to instigate those changes David Holdsworth, the Controller of English Regions. Producer: Will Yates A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
