Here and now, in this place and this time, it's all gone wrong. And there's something else, too. How to Find Zodiac Dear Reader, This is not the Zodiac speaking. The one thing that I ask of you is this, please read this book. It is called How to Find Zodiac. Being that this book is about the Zodiac, it offers a new suspect. The theory is probably correct. At the moment the theory is unproven. But the idea is a bomb waiting to go massive. Can you see the flaws in the hunting method or will you just agree and say case closed. Either way one thing is true. Zodiac can never look and seem the same after you read this book. "A scruffy masterpiece of criminology. It seems to me that either Kobek's painstaking deductions are correct, or we must urgently revise the laws of probability." -Alan Moore, author of From Hell SOCIAL: Twitter: @WakeIslandPod Instagram: @wakeislandpod David's Twitter: @raviddice --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wake-island/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wake-island/support

Danskerbingo har stået stille, mens vi har sendt karantæneradio, men vi er ikke de eneste. For det har Cruise-skibsbranchen nemlig også og heldigvis for det. En branche der nu lider stort, da deres evige forsøg på at spare skattepenge gør, at de ikke får økonomisk hjælp i denne coronakrise. På baggrund af den historie leder vi efter nogle, der blevet bidt i røven i forsøget på at prøve at spare penge. Natasha har efter flere forsøg på at spare penge på familiens kæledyr nu droppet projektet, der må siges at have bidt hende i røven. Vi slår op i Danskerbingo-håndbogen og introducerer nye lyttere til Bjørne Corydon. Andreas spritter hænderne af og finder en seddel i maven på den 3D-printede bjørn. Vi leder efter nogle, der har brugt deres protese til noget andet, end hvad den var lavet til. Chris blev det menneskelige svar på Snøvsen, når datteren hellere ville lege med hans benprotese end sine dukker. Carolines håndprotese blev gymnasie-vennernes bedste prank redskab. Johnny havde gået Caminoen i trods, men også i dårligt fodtøj. Derfor leder vi efter nogle, der også har valgt katastrofalt fodtøj, når "Sjovt Du Sir' Det"-kæden skal have et nyt led. En ny Johnny blev fanget på TV i orange Crocs, da han ender med datteren på skadestuen. Vi laver en rundspørge - en lille fokusgruppe - og hører nogle af vores nye lyttere, hvorfor de pludselig kan lytte med, og hvad de efterspørger i vores program. "Vand" og "noget sjovt" er skrevet bag øret, som gode rettesnore. Jacob har set HBO-serien Succession, hvor en rigmand køber et hus til 100 millioner, som han ikke kan bo i, fordi det lugter. Vi ser, om vi ikke kan finde den danske pendant. Bo vil imponere gutterne til et ordentlig grillorgie. Det dyre kobekød er bare ikke helt som forventet. Simone og hendes familie har købt en gamle gård, men det går op for dem, at der lugter grimt. Gårdens gennemrenovering er påbegyndt før tid, for lugten skal findes! Vi spiller Nyhedsbingo, og på baggrund af Nanna Nørgaards nyhed om, at flere unge forlader foreningslivet på grund af corona-nedlukningen, får Jacob den vindende idé. Så vi leder efter nogle, der har brugt mange penge på noget sport, som de hurtigt droppede igen. Peter investerede 20.000 kr. i meget dyrt kitesurfingudstyr for blot en 20-30 sekunders uheldig vandsport. På Ugens Værste Tidspunkt - 11.45 - har Morten mistet sine skærmkasser til en kantsten, og Katja har haft mareridt og sovet over sig, hvilket betyder mindre tid til Fortnite.

JARETT KOBEK READS FROM HIS NOVEL THE FUTURE WON'T BE LONG WITH JAMES ST. JAMES

Jarett Kobek published his first novel, I Hate the Internet, last year with a small indie publisher and it immediately took on cult status. Kobek received a rave review from Dwight Garner in The New York Times, who described the novel “as a glimpse at a lively mind at full boil.” Jonathan Lethem declared Kobek “as riotous as Houellebecq,” and Bret Easton Ellis was photographed reading it in bed. Viking is thrilled to be publishing Kobek’s brilliant and epic follow-up novel, The Future Won't Be Long, a provocative, ecstatic story of friendship, sex, art, and ambition in the twilight days of New York City’s East Village (1986-1996). The Future Won't Be Long centers on Adeline—featured years later in I Hate the Internet—a wealthy art student in New York City who chances upon a young man from the Midwest known only as Baby in a shady East Village squat. The two begin a fiery friendship which propels them through a decade of New York life punctuated by the deaths of Warhol, Basquiat, Wojnarowicz, by the Tompkins Square Park riots, and by the rise of club kid culture. Adeline is fiercely protective of Baby, but he soon takes over his own education. Once just a kid off the bus from Wisconsin, Baby soon finds himself at the center of the club kid social scene, cavorting with Michael Alig and James St. James at The Tunnel, Limelight, and Alig’s infamous “Outlaw Party” at a midtown McDonald’s. As Adeline and Baby both develop into the artists they never expected to become, Kobek pays tribute to the last gasps of the gritty, drug-fueled scene of the East Village as gentrifiers begin to trickle in. Kobek, himself a graduate of NYU, writes with a native’s sensitivity to New York, especially about those who come here with hope and those who come to escape their pasts. Riotously funny and wise, The Future Won't Be Long is a euphoric, propulsive novel coursing with a rare vitality, an elegy to New York and to the relationships that have the power to change—and save—our lives. Jarett Kobek is a Turkish American writer living in California. He is the author of the novel I Hate the Internet (2016) and the novella Atta (2011) James St. James who was once dubbed a "celebutante" by Newsweek magazine, now leads a quiet, sedate existence in Los Angeles, far from the madness that he writes about.  Event date:  Thursday, August 17, 2017 - 7:30pm

I Hate the Internet (We Heard You Like Books) What if you told the truth and the whole world heard you? What if you lived in a country swamped with Internet outrage? What if you were a woman in a society that hated women? Set in the San Francisco of 2013, I Hate the Internet offers a hilarious and obscene portrayal of life amongst the victims of the digital boom. As billions of tweets fuel the city’s gentrification and the human wreckage piles up, a group of friends suffers the consequences of being useless in a new world that despises the pointless and unprofitable. In this, his first full-length novel, Jarett Kobek tackles the pressing questions of our moment. Why do we applaud the enrichment of CEOs at the expense of the weak and the powerless? Why are we giving away our intellectual property? Why is activism in the 21st Century nothing more than a series of morality lectures typed into devices built by slaves? Here, at last, comes an explanation of the Internet in the crudest possible terms." Praise for I Hate the Internet "Could we have an American Houellebecq? Jarett Kobek might come close, in the fervor of his assault on sacred cows of our own secretly-Victorian era, even if some of his implicit politics may be the exact reverse of the Frenchman's. I just got an early copy of his newest, I Hate The Internet and devoured it - he's as riotous as Houellebecq, and you don't need a translator, only fireproof gloves for turning the pages." -- Jonathan Lethem, The Scofield "A riproaring, form-follows-function burlesque of the digital age that click-meanders its way like the ADHD freaks we're all becoming, while offering up compelling narrative lines that kept me clicking faster and faster. Read this book. Now." -- Dodie Bellamy "I Hate the Internet is thought provoking—and so funny! I can’t remember the last book I read that made me laugh this much. Kobek has a gift for seeing things from a different angle and for uncovering lies and invisible structures of society, and he does it in a playful, anarchistic and quirky way. The rows of association in this book—Kobek’s deconstructing voice—will keep you entertained and baffled throughout the reading." -- Dorthe Nors Jarett Kobek is a Turkish-American writer living in California. His novella ATTA was called “highly interesting,” by the Times Literary Supplement, has appeared in Spanish translation, been the subject of much academic writing, and was a recent and unexplained bestseller in parts of Canada. Presently, he's working on a book about the Ol' Dirty Bastard's first album for Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 series.  Matthew Specktor is the author of two novels, American Dream Machine and That Summertime Sound, as well as a nonfiction book about the motion picture The Sting. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, GQ, Harper’s, The Paris Review, and numerous other periodicals and anthologies. He is a founding editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books.

Praise for BTW: “Moving from Williamsburg to Echo Park, Kobek's account of post-NYU life in the aughts (so generic it can barely be lived, yet alone retold) is surprisingly disrupted as primitive identities of religion and race surface among this young, well-connected, smart and otherwise evolved group of friends. In this, his second novel, Kobek's writing continues to impress."--CHRIS KRAUS, author of Where Art Belongs and I Love Dick “Half of BTW is a coming of age novel about the narrator's romantic entanglements, the most significant of which turns out to be with the city of Los Angeles; the other half is the real love story, played out between the narrator and his father. This father, who is by turns hectoring, profane, and tenderin phone conversations and voicemail messages from his native Turkey, counts as one of the great comic characters in recent fiction, the sort of eccentric with whom you spend a minute in an elevator but can't forget."--William Jones, author of Halstead Plays Himself "Jarett Kobek's deceptively artless prose responds like a flower to the sunlight of joy as to the cold rain of alienation. BTW is a book that could be as big as Bright Lights, Big City with the same general framework of a sharply experimental novel that yet can boast a big heart, a joke on every page, an overwhelming city magnificently delineated, and a handful of fascinating and all too real characters.--Kevin Killian, author of Spread Eagle and Impossible Princess “It's like Kobek keyed into John Kennedy Toole's lost biorhythm and resurrected it amid the cosmopolitan absurdities of Los Angeles. Between Tabitha Brown, Khadija, the Butterfed Behemoth and the legendary Mehmet, BTW adds up to a funny and hyper-literate look at failing relationships.”--Ken Baumann, star of the television show The Secret Life of the American Teenager Jarett Kobek is an American author and essayist living in California. His book ATTA (Semiotexte, 2011) is a fictionalized psychedelic biography of the lead 9/11 terrorist and If You Won't Read, Then Why Should I Write? was published in 2012 by Penny-Ante Editions, both of which were longlisted for Novel of the Year by 3:AM Magazine. His most recent criticism, «Je suis devenu un magicien noir», was published as a catalogue essay by White Cube of London.

As soon as a sow is designated as a cull sow, it is very easy to mentally move her down on the priority list. However, just like all pigs in a swine facility, they deserve proper care and actions to mitigate stressors as they make their way to the market. They have earned that! In today's episode, we talk with Dr. Cecilie Kobek-Kjeldager about her work studying the factors that cause stress for the cull sow during transportation, as well as potential ways to help her and mitigate some of those challenges.“There is a discussion about what determines if a pig is fit for transport, specially the cull sows" - Dr. Cecilie Kobek-KjeldagerWhat you'll learn:Problematic areas in cull sow welfareTransportation concernsDifferences between shipping market hogs and sowsMinimizing aggression during transportationPreparing cull sows for the marketBiosecurity for transportationDr. Cecilie Kobek-Kjeldager is a Postdoctoral Associate at Aarhus University,  in Denmark. During her early career, Cecilie worked with piglet mortality and alternative housing in organic production, the effects of supplying milk replacers to liters of hyper-prolific sows, and the transportation of weaner pigs and cull sows – all of that in a context of behavior and welfare. She believes that more attention should be given to the welfare of the sow during her productive life, but especially as a cull sow sent for slaughter, since that is where she is particularly vulnerable to welfare challenges. Currently, besides her research, Dr. Kobek-Kjeldager  is building a research team to investigate how the diet can be used to modulate behavior and stress resilience via the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
