In this episode of Bad Diaries Podcast, Tracy talks with arts festival founder and director, arts events maven, book reviewer, books editor, essayist and novelist Claire Mabey about a life in the arts, the wisdom of teachers, and the transportive power of reading.Claire's debut novel, The Raven's Eye Runaways, was published only two months ago, and is already making its mark, flying out across the book world. Hera Lindsay Bird called it “powerfully atmospheric” and “immersive”; Elizabeth Knox says it's “sparky and spooky, humorous and luminous”. We dive inside the book, to talk about its origins, its inspirations, the process of writing it.Claire Mabey co-founded Verb Readers and Writers Festival (initially as LitCrawl), Lōemis festival, and event organising and production outfit Pirate & Queen. More recently, Claire's taken on the role of Books Editor for The Spinoff. In the podcast, we talk about what it is, what it means, and what it takes to make a life in the arts.Claire reflects on her diarymaking practice – kickstarted by teacher Lyn Fothergill who encouraged 10-year-old Claire to start keeping a journal; “I started being a writer in her class” – and different ways (increasingly digitised) of diarising a life.As literary director of Verb festival, Claire first took a chance and booked Bad Diaries Salon for LitCrawl back in 2018, establishing what's become our longest running festival collaboration – we've held Bad Diaries Salon at Meow bar for LitCrawl 6 years in a row, so far, and counting. We're delighted to embed Claire's connection with Bad Diaries, by welcoming her to the podcast.Find full show notes for this episode on the Bad Diaries Salon website baddiariessalon.com, or get in touch via Instagram or Facebook – we're @baddiariessalon everywhere.Thanks for joining us for Bad Diaries Podcast!

Wellington's Verb Festival is underway - a city wide party that celebrates books, reading, ideas, information and conversation over four days. The Centrepiece of the Festival is LitCrawl which is celebrating 10 years. It's tomorrow - 30 events and over 100 artists spread over many beloved Wellington venues with entry by donation. From competitive bananagrams to high rotation poems, to indigi-lit speed dating and much more. Kathryn speaks with Lit Crawl's longest-serving Trustee, writer, publisher and long-time LitCrawl attendee Brannavan Gnanalingam.

What would compel a kinkster to become electrified in the bedroom (and Is vaginal lubricant conductive)? Queer Poet & Storyteller Blythe Baldwin loves Electrical Play, although Violet Wands are way out of her budget. But when her girlfriend demands some ‘really serious nipple clamps', Blythe stumbles across a more affordable e-stim device online. Soon Blythe and her girlfriend are shocked and surprised, and their new toy delivers the warm champagne tingles and knifelike zaps of their dreams. Taco already! Plus an embarrassed Dixie learns something new about in-person events and makes an emergency trip to the Fire Department - and the sexy firemen there teach her a thing or two about lube and a tiny, tiny cousin to the Jaws of Life. #CradleIt #Safeword #AppleProductFromHell   Song: 'Danger!

Hugo-centric Lit Crawl Seattle 2021 keeps a celebratory torch burning

For almost a decade writer Whiti Hereaka has been fleshing out the mythical story of a monster bird woman. The novel is called Kurangaituku - a name and story Whiti's known since childhood. But that story has traditionally been told from the perspective of Hatupatu, the man she loved desperately but who ultimately betrayed her. Whiti tells Kurangaituku's story in the first person - from when birds called her into existence to her love for Hatupatu, the upheaval that ravaged her world, and her time roaming the underworlds of Raohenga. Whiti reads from the novel and talks to Lynn Freeman about her memories of then story and why it inspired her so much. Kurangaituku is published by Huia. Whiti will be talking at the upcoming LitCrawl festival in Wellington.

Chris Tse is part of the team working on a new contemporary opera called Silence Is, about silence as part of the upcoming LitCrawl festival in Wellington

* Litquake is an annual literary festival started in 1999 in San Francisco that has since spread to cities throughout the country and abroad.

Since its inception more than 10,000 authors and 250,000 attendees have participated in the festival. * Event co-founder Jack Boulware shared the origins of the festival and how it has grown over time. * Jack was joined by Home Baked author Alia Volz. Podcast host Matthew Felix, Jack, and Alia talked about the challenges for writers and other creatives, as well as literary organizations in an ever-changing San Francisco. * Jack explained how Litquake had pivoted in light of the pandemic, including going all online last year, and holding both virtual and in-person events for this year's festival. * Jack shared some of the authors participating in the festival, whether virtually or in-person, including Dave Eggers, Isabel Allende, Ingrid Rojas Contreras, Tommy Orange, Danny Trejo, and many others. * Alia talked about the two days of panels that she has organized, one day focused on craft, one on business. * Matthew asked Jack about some of Litquake's programs, including Kidquake, their Elder Project, and their most recent addition, Litquake Out Loud, which is focused on amplifying underrepresented voices. * Alia explained Litquake's closing night event, LitCrawl, akin to a "literary pub crawl" around San Francisco's Mission District, and Matthew shared a few of the events that caught his attention. * Litquake takes place October 7 - 23. * More info at litquake.org.   Listen here or on: iTunes | Stitcher | Spotify | Google | TuneIn | Amazon | Player FM | Deezer Watch on YouTube   Links https://litquake.org/
