Robin Skinner's open-hearted songwriting as Cavetown matches lyrical vulnerability with an emotive approach to production. In the first episode of Doing Music, Robin tells host Craig Schuftan about his rise to fame as a teenage YouTube sensation and what that means for him and his music. It's a sensitive insight into a DIY artist who has shared his most intimate issues through song, touching on the search for a sense of home, navigating fame and collaborative songwriting as the next step in self-therapy. Along the way, prepare to bask in the nostalgic warmth of the Moomins and contemplate the idea of an 18th century emo kid.   Explore further: Comet in Moominland by Trove Jansson  ‘Homesick' by Cavetown, from Moominvalley Official Soundtrack  The Sorrows of Young Werther by J.W. von Goethe    Keep up with Cavetown on Instagram, YouTube and via his website — and check out his latest EP Little Vice.   Tell us what you think of this episode: doingmusic@ableton.com Doing Music is brought to you by Ableton.

This is the fourteenth episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. We're wrapping up Moominland Midwinter this week, and despite being only three chapters, it's 70% of the words in this book, so do strap in for a mammoth episode. There's a whole raft of new characters: the lonely and the rum, a flock of small creep, a very melancholy dog and a jock Hemulen. Misunderstandings and unrequited longings abound. Moomintroll finally gets to grips with the snow. Little My invents ice skating. And we finally get to hear what Mamma thinks about it all. Perhaps the real winter was the friends we made along the way. Or maybe, as per Too Ticky, one has to discover everything for oneself, and get over it all alone. Our spirits of the Moomins this week are Strega by Johanne Lykke Holm and Bob's Burgers, an animated sitcom. Our spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is the blog series The Percy Jackson Project by Talia Franks.

This is the thirteenth episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to series 3! We're back with a banger: Moominland Midwinter. Nina has had this book hyped up by everyone who knows she's doing this podcast, and despite all the hype it doesn't disappoint. In this first half of the book, the unthinkable happens: Moomintroll awakes from his hibernation and finds himself alone in a world of winter. It is as if he has rolled out into outer space. This is such a beautiful meditation on loneliness, and change, and uncertainty. We've got a great new character in Too-Ticky, and of course the whole show is stolen by recurring character Little My. Our spirits of the Moomins this week are Nimona (the animated film) from Dave and two short stories from Nina: The Horse in the Snow by Jeanette Winterson and the Snow Horse by Joan Aiken.

Our special guest for this episode is Medieval historian Dr Eleanor Janega. Eleanor joins us to shout about how much she loves Comet in Moominland, share her Moomin memes of choice and talk about how Tove Jansson draws on medieval storytelling tropes like weird little guys you find in the woods, comets, and really good food writing. There is a case made for Moominmamma as an agony aunt and a scathing burn for Ian Fleming. You can find Eleanor's on twitter @GoingMedieval, buy her new book The Once and Future Sex here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-once-and-future-sex-going-medieval-on-women-s-roles-in-society-eleanor-janega/18507010?ean=9780393867817 and her comic The Middle Ages: A Graphic History here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Middle-Ages-Graphic-History-Introducing/dp/1785785915 She also has her own podcast We're Not So Different: https://podfollow.com/1551657923 This a bonus episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. It's also the last episode of the first series of the show. The Podgoblin's Hat will return in August with season two, which kicks off with The Memoirs of Moominpappa / The Exploits of Moominpappa. We'll tell you about both versions of the story so you can pick which one to seek out and read!

This is the fourth episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. This week we're reading the second half of Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson, and what a rip roaring adventure it is! Moomintroll meets the fabled Snorkmaiden and falls in love on the spot, our brave adventurers attend not one but two end-of-the-world parties, and the philosopher gets stuck into something gooey. We talk about war and climate catastrophes (again! why is Moominland always threatened by climate change?) and discuss the heteronormativity of the Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll's relationship, but also the ways in which they break that mould. This week, our question for Snufkin was provided by the AITA community on Reddit and concerns landlords. Our Spirit of the Moomins recommendations are as follows: By Ash, Oak and Thorn by Melissa Harrison (special shout-out to the audiobook) Toy Story 3 And our Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat, as provided by Nina this week, is Dragon Babies, a YA fantasy nostalgia podcast.

This is the third episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. This week we're reading Comet in Moominland, the first fully fledged chapter book. There's lots of to discuss! The Little Creature from last week has become Sniff, a full member of the Moomin family by adoption. A philosopher comes knocking at the door in the middle of the night. But most importantly, Snufkin joins the cast. We talk about the way this book is structured, the ways in which it calls back to Flood, and we make another fruitless attempt to discover how big Moomins are. Our #WhatWouldSnufkinDo question this week is: What would you do if your cat came home wearing a new collar? Spirit of the Moomins recommendations: The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate by Margaret Mahy. The films of Hayao Miyazaki, specifically Ponyo, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. And our Spirit of The Podgoblin's Hat is: Avatar: Braving the Elements Join us next week when we read the second half of Comet in Moominland!

Our guests this week are members of the same family. Jeremy and Hermione Tankard are a father-daughter duo behind the graphic novel series Yorick and Bones.

A doozy of a book, and one where we start off the episode not agreeing on how we liked it! Charlotte Geater (@tambourine on twitter and creator of wonderful bot-based poetry) joins us again after her Rupetta episodes last December to discuss the 1960s underground classic, Ice by Anna Kavan (https://amzn.to/2PRGTth). We discuss death, addiction, patriarchy, experimental fiction, and whether there are any easy allegories in this novel (answer: no). Adrian comes to terms with not having enjoyed reading the novel—but being glad he read it.  This is a very brutal book, and if you're going to read it you might want to check out our content warnings at the 12m27s mark.  Charlotte recommended a number of stories, books, and novels to go along with Ice. Links to them all are collected below. Go to Spectology.com if the links don't show up on your podcatcher. * Excerpt of Sofia Samatar's novella, Fallow * Descriptions of Jane Gaskell's unfortunately out of print novels * Ann Quin's recently republished first novel, Berg * "The Debutant", a story by Leonora Carrington * Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry by BS Johnson * Sylvia Townsend Warner's The Kingdoms of Elfin * Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson * The Weird Tales podcast reads Lord Dunsany --- As always, we'd love to hear from you!

Castle of the Winds 05.001 (Daniel K's Let's Plays episode fragment 01). So in this episode I have a weird little crisis and start asking my listeners (pretty much individually by name) to tweet me advice about what to do with this series. But then I get distracted half way through forming the question, and by the time I get un-distracted I've realised that I don't need any advice and I totally know what to do with this series. Closing music blah blah blah The Drones. And in Daniel K Recommends I Daniel K Recommended you read the Moomin books by Tove Jansson. Comet in Moominland is a perfect starting point; just like Night on the Galactic Railroad, it's ostensibly a kid's book, but one which is steeped in the most deliciously existential of dreads.

The Immortals are back! After an unexpected week off, they're back and they're building a rocket. But let's not get into the logic of that.

It's 2017, and we begin the year with Adventures in Moominland, Watership Down (again), blatant plagiarism and Cormac McCarthy's attitude towards punctuation. We also take a look at books that were ruined by one bad chapter. #LiteraryLoitering #TheGeekShow #Books #Novels #Arts #Theatre #News #Reviews #Podcasts

In GBA 169 we get better acquainted with James McKay. He talks us through Victorian poetry recitals, classical literature and history, plundering and re-contextualising the canon, the relationship between the Moomins and Zen thinking, putting on gigs in your front room and being an "Arts Thatcherite". If all of that sounds dry and worthy and highbrow then think again as this conversation is very much the opposite of that.
