Podcasts about pasha malla

The Canadian author's new novel, All You Can Kill, opens with the narrator floating through the sky and landing in an erotic wellness retreat --- and it only gets stranger from there. Pasha speaks with Mattea Roach about the nuances of writing about identity and the joy of a story with no rules.

Hey folks. Today we chat with the excellent Pasha Malla about All You Can Kill, a continuation of the story begun with his last novel, Kill the Mall. Hope you enjoy.

There are so many great books by Hamiltonians this spring. It’s kind of unbelievable (or should I say, I totally believe it? I don’t know). One of my favourites is Kill the Mall by Pasha Malla. It’s a very unique, highly unusual and even more highly entertaining work. Pasha joins me today to discuss!

In 2002, Bob Kerr made a grand romantic gesture that was so downright embarrassing, it still makes him cringe. Now, nearly 20 years later, Bob is reaching back out to his ex-girlfriend Zoey, to find out what she really thought of his bid to win her heart… and learns the script is never what you think it is. PLUS, In 1999, Pasha Malla and Mark Trenwith made a strange trade: they traded personal stories. Each agreed to only tell the other guy's story as if it was his own. 19 years later we got them on the phone to re-tell the stories they traded... and see how they held up. (Spoiler alert: they didn't; hilarity ensued.)

A Filipino basketball league in the Yukon, street racers dodging the law around Toronto's suburbs and a first-hand account of the Bassmaster Classic fishing challenge are just a few of the unique stories curated by Stacey May Fowles and Pasha Malla in the Best Canadian Sports Writing anthology.  Released this fall, the compilation highlights narrative non-fiction. It takes the reader far beyond the 24-hour news cycle by showcasing authors and topics rarely featured in the mainstream sports conversation. Fowles, author of Baseball Life Advice, joins fellow journalists Neil Acharya and Neate Sager to discuss the project.

While we continue to podcast in the sleepy woods, the world continues to spin - perhaps out of control. Good thing Matt brought a special guest along to this episode, because Phil seems mad about recent events and wants some answers. We talk politics and some current events before getting into a new recurring segment. We tackle Youtube or U2: friends or foes? Revolutionary Forces of Change (15:35) Special guest Evan Ferguson is on to discuss Spain’s civil war and the workers’ social revolution of 1936. We talk about the forces that fought fascism and momentarily created an egalitarian ideal. Evan offers us an overview of some of the main players. We discuss the social and cultural aspects of the implementation of anarchist and libertarian socialist organizational principles throughout various portions of Spain. Paying attention to the regional realities of the revolution,  we debate a few potential critiques of the movement before drawing attention to George Orwell’s beloved account of the civil war and his admiration of the social revolution. We end by drawing connections between the Spanish revolutionary ideals of the past and present day Kurdish revolutionary forces.  Suggested Reading: Francisco J. Romero Salvadó’s The Spanish Civil War : origins, course, and outcomes Sam Dolgoff (editor) The Anarchist Collectives: Workers’ Self-Management in the Spanish Revolution, 1936–1939 Juan Gomez Casas’ Anarchist Organisation: The History of the F.A.I. David Graeber's twitter feed is a great way to keep up on the Kurdish propaganda. George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia One of the few news sites to cover the SDF and YPG in Rojava: http://theregion.org/ For an overview of the players see: CNT (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, English: National Confederation of Labour) FAI (Federación Anarquista Ibérica, English: Iberian Anarchist Federation) UGT (Unión General de Trabajadores, English: General Union of Workers) Recommendations (1:08:30) Matt recommends Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gentley’s Holistic Detective Agency Phil recommends Jeff Parker and Pasha Malla’s Erratic Fire, Erratic Passion (Featherproof, 2015) Evan recommends Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed & Citations Needed Concluding thought:   When I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on. ― George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia Follow #PodernFamily, #Podmosphere and #2PodsADay for the best in indie podcasts.

The Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize recognizes the Canadian writer of the year’s best novel or short story collection and rewards them with $25,000. The prize celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The 2016 finalists were selected by a jury composed of writers Lauren B. Davis, Trevor Ferguson, and Pasha Malla. Listen to them discuss what it’s like to be on a literary prize jury, the tricks and techniques they used to wade through the 130+ books they read, and why they selected the finalists they did.

The 4th of July seemed like a time to celebrate American sports, so I give you the weird words of Metta World Peace and some devastating ones from Doc Rivers. Thanks again to Pasha Malla and Jeff Parker for this book. It never fails to amuse/excite/move me. I gotta get back to the elbow macaroni and murder. Shoutout to all the pasta though.
