Ben Aaronovitch is the bestselling author of the Rivers of London series, the latest of which, Amongst Our Weapons, is just out! Before becoming a successful author, Ben worked in screenwriting, writing episodes of Doctor Who, Casualty and more - but it was only when he was working as a bookseller in Waterstones that the idea of writing novels struck him.It was great fun chatting with Ben about his career, hearing about the highs and lows, where the idea for Rivers of London came from and why he thinks it has become such a massive success. On top of that, we talk about the buying habits of different genre readers, structure of stories and why he can't choose between real books, ebooks and audiobooks...Links:Buy Amongst Our Weapons and Ben's other books now!Visit Ben's websiteFollow Ben on TwitterPage One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.

The Follycast Episode 13: Monday, Monday and Amongst Our Weapons preview In this month’s episode… We make our first foray into the world of the Rivers Of London graphic novels with the recently released ‘Sunday Sunday’. We have a wider discussion about the graphic novels released so far and we wonder what implications the revelations in Monday, Monday have for the (at time of recording) soon to be released new novel ‘Amongst Our Weapons’. Now that the back cover ‘blurb’ has been released, what are our hopes and predictions for the ninth book in the Rivers series? Along the way we discuss whether ‘Monday, Monday’ actually reveals quite as much as it seems to and the role the graphic novels play in the Rivers universe. Suffice it to say our opinions vary considerably. Along the way Jennie gets angry, Margaret does some name etymology and we generate the most extensive show notes so far. Whether you have read ‘Monday, Monday,’ or are wondering whether the graphic novels are really for you, this is the podcast for you.

The Follycast Episode 12: False Value In this month’s episode… We reach the end of our quest (for the time being) as we review the most recent Rivers Of London novel, False Value, published in 2020, just before the pandemic turned the world upside down and gave us all the time to do this podcast. False Value is a tale that links Silicon Valley, Ada Lovelace and the New York Public Library, but does it have too many characters to keep track of? Is the order of the early chapters intriguing or confusing? How many different Hitchhiker’s Guide references are there? Could Nightingale be about to retire? Most importantly of all, when will the official Molly Cookbook be published? Having debated these questions we end with some speculation about where the series could be headed next. Hopefully our next episode will review the next Rivers Of London book as and when it is written and published!

To celebrate Titan Comics' release of Rivers of London Vol. 1: Body Work Deluxe Writer's Edition, we spoke with award-winning English author Ben Aaronovitch.

The Follycast Episode 11: What Abigail Did That Summer In this month’s episode… We conclude our look at the three Rivers Of London novellas by Ben Aaronovitch that have been published so far, with the (at time of recording) recently published What Abigail Did That Summer. With Peter and Beverly away in Herefordshire investigating unicorn-related child adbuctions, Abigail has adventures on and around Hampstead Heath, assisted by her friend Simon and a band of talking foxes. Of the three novellas this generates the most debate on the pod. Do these novellas set during earlier gaps in the Rivers timeline lack a sense of jeopardy?  How successful is Ben Aaronovitch writing as a teenage girl? How many cheese puffs out of five will we give it? Next episode we come bang up to date with the most recent main novel, False Value.

We explore some of our favorite crime novels, the genre at large as part of mystery, and pick apart the differences between detective novels (tending to support law & order) vs caper novels (tending to be anti-establishment or radical) and the exceptions. Crime and caper novels can be historic or modern, and cross every genre. What do you need to think about when writing crime stories? We have some ideas. … Continue...Episode 102 – Crime and Euphemisms

For the first time in the podcast we leave Peter, The Folly and London behind as we investigate uncanny events in Trier, Germany with a new team.

Some have direct implications for the unfolding story in London, particularly the nature of  River Gods and their offspring.

The Follycast Episode 4: Broken Homes In this month’s episode… …we discuss ‘Whispers Underground’, the fourth novel in the Rivers Of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. In Broken Homes, Peter finds a whole new set of senior officers to annoy as bodies pile up across the home counties and South London. All roads lead to Skygarden tower, a fictional, but strangely familiar, tower block in Elephant & Castle. Peter and Lesley move in together, but not in the way many of us would have been hoping for back when we were reading book one. We experience a trippy Spring Court on the South Bank, Nightingale manages to lay waste to a farmhouse and the book ends with a huge revelation, much to the relief of hosts Margaret and Richard who have been carefully policing potential spoilers in the first three podcasts. As BBC continuity announcers are fond of saying, “Things will never be the same after this episode of the Follycast.” Credits Hosted by Margaret Holborn and Richard Marks, with Jan Trott and Jennie Beck Produced by Richard Marks for UncertainSmile productions Theme tune: ‘London Is Inspired’ by Cutwater: www.cutwaterband.co.uk.

The Follycast Episode 3: Whispers Underground In this month’s episode… …we discuss ‘Whispers Underground’, the third novel in the Rivers Of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. We review a tale of pigs, potteries, FBI agents, sewers, art installations, Underground raves, earthbenders and time travel hallucination.  The Grant and May partnership is back, but how well is Lesley coping and how has her relationship with Peter evolved? Are the noticeably lower level of horror and the smaller body count good things? If Zach had been more co-operative would that have made for a much shorter book? Does the London Underground feature as much as we were hoping? Eight years on from ‘Whispers Underground’ will Crossrail ever be finished? Meanwhile, as Peter settles down to watch the 2012 Doctor Who Christmas special at the end of his first year at the Folly (yes, everything so far really did all happen in the same year) we close the episode with a Rivers Of London quiz covering the first three books. Play along at home!

The Follycast Episode 2: Moon Over Soho In this month’s episode… …we discuss ‘Moon Over Soho’, the second novel in the Rivers Of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. We all loved the first book, so how does this live up to expectations as a sequel? We welcome important new characters to the series and witness the appearance of a major new foe. We debate some of Peter’s questionable choices, Richard shares his childhood nightmares and we wonder at exactly what point in the future Peter Grant decides to get this all down on paper.  All whilst listening to multiple versions of ‘Body and Soul’ We introduce our first listener feedback section, but there’s no spoiler zone this episode (although the spoiler klaxon does make its debut for the first time).

Welcome to 'The Daily Booktopian,' where our book team goes over the best books you should be reading right now in the time of social isolation and COVID-19. For our thirty-first episode, Mark hosts Cassandra Sharp & Samantha Joice to discuss the books that have been grabbing their attention over the last week.

A grumpy man and a chirpy girl talk pop culture. This time we look at Bob Fosse's All That Jazz, Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) an oratorio based on Monty Python's Life of Brian, and False Value, the latest Rivers of London book by Ben Aaronovitch

The Follycast Episode 1: Rivers Of London In this month’s episode… …we start our look at the Rivers Of London novels by Ben Aaronovitch with – logically enough – Rivers Of London itself, the first book in the series. Will new readers Jennie and Jan share hosts Margaret and Richard’s enthusiasm for the world of the Folly?  In the nail biting finale to the show we find out whether our control sample want to stick with the podcast for the next book or whether we will need a new pair of ‘test subjects’ upon whom to inflict our enthusiasm next time. Before that dramatic reveal we speculate about the influences on the book, London as a character in the novel and the significance of the ‘Molly Folly Bite Time Machine’. We wonder how on earth it could be made into a TV show and, in his desperate attempts to not mention Doctor Who, Richard talks about Sons Of Anarchy for no obvious reason. Richard and Margaret then retire to a spoiler zone to discuss how the book works effectively as a ‘Season Premiere’. What about spoilers? Each show will contain plot points for that particular book but, to not spoil the series for new readers, how the book fits into the series as a whole will be left to the end of each podcast (from 37:20 in this episode), so new readers can skip and come back at a later date.

You might think a man who had a couple of Dr Who serials under his belt (1980's – the Sylvester McCoy era), might rest on his laurels, but like the rest of us Ben Aaronovitch has a living to make. Ben has a solid CV of writing for television and TV spinoffs, but he has recently been making serious waves with his series of supernatural police procedural novels and graphic novels, starting in 2011 with Rivers Of London. He allows that the success of these Peter Grant books has considerably exceeded his expectations. But we're not surprised. There is always room for well-written, funny, urban fantasy, right?.
