Sitat historiker og kongehusekspert Ole-Jørgen Schulsrud-Hansen: I mitt kaotiske sinn har jeg lenge grublet på en tematikk som kunne passet for Sidequest: Når får vi den norske spillromanen? Alle generasjoner har sin forfatter som definerer dem og deres verden. Være seg J. D. Salinger og "Catcher in the Rye", eller Roy Jacobsens "seierherrene". Hvis man tenker på hvor mange som faktisk spiller dataspill, er det relevant å tenke også "hvorfor" den norske spillromanen ikke har kommet ennå. Vi har fått den internasjonale versjonen i "Ready Player One", men hvor er den norske?Dere kjenner meg: Jeg er ikke vond å be når sånne meldinger ramler inn i innboksen. Klart det er mulig å prate nesten en hel time om dette?! God helg! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode, I reflect on rereading Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses as a coming-of-age novel and bring it into conversation with one of my favorite books from high school, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. I explore the tragic and beautiful passage into adulthood — the loss of innocence, the grief of seeing the world more clearly, and the difficult courage it takes to keep loving, working, and showing up anyway.I also connect these themes to my work as a therapist with adolescents and young adults, where therapy can become a kind of initiation space — a place to grieve what is lost, discover what is gained, and learn how to care less about the crowd while caring more about the right people. Along the way, I bring in the idea of la lucha — the struggle, the fight, the refusal to let the bastards get you down — as part of what adulthood asks of us.

Long Story Short - Der Buch-Podcast mit Karla Paul und Günter Keil
Joana Osman ist Autorin, Dozentin, Friedensaktivistin und Storytelling-Coach. Sie spricht mit Günter über die Geschichten, die sie besonders geprägt und inspiriert und manchmal auch getröstet haben. Für den Buchclub hat sie vier Bücher mitgebracht, die sie seit Jahren begleiten: von J. D. Salinger über Alice Walker und Mark Twain bis zu Isabel Allende.Es geht um literarische Heldenreisen und um die Frage, warum Geschichten uns nicht nur helfen, die Welt zu verstehen, sondern sie vielleicht auch zu verändern. Denn "alle Geschichten speisen sich aus der Realität und die ganze Realität speist sich aus Geschichten, aus Narrativen, die wir uns über uns selbst und über andere erzählen", so Joana Osman.Alle Bücher dieser Folge:Joana Osman: "Wenn wir vom Fliegen träumen" (C.Bertelsmann), "Am Boden des Himmels" (Atlantik Verlag), "Wo die Geister tanzen" (C.Bertelsmann), "Frieden. Eine reale Utopie" (Penguin), J. D. Salinger: "Franny und Zooey" (Rowohlt Taschenbuch), "Der Fänger im Roggen" (Rowohlt Taschenbuch), Alice Walker: "Die Farbe Lila" (Nagel & Kimche), Mark Twain: "Die Abenteuer des Huckleberry Finn" (Reclam Verlag), Isabel Allende: "Das Geisterhaus" (Suhrkamp Verlag).+++ Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge.

In what promises to be the snappiest episode of the podcast to date, we do a deep dive into the early years of Mike Allred's signature creation, Frank Einstein (sometimes but not exclusively also known as “Madman” in the comics themselves) at Tundra Publishing and Dark Horse Comics. Born of a desire to fuse existentialism with costumed adventure, Allred mixes ‘50s sci-fi movies, Silver Age comics, David Bowie lyrics, a dash of Mary Shelley and J.D. Salinger, and a whole lot of other influences and ingredients. With heart-on-its-sleeve earnestness tempered by gonzo absurdity, Madman asks the big questions: What makes us human? Is evil necessary to define good? Does God exist? But most importantly: Isn't it super-neat-o to have a girlfriend?Discussed in this episode: Madman #1-3, Madman Adventures #1-3, Madman Comics #1-10, plus material from Creatures of the Id #1 (recently and conveniently collected as Madman Omnibus Volume 1 from Dark Horse Comics)Man oh man, did you know you can back the podcast and get a monthly newsletter and Fifth Week Bonus episodes at patreon.com/ironageofcomics?
Welcome to another collaboration between myself and myself and my old ally 'from across the pond', John Fontaine. This conversation takes us through the world of literature—our own personal experiences with it, the books and stories that have influenced us, and the creative process we now use to produce our own literature (non-fincion for myself, fiction, poetry and biography for John). We talk about known literature works such as: Stephen King's IT, The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories, the Bible... We mention authors like J.D.Salinger, Gerald Durrell, Tolkien, Shakespeare and many more. And of course, our own works—especially John's latest spy-novel Turn the Page and my own Father-Wound and the Blueprint for Masculinity. We also reflect on the writing process, its many twists and turns, and what it takes to produce a finished book as an independent author. If you enjoy literature of any kind, this podcast episode has something to offer you! You can watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9fGU_JRb7M

In Jane Stahl's series discussing the literature that informed her life and career, she shares a play that she'd written for a graduate school slide show project featuring characters from a variety of the literature she taught in a class she developed titled "Man's Search for Meaning" in Colorado in the early 1970's. The main characters are Samuel Beckett's bums GoGo & DiDi from Waiting for Godot. They are visited by Franny from Salinger's Franny and Zooey, Emily from Thornton Wilder's Our Town, Sabina and Mr. Antrobus from Wilder's Skin of Our Teeth, Viktor Frankl from Man's Search for Meaning, Meursault from Camus' The Stranger. Each character has advice for the two misfits, advice Jane considered as she discovered herself.
Gilles Paris "L'attrape-mots" (Editions Héloïse d'Ormesson)Jade, adolescente rebelle, est amoureuse de Holden, le protagoniste de L'Attrape-cœurs. Grâce à lui, elle échappe à la tragique réalité de sa vie. Mais qui est-elle vraiment : une enfant blessée, une affabulatrice ? Plongée dans la fragilité de l'adolescence, L'Attrape-mots est un roman tendre, avec J.D. Salinger en guest star. L'histoire d'un amour fictif, à travers un roman doux et sensible sur l'adolescence et la quête de soi. Avec un ton poétique tout en délicatesse, Gilles Paris nous entraine dans un tourbillon d'émotions, et une série de récits emboités comme des poupées russes, allant du faux au vrai, du mensonge à l'apprentissage de soi.Musique : Hu Man "Greentea Peng"Hébergé par Ausha.

At the request of a dear friend, Jane shares pieces of J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey that served as formative in her self-discovery as a 20-year-old beginning her teaching career. Like Franny, Jane found teaching as service to a high calling. Salinger gave her the words to express her intention. Alert: the episode is long and perhaps of interest to literature lovers only.
In this episode, Nancy Griffin welcomes author and SuperAgerSusan Salinger to discuss the hidden barriers women face regarding health and aging. Sue shares her journey of research, personal stories, and practical advice for women to prioritize their well-being, dismantle stigma, and embrace later life with purpose and connection.About SusanSusan Salenger is a non-fiction writer, an avid reader, and a passionate foodie with a particular love for dark chocolate. For more than 25 years, she and her husband owned Salenger Films, a company that produced and distributed corporate training films worldwide.Her book, Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System, was published by She Writes Press on April 12, 2022. The book explores the barriers women face inobtaining the best possible medical care. Salenger examines the persistent gender bias within the healthcare system and the ways in which women are often treated differently from men. Even in recent years, inequities remain.Sue also addresses the internal barriers many women face.Women frequently put their own health behind the needs of their families, and some experience guilt when they become ill, which can influence critical medical decisions and lead to regret. Through extensive research and in-depth interviews, she uncovers the emotional conflicts many women experience when navigating complex healthcare choices.Sidelined includes a comprehensive resource directory offering services and support to help women determine the best path forward for their healthcare needs.Key Takeaways:Self-blame and shame impact women's health decisions. Women often withhold illness due to stigma and cultural expectations. They are ashamed to go to the doctor and embarrassed to ask questions. For many diseases, women have different symptomsfrom men. Autoimmune diseases and Illnesses like heart attacks and chronic pain often have had trouble getting diagnosed. The doctor says “It's all in your head” because there is no data to support women's symptoms, which reinforces women's proclivity to blame themselves. This creates a vicious circle. Many times, Illnesses are random, but we tend to give disease a meaning. There are alcoholics that don't have a liver problem and people with lung cancer that have never smoked. De-stigmatization is the first step on the road to transparency and health. Self-advocacy and soliciting second opinions in critical to navigate a broken healthcare system. Do your research. Understand your diagnosis. Get a second opinion. Social connections, purpose, and community are paramount for mental and physical health. Find something that gives you self-satisfaction and makes you feel good about yourself. Prioritize meaningful connection.

James welcomes Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson and Leeds United fan Ed Salinger on to Clash of the Correspondents ahead of the meeting between the two clubs at Villa Park on Saturday. The title may look beyond Villa, but there's still plenty to play for as they try and hold on to a Champions League qualification spot and they will fancy their chances of going deep in the Europa League too. While for Leeds, despite sitting 15th and only 6 points above West Ham, the general consensus seems to be that they'll be fine after sustained period of positive results and performances. All the key FPL assets covered including defensive assets from both, Morgan Rogers, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. And there's plenty of reason to be interested in their assets, Villa have Wolves after Leeds and Leeds themselves have a great run beginning from GW29.

“Here they come, marching into American sunlight.” In Episode 33, DDSWTNP follow Mao II from this opening line into a chilling view of a mass Moonie wedding at Yankee Stadium, and on into the story of reclusive novelist Bill Gray, whose work, maybe, has a chance of deprogramming the mind and language of Karen Janney, one of the participants in that wedding – but maybe not, given the totalizing dominance by images that this novel documents. Our conversation delves into the several rich dialogues Mao II is known for, especially that about (quoting Bill) the “curious knot that binds novelists and terrorists,” the differing attempts by writers and bomb-makers to “alter the inner life of the culture” and “make raids on human consciousness” that DeLillo juxtaposes in this novel, which follows the writer from his cloying “bunker” to London, Athens, and (almost) Lebanon, while also taking in scenes from Iran, China, and the homeless encampments of lower Manhattan. Throughout we discuss the many followers of and sequels to Mao and Maoism DeLillo analyzes, all the ways his characters foolishly seek, outside the values of deep reading and the novel, scenes of “total vision” and messianic “total being,” the “lightning-lit” language of information and the terrorist's mastery of “the language of being noticed.” We examine in detail as well the effects of Andy Warhol's work as DeLillo sees it; what it means that readers never learn much at all about the content of Bill's famous novels; the commonalities he has with Rushdie, Salinger, Pynchon, and DeLillo himself; and why terrorist go-between George Haddad loves word processors so much. We also have a lot to say about the ailing, injured body and spirit of Bill Gray, as well as the simplicity of spoons and what they might teach us about objects and art. Mao II is a book that, as we say in the episode, sums up much of the DeLillo that came before it, lays the groundwork for the masterpiece to come, and contains so many of what have come to seem over the years since 1991 (and over the run of our episodes) the foundational DeLillo ideas and questions, especially ones about politics, violence, and images. Hope you'll have a listen and, if moved, tell us what you think! Texts referred to in this episode: David Cowart, Don DeLillo: The Physics of Language. Athens: U. of Georgia P., 2002. “Mao II is a sort of rest-and-motion book, to invent a category. The first half of the book could have been called ‘The Book,' Bill Gray talking about his book, piling up manuscript pages, living in a house that operates as a kind of filing cabinet for his work and all the other work it engenders. And the second half of the book could have been called ‘The World.' Here, Bill escapes his book and enters the world. It turns out to be the world of political violence . . . I was nearly finished with the first half of the book before I realized how the second half ought to be shaped. I was writing blind . . .” –“Don DeLillo: The Art of Fiction CXXXV,” The Paris Review 128 (1993): 274-306. Interview by Adam Begley. “I called him Bill Gray just as a provisional name,” DeLillo says. “I used to say to friends, 'I want to change my name to Bill Gray and disappear.' I've been saying it for 10 years. But he began to fit himself into the name, and I decided to leave it.” –Vince Passaro, “Dangerous Don DeLillo,” New York Times Magazine, May 19, 1991 (https://www.nytimes.com/1991/05/19/magazine/dangerous-don-delillo.html) Mark Osteen, American Magic and Dread: Don DeLillo's Dialogue with Culture.

Joyce Maynard has been writing for 53 years. At 18, she landed on the cover of the New York Times Magazine, caught the eye of J.D. Salinger, and disappeared into a relationship that would define her for decades—until she finally told her story and was called a "predator" by Maureen Dowd. In this conversation, Joyce talks about being canceled before canceling was a thing, surviving as a Me Too survivor before Me Too became a movement, and why she returned to Yale at 65 only to discover she reads in the 17th percentile.

With special guest Longinus, the boys drink and review a raspberry cookie stout from Great Lakes Brewing, then discuss a famous American novel. It's not quite a Christmas book, but Holden Caulfield gets kicked out of his prep school just before Christmas, so it's close enough. Longinus starts off with some biographical info on Salinger, then the boys dive into the novel. The book is written as if it's by Holden, a young man of about 16. The novel is all about tone -- about the attitude and perspective of Holden -- his angst and his worries.The whole idea of adolescence was new when The Catcher in the Rye came out, and Salinger tried to capture it in this novel. From Holden's point of view, everything is either depressing, phony, corny, or boring. The Catcher in the Rye is often called a coming of age novel. If you're curious about this classic, give a listen and let us know what you think.

John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family.

In its duration, geographical reach, and ferocity, World War II was unprecedented, and the effects on those who fought it and their loved ones at home, immeasurable. The heroism of the men and women who won the war may be well documented, but we know too little about the pain and hardships the veterans endured upon their return home. As historian David Nasaw makes evident in his masterful recontextualization of these years, the veterans who came home to America were not the same people as those who had left for war, and the nation to which they returned was not the one they had left behind. Contrary to the prevailing narratives of triumph, here are the largely unacknowledged realities the veterans—and the nation—faced that radically reshaped our understanding of this era as a bridge to today. The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II (Penguin, 2025) tells the indelible stories of the veterans and their loved ones as they confronted the aftershocks of World War II. Veterans suffering from recurring nightmares, uncontrollable rages, and social isolation were treated by doctors who had little understanding of PTSD. They were told that they were suffering from nothing more than battle fatigue and that time would cure it. When their symptoms persisted, they were given electro-shock treatments and lobotomies, while the true cause of their distress would remain undiagnosed for decades to come. Women who had begun working outside the home were pressured to revert to their prewar status as housewives dependent on their husbands. Returning veterans and their families were forced to double up with their parents or squeeze into overcrowded, substandard shelters as the country wrestled with a housing crisis. Divorce rates doubled. Alcoholism was rampant. Racial tensions heightened as White southerners resorted to violence to sustain the racial status quo. To ease the veterans' readjustment to civilian life, Congress passed the GI Bill, but Black veterans were disproportionately denied their benefits, and the consequences of this discrimination would endure long after the war was won. In this richly textured examination, Dr. Nasaw presents a complicated portrait of those who brought the war home with them, among whom were the period's most influential political and cultural leaders, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Dole, and Henry Kissinger; J. D. Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut; Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Stewart. Drawing from veterans' memoirs, oral histories, and government documents, Dr. Nasaw illuminates a hidden chapter of American history—one of trauma, resilience, and a country in transition. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This one's a little break from the usual — it's me talking to a friend about my new novel, Look, I'm Gone with a particular emphasis on the iconic American author JD Salinger, who has a meaty role as a character in my book, playing himself, kind of a first for Salinger, who passed away in 2010. My friend Ted Cleary is a writer, artist, and musician from New York City. He studied English and history at Columbia University and has taught writing and literature for several decades. He's been a landscape gardener, assistant district attorney, and stroke oar for an American rowing team racing traditional Irish fishing boats in western Ireland. Two energetic novellas, At the End of the World and Song of the Cicada, are available on Amazon, and he has recently launched Substack as tedcleary1.

In my conversation with Josh Salinger, founder and CEO of Birds Mouth Design Build, I learned that the traditional definition of Architect is “master builder” or “chief builder”. Historically, this individual was fully responsible for both the design of a building and the direct supervision and execution of its construction. The ultimate design charrette to determine the goals for a specific project as well as a way to define what a design build firm aims to accomplish. Josh is not a modern-day architect, but he and his company embody the traditional definition and are designing, supervising and executing the construction of buildings in order to integrate the client's goals with Birds Mouth goal of building high performance homes using the passive house model.Josh Salinger on LinkedInBirds Mouth Design BuildYou Tube Site Visit: Birds Mouth Design Build

In this episode we hear Troy Salingers article called “AnsweringRabbi Tovia Singer: Jewish Hermeneutics/The Resurrection of The Messiah on 3rdDay”. The article appears on Salinger's “Let the Truth Come Out” website.Salinger begins by outlining the interpretive methods usedby ancient Jewish rabbis, contrasting them with the typical modern Christianemphasis on literal, historical–grammatical interpretation (peshat). In Jewishtradition, while the plain sense of a text was recognized, it was oftensecondary to deeper interpretive layers such as midrash—an approach of“mining” the scriptures for hidden meanings beneath the surface.To illustrate, Salinger cites an example from the Talmud inwhich a rabbi derives a messianic era of four hundred years from two unrelatedpassages simply because they used the same word afflict. Another exampleis from Midrash Rabbah, where a single ordinary verse is applied to sixdifferent people or events in Jewish tradition—including the Messiah—ratherthan simply to the plain meaningSalinger then shows how New Testament authors employ similarmethods: for instance, in the Gospel of Matthew the event of Jesus' flight intoEgypt and return is linked to Hosea 11:1 (“Out of Egypt I called My son”), eventhough the plain context of Hosea addresses Israel's historical situation inEgypt. These midrashic methods were normative in ancient Jewish hermeneutics.Turning to the work of Tovia Singer, Salinger contends that RabbiSinger criticizes New Testament writers for misusing the Tanakh (HebrewScriptures) but fails to apply the same standard to the rabbinic interpretershe otherwise praises. Specifically, Rabbi Singer is accused of ignoring orminimizing how the rabbis themselves freely used midrashic interpretation,while insisting that the New Testament authors are being deceptive when they dothe same. Salinger calls this approach “disingenuous,” suggesting that Rabbi Singercapitalizes on Christian ignorance of Jewish interpretive traditions in orderto undermine Christian claims about Scripture and fulfillment.Hebrew Vocabulary:Tanach:the Hebrew Scriptures, “Old Testament”Pashat:plain or “simple” meaning of the textmidrash:“enquiry”, commentary or interpretation of the Hebrew Bible usually findingdeeper meaningsResources:Answering Rabbi Tovia Singer:Jewish Hermeneutics/The Resurrection of The Messiah on 3rd Dayhttps://letthetruthcomeoutblog.wordpress.com/2025/10/29/answering-rabbi-tovia-singer-jewish-hermeneutics-the-resurrection-of-the-messiah-on-the-third-day/#d500256e-a368-4a8a-8cf0-a0ff46f15f5a-linkOne God Report Podcasts with author Troy SalingerPre-IncarnateAppearances of Jesus in the OT: Truth or Mythhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUqWXumvcp5p1klRmE6uAaU7uGSOMDuCX Is the "Memra" the Pre-incarnateSon of God?https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUqWXumvcp5rvmD5Q9dO68RFlfeg_cc8C
Nearly 16.4 million Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II, and for millions of survivors, the fighting left many of them physically and mentally broken for life. There was a 25% death rate in Japanese POW camps like Bataan, where starvation and torture were rampant, and fierce battles against suicidal Imperial Japanese forces, like at Iwo Jima, where 6,800 Americans died. Additionally, the psychological toll of witnessing Holocaust atrocities and enduring up to three years away from home intensified the war’s brutality. This is why when they returned home, they had physical and psychological wounds that festered, sometimes for years, sometimes for decades, and sometimes for the rest of their lives. Veterans suffering from recurring nightmares, uncontrollable rages, and social isolation were treated by doctors who had little understanding of PTSD, a term that didn’t enter the DSM until 1984. Returning veterans and their families were forced to double up with their parents or squeeze into overcrowded, substandard shelters as the country wrestled with a housing crisis. Divorce rates doubled, with more than 1 million GIs leaving or being left by their wives by 1950. Alcoholism was rampant, and an entire generation became addicted to smoking. To explore this dark shadow that hung over the WW2 generation, we’re joined by David Nasaw, author of The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II. Those affected include the period’s most influential political and cultural leaders, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Dole, and Henry Kissinger; J. D. Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut; Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Stewart. We look at the ways the horrors of World War 2 shaped their lives, but we also see incredible resilience and those who found ways to move past the horrors of their wartime experiences, and what we can learn from that today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Well, there's no way around it: the very first feature is about Black activism, written by a white author (Kim) who gets no help from her editor on how not to sound tone-deaf as she describes being judged by the color of her skin or feeling unwelcome in Black spaces. So let's quickly dispense with it and move on to the rest. Karen finds three couples to talk about their couplehood.

It's another battle at the bottom on Clash of the Correspondents as James is joined by Leeds United fan Ed Salinger and West Ham United fan Chris Stone to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of the Friday night game at Elland Road. For Leeds, there have been positives and negatives so far and they are currently above Friday night's opponents, but can they score enough to stay above those below them? For West Ham, Monday's horror show against Brentford has caused real concern that they themselves face a genuine fight to stay up. There's a deep dive into Nuno Espirito Santo's start and the failings in the Brentford loss. Plus all the important FPL discussion features Joe Rodon, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen.

Show Notes: December 8th, 1980. New York City. John Lennon is gunned down outside The Dakota, and the world loses a Beatle. When police arrest his killer, Mark David Chapman, they find him carrying a copy of The Catcher in the Rye—a book that, for him, blurred the lines between fiction and murder. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore the haunting artifact at the center of this infamous crime. From the history of The Beatles and J.D. Salinger's iconic novel to Chapman's obsession and New York's dark night, we unpack the symbolism of that paperback. We'll also follow the journey of this chilling collectible—right to the auction block.
What do J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and the Holy Bible have in common? They both contain explicit instructions to kill John Lennon—or at least, according to Mark David Chapman, they do. And guess what? Chapman's been up to some stuff since that fateful day in 1980 when he snuffed out the life of the quote-unquote “Smart” Beatle. In this episode, the boys find out exactly what the fame-hungry murderer has been up to since our original coverage of him in Episode 315 on the Last Podcast on the Left—which includes being denied parole a grand total of THIRTEEN TIMES. Maybe he should've given peace a chance, huh?
