Podcast appearances and mentions of scott fitzgerald

In today's episode, Stephen and Mark talk about two short stories from author Alix E. Harrow. They have reviewed her work before when they discussed her novels "The Ten Thousand Doors of January" and "Starling House".  Tonight's bourbon is Old Orleans from The Beautiful & The Damned Distillery. Some of you might notice that the name of the distillery also happens to be the title of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. Don't know who good old F. Scott is?  Well, first, crawl out of the caves, you loveable morlock!  Second, he wrote The Great Gatsby and Tender Is The Night. The label on the bottle is a depiction of Moby Dick, and the name Old Orleans is a reference to the influence New Orleans had on the evolution of bourbon in America.  See that?  Culture with just a glance!   Home :: The Beautiful and the Damned Whiskey Author | Alix E. Harrow

“Let me tell you about the very rich”, Scott Fitzgerald once said. “They are different from you and me”. One way they are different, the New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos reports, is that they own yachts - very very big, expensive yachts. In The Haves and The Have-Yachts, Osnos' dispatches about today's ultrarich, he takes us on board these boats to reveal the obscenity of our new gilded age. From Mark Zuckerberg's obsession with Augustus Caesar to the thin-skinned grievances of figures like Marc Andreessen and Elon Musk, Osnos explores how the personal quirks and anxieties of just 19 American plutocrats - the 0.00001% - are now reshaping our entire society. He argues we're living in an era of "flamboyant oligarchy," where billionaires openly flaunt their wealth. Citing the extraordinary tableau of tech moguls lining up in homage to Trump at his inauguration, Osnos describes our age as "the complete and total fusion of politics and plutocracy in the United States." five key takeaways1. We're Living in an Era of "Flamboyant Oligarchy" Unlike past wealthy elites who stayed hidden ("a whale that never surfaces doesn't get harpooned"), today's billionaires openly compete for attention and flaunt their wealth, fundamentally changing the relationship between extreme wealth and public life.2. Just 19 People Could Control 18% of America's Wealth The 0.00001% - currently 19 Americans - control 1.8% of national wealth today. If current trends continue, this could reach 18% within 40 years, representing an unprecedented concentration of economic power in human history.3. Personal Quirks Have Massive Social Consequences Billionaires' individual obsessions and blind spots shape society at scale - from Facebook being blue because Zuckerberg is colorblind, to his Augustus Caesar fixation influencing how he thinks about power and empire-building.4. The Complete Fusion of Politics and Plutocracy Trump's inauguration, featuring tech moguls "lined up in homage," represents the total merger of political and economic power in America - what Osnos calls a "sultanistic oligarchy" where billionaires have elevated Trump to rule on their behalf.5. Billionaires Are Surprisingly Thin-Skinned and Aggrieved Despite their wealth, figures like Musk and Andreessen are easily offended and resentful about public criticism, leading them not to retreat but to actively seek control over politics and media to reshape the narrative in their favor.

2025 marca el primer centenario de la publicación de El gran Gatsby, la novela con que F. Scott Fitzgerald se consagró como uno de los autores más importantes de la literatura universal. Su impacto va más allá de los libreros y se ha enquistado en toda la tradición cultural, sobre todo a partir de la posguerra. Es un retrato de la sociedad norteamericana de los "locos años veinte", pero sobre todo de los laberintos melancólicos del alma humana y en este episodio David y Joserra la platican desde sus perspectivas lectoras, deteniéndose en los temas que no por ser de todos dejan de ser de uno. Hay novelas que a cada quien nos recuerdan el barro del que venimos y esta, definitivamente, es una de esas.

This week on Kentucky Focus, Scott Fitzgerald explores two very different stories—both driven by urgency, legacy, and the quiet power of showing up. One is about stepping forward when time is tight.The other? About what it means to leave something behind that lasts far beyond you. From heartbeats to heritage, we're tapping into the things that truly matter—especially when no one's watching. 

Welcome to a new series of episodes on another wonderful book. It's our first re-read here on Close Reads and it's timely, too, since The Great Gatsby just turned 100 years old! So join in as we discuss what's made F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel last a century, what makes Nick Carraway a compelling narrator, the tragic longing at the nostalgic core of the story, and much more. Happy listening! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit closereads.substack.com/subscribe

'Den store Gatsby' af F. Scott Fitzgerald handler ved første øjekast om kærlighed, rigdom og fester, men det, som har gjort den til en ikonisk amerikansk roman, er den langt mørkere fortælling om illusioner, tomhed og jagten på en storslået drøm, som gemmer sig under overfladen. Fitzgerald var del af den såkaldte Lost Generation og berømt for sine skarpe beskrivelser af 1920’ernes dekadente overflod og moralske tomhed. Hans eget liv lignede ofte en roman: stormfuldt, glitrende og tragisk. 'Den store Gatsby' regnes i dag for en af de største amerikanske romaner nogensinde, en tidløs klassiker, som fortsat fascinerer med sit sprog, sine symboler og ikke mindst den evige jagt på noget bedre. Det og meget mere taler litteraturredaktør Jes Stein Pedersen om med Politikens mangeårige litteraturkritiker, Bo Tao Michaelis i anledning af, at 'Den store Gatsby' fylder 100 år.

Zelda Fitzgerald basically defined the iconic image of a flapper from America's Jazz Age. She was immortalized in fiction by her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, who is (debatably) the great American novelist. Sadly, the way he portrayed the sadness behind the glitter and glitz was all too real as well. Zelda was beautiful, witty, charming, and talented, but mental illness, alcohol, financial worries, and misogyny all took their toll.

This week on Kentucky Focus with Scott Fitzgerald, we're exploring unexpected opportunities, untold challenges, and a few twists that may just change how you see the Bluegrass State. From second chances to shifting paths—and even a deadline that's not what it seems—you'll hear stories that hit close to home. Plus, a look at how the game is changing in Kentucky sports, on and off the field. Tune in for the conversations Kentuckians didn't know they needed.

Patrick O'Sullivan Greene is back on the show to promote his new book about F. Scott Fitzgerald.  Fitzgerald's Irish heritage was such an interesting part of his identity.  A part of his identity with which he sometimes struggled.  

A century ago, America was the literary and intellectual powerhouse of the world. Black writers defined the black experience in the Harlem Renaissance, F. Scott Fitzgerald captured the glamour and hypocrisy of the jazz age in The Great Gatsby and thousands of detective, western and sci fi pulp novels were published, creating the foundations of modern genre fiction. Today we hear from Tom Lutz, founding editor of the LA Review of Books and author of 1925: A Literary Encyclopaedia and explore this extraordinary explosion of thought and literature. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

Get ready for Gatsby 2: Gatz Harder! In the second installment of their deep dive into The Great Gatsby, the TMI guys follow the novel’s improbable rise from critical failure to cultural cornerstone. When it was first published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece was dismissed as a “literary lemon meringue” and sold fewer than 25,000 copies in his lifetime. He died thinking he'd been forgotten, but within a decade, the book was rediscovered — by soldiers, scholars, and eventually Hollywood. Jordan and Heigl unpack its long, often cursed journey to the screen, including the disastrous silent version that Fitzgerald and Zelda walked out of, and a 1949 remake plagued by moral censors and a suicidal director. But nothing beats the real-life drama of the 1974 adaptation, which was nearly derailed by a real-life love triangle: producer Robert Evans commissioned the film for his wife, Love Story star Ali MacGraw — only for her to leave him for co-star Steve McQueen before filming began. She was replaced by Mia Farrow, while a distracted Robert Redford spent much of the shoot glued to Watergate coverage. Jordan and Alex also look at Baz Luhrmann’s glittery 2013 remake, complete with 100,000 liters of fake rain, Jay-Z’s much-maligned soundtrack, and Tobey Maguire being weird. It’s a tale of art, obsession, reinvention — and a few of Heigl's rants.

Harold Meyerson comments on the GOP's "grotesquely cruel" budget – starting with the impossible work requirements for Medicaid, and then Trump's broken campaign promise NOT to cut Medicare.Also: “A rally a day keeps the fascists away” – that's what Jamie Raskin says. He's the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, and he talks about Trump's “world historical grift,” and why we shouldn't be pessimistic about defeating his efforts.Plus: 20 minutes without Trump: 1925 is being celebrated this year as the centenary of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald -- but we're interested in some of the other books published that year. So we turn to Tom Lutz – his new book is titled “1925: A Literary Encyclopedia.” It's 800 pages long, and only 7 are on “Gatsby."

Put on your pink suit and gas up the yellow car — in this episode, we’re partying like it’s 1925 as your beloved bootleggers of banality uncover the secret history behind The Great Gatsby, which turns 100 this year. In the first installment of their two-part Jazz Age jamboree, Jordan and Heigl trace the tangled roots of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s American fever dream: the heartbreaks, hangovers, high society snubs, and haunted summer nights that inspired Gatsby’s green-light longing. You’ll discover the excruciating real-life heartbreak that yielded Daisy, meet the mysterious New York bootlegger who planted the seeds for Gatsby, and learn all about the unsolved double-homicide that sparked the violent ending. You’ll also hear how Scott’s messy personal life blurred into his most famous novel. From the prep school poetry to the Princeton parties, to literary rivalries and even his rumored affair with Hemingway, they'll explore how a poor Midwestern boy wrote the book that defined a generation — and maybe doomed himself in the process. It’s a story of love, lies, reinvention, and ruin. Although you can’t repeat the past, these guys can podcast about it.

Send us a textF. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby may be the novel everyone's talking about this month, but let's not forget another “Jazz Age” novel that took this country by storm. Ursula Parrott's Ex-Wife, a tragicomic indictment of early 20th-century romance, brought the author immense fame and wealth at the time of its publication in 1929. Yet by her death in 1957 she was penniless and homeless, a fate she all but predicted in the cautionary commentary of her writing. Our episode on Parrott (with her biographer, Marsha Gordon) originally aired two years ago this week, and we're marking Spring Break with an encore presentation — including some updates on efforts to make sure Parrott isn't confined to obscurity again.Links: Ex-Wife by Ursula ParrottBecoming the Ex-Wife by Marsha GordonThe Great Gatsby by F.

This week, we learn all about one of Anna's favorite authors/historical nemeses. It's complicated. Let's talk about F. Scott Fitzgerald!

On this episode of the PAW Book Club podcast, we speak with Sash Bischoff from Princeton's Class of 2009 about her debut novel and our latest book club read, “Sweet Fury.” From the very first page, “Sweet Fury” takes the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald, famously of Princeton's Class of 1917, and begins to play. A famous actress and film director, characters named Lila and Kurt, are collaborating on a feminist adaptation of “Tender is The Night.” Then into the mix strides a psychotherapist named Jonah, a character awfully similar to Jay Gatsby. The story unfolds in some surprisingly dark directions, including one disturbing scene set at a Princeton eating club, and prospective readers should note that this podcast will contain spoilers as we probe the ideas and intentions that ran through Sash's head as she wove this story, building up her characters — and destroying some in the end.

A century after “The Great Gatsby” was first published, F. Scott Fitzgerald's slender novel about a mysterious, lovelorn millionaire living and dying in a Long Island mansion has become among the most widely read American fictions — and also among the most analyzed and interpreted. As the Book Review's A.O. Scott wrote in a recent essay about the book's centennial: “What we think about Gatsby illuminates what we think about money, race, romance and history.

The 1920s and the 2020s share a special kinship. One hundred years ago, the U.S. was grappling with a mix of growth, technological splendor, and generational anxiety—a familiar cocktail (albeit, from an era where cocktails were illegal). The era's young people felt uniquely besieged by global forces. “My whole generation is restless," F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in This Side of Paradise. “A new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success; grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." America was changing. And change always implies a kind of loss. We were moving toward cars and cities and manufacturing. And that meant we were moving away from horses and farmland and agriculture. And so, in 1930, just months into the Great Depression, Herbert Hoover signed a new piece of legislation to restore farmers to their previous glory. It was a great big tariff—the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. Rather than save the economy, it deepened the depression. Today, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff is one of the most infamous failures in the history of American politics. To suggest that it holds lessons for this moment in history is to state the obvious. Our guest is Douglas Irwin, an economist and historian at Dartmouth University and an expert on the economic debates of the Great Depression. We talk about the economic motivations of the Smoot-Hawley tariff, the congressional debates that shaped it, the president who signed it, and the legacy it left. We talk about the economic instinct to preserve the past—an instinct that has never gone away in American history—and the profound irony, that some efforts to return America to its former glory can have the unintended effect of robbing America of a richer future.

It's the UConn Popcast, and on the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, we explore what The Great Gatsby means in America today. In this deep-dive we ask: What did Gatsby mean in 1925, and how have those meanings changed in 2025? What mythologies of America does Gatsby circulate, and challenge? How does Gatsby read to a Brit who never read it in high school, and to an American who only encountered it as an adult? Is Nick Carraway right that Gatsby is the only pure soul in the story? Can we rescue utopian imaginings from this dystopic picture of America? Is there a hidden story of race submerged beneath Gatsby's overt story of class? Learn more about your ad choices.

When he published The Great Gatsby 100 years ago this week, F. Scott Fitzgerald thought he'd written the Great American Novel. But it was a commercial flop.

John J. Miller is joined by Titus Techera of the American Cinema Foundation to discuss 'Tender Is the Night' by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

"I want to write something new," American author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in a letter to his editor, "something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned." Months later, he presented the results: the novel that would eventually be titled The Great Gatsby. Published in 1925 to middling success, the book has since become a candidate for the Great American Novel, selling more than copies in a month than the book sold during Fitzgerald's entire lifetime. In this episode, Jacke talks to Fitzgerald scholar James West about his work editing the Cambridge Centennial Edition of The Great Gatsby, which celebrates 100 years of this enduring tale of illicit desire, grand illusions, and lost dreams, delivered in lyric prose by an author writing at the peak of his powers.
