Hi Everyone! I'm back with a quick episode before the end of the year. In this episode, I look back on some of my favorite moments and lessons from 2023.

1+ y ago2:01:48

2:01:48

The day has come. After a very long hiatus, we are back, with a brand new episode in tow. Isaac Butler joins us (at the 35 minute mark) to discuss Murdoch's style, her debt to Shakespeare, and the confounding-but-brilliant way she handled structure and perspective in her novels. An hour later, we switch over to the NBA, with a look at whether any o…

27:00

Dare I say it - I'm back with another episode y'all! Today I'm taking you into my college classroom and teaching you how to be an aesthetic gworlie. It starts off relatively shallow but we definitely get deep and introspective as concepts unravel. Thank you so much for listening. Feel free to share comments with me on twitter @lunchwithlaide and do…

Episode 11: On Rejection, Self-Awareness, and Growth 28:13

2y ago28:13

28:13

2022. I didn't set any goals for this year and part of that translated into me taking a "backseat" from myself and observing how and where things will go. A good chunk of my retreat from creativity was fueled by my exhaustion from rejections from programs I applied to last year. But its a Friday night and I'm feeling bubbly so here's a new episode;…

1:41:44

It's all about the aesthetics on this edition of the Jersey Boys pod, babe. We chat the wonders of the great game day experiences of some of our favourite baseball stadiums, the ones that don't work quite as well, and why baseball is unique in this space of sports.

Numbers, But We Digress 1:39:47

2+ y ago1:39:47

1:39:47

We talkin' numbers! Also Crypto.com, terrible shots of the midwest, 50-piece nuggets, new sports card memorabilia ideas, etc - but we digress. The main theme here is NUMBERS. The numbers on kits we like, we don't like, the iconic ones, the unique ones for just us. Also as per usual, our hottest and coldest kits of the week, including the Miami Heat…

No Country to Kit Shame Old Men 1:25:22

2+ y ago1:25:22

1:25:22

Some early chat on the pod about the NBA City kits starting to hit the floor, before we dive into the archaic idea that purveys in some dark areas of the sports world in which there is judgement brought on grown adults (and in the instance of the comments we discuss here, women of any age) who wear sports kits. Why must we judge something that hurt…

Episode 100: MOBY. EFFING. DICK. 2:55:16

3y ago2:55:16

2:55:16

It is time, on this the 100th and final Fans Notes, to talk about THE GOAT, by which we mean of course THE WHALE. That's right, folks; we decided to enter the belly of the leviathan alongside Ahab, Melville, Queequeg and his husband Ishmael, and all the other presences--mortal, demonic or spermacetaceous-- that may be stowed away on board the Pequo…

Episode 99: Charles Portis 1:31:00

3+ y ago1:31:00

1:31:00

In our penultimate episode (for now, at least!), we celebrate the work of this master of American comic voice who died early last year. Here's an hour of us giggling and gasping and quoting at length from the five novels he published in his life, and I think it's fair to say that listeners will find the experience to be either joyful or tedious, an…

1:10:44

We're delighted to welcome Elisa Gabbert back to the pod, and grateful that she was willing to come on and talk with us about this odd, hilarious and unforgettable book.

Episode 96: Our Least Favorite Books 1:27:09

3+ y ago1:27:09

1:27:09

On this hateful, hate-fueled pod, we discuss novels and authors that occupy a special place in our personal circles of book hell. And after that, a discussion of James Harden to the now very hateable Brooklyn Nets!

Episode 95: Denis Johnson's TRAIN DREAMS 58:17

3+ y ago58:17

58:17

We regret to inform you that, in the course of our discussion of TRAIN DREAMS, we got waylaid in a STONER-shaped ditch. We spend a good deal of time fruitlessly comparing the two books, while trying to pin down what exactly Johnson is up to in this novella. At the 40 minute mark, we praise the Hawks and Suns for choosing a direction for their respe…

Episode 94: Pod Le Carre 1:12:18

3+ y ago1:12:18

1:12:18

We discuss John Le Carre's CALL FOR THE DEAD, the first of the Smiley books. Why is George Smiley such an indelible character, and what was it about the Cold War and East Germany that played to Le Carre's strengths? Then a brief discussion of the Giannis supermax, James Harden, and coolness as a cultural value.…

Episode 93: John Williams' STONER 1:08:23

3+ y ago1:08:23

1:08:23

Our mileage varies on STONER, which is either movingly muted or grayly inert, depending on which of us you ask. We interrogate the book's tone for clues as to whether it valorizes or deplores its main character's incurable passivity. At the 50 minute mark, we debrief on the distressed asset trade the Rockets and Wizards made, swapping Russell Westb…

Episode 92: The Accountability Pod 1:15:04

3+ y ago1:15:04

1:15:04

On this (possibly not) long-awaited pod, we sift back through five years of NBA Draft episodes. What did we get right, what did we get not so right, and how might we adjust our draft philosophy in the future? And, most importantly, who picked Zhou Qi as a top-five prospect? Join us on a special trip down Hot Take lane!…

Hi everyone, It has been a minute; thank you for your patience.

Episode 91: James Hamilton-Paterson's COOKING WITH FERNET BRANCA / 2020 Draft Big Boards! 1:35:21

3+ y ago1:35:21

1:35:21

It's feast and famine on today's pod, beginning with the peculiar delicacy that is James Hamilton-Paterson's acridly farcical 2004 novel COOKING WITH FERNET BRANCA. Whether it adds up to anything more than a collection of delectable jokes is not clear, but it sure tastes good on the way down. Alas, at the 28 minute mark, we turn our attention to th…

Episode 90: Formative Books 1:05:24

3+ y ago1:05:24

1:05:24

On this episode, we discuss the books and authors that have shaped us as writers and readers. Never before, probably, have Roald Dahl, Gore Vidal, Joan Didion, and Elmore Leonard (and many others) been featured in the same conversation!

Episode 89: Jan Morris' HAV 1:05:36

3+ y ago1:05:36

1:05:36

In this episode, we discuss Jan Morris's delightful imaginary travelogue HAV, as well as the fact that with the election looming, we may not quite be in the mood for delightful imaginary travelogues. After that, we recap an NBA Playoffs that, unlike most things in 2020, was not soul-destroyingly awful. Next up James Hamilton-Paterson's COOKING WITH…

Episode 88: The Woman in the Window 41:32

4y ago41:32

41:32

In this formerly subscribers-only episode, we discuss AJ Finn/Dan Mallory's execrable/nefariously brilliant 2018 thriller THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW, which has since been turned into a splashy and terrible Netflix movie. What do we look for in commercial thrillers? And how does this very bad book succeed where better-written versions fail?…

Episode 87: The Papa Pod 1:04:50

4y ago1:04:50

1:04:50

It's time to discuss Ernest Hemingway. How did he become online enemy number one? Is he underrated at this point? And have we actually read any of his books? Plus: a preview of the Lakers-Heat NBA Finals!

Episode 86: Elisa Gabbert's THE UNREALITY OF MEMORY 1:59:13

We're delighted to welcome Elisa Gabbert onto the pod to talk about her brilliant essay collection The Unreality of Memory, which was published in August. (Buy it! It is certain to be one of the best books you read this year.) Elisa also joined us for a discussion of Heinrich von Kleist's the supremely odd and wonderful nineteenth century novella M…

Hey y'all, a few weeks ago I created a Google form and asked a couple people on my contact list to send me questions for this episode. Someone asked me "How did you know what you really wanted to do?" and so here's this episode on my path to becoming a Biochemist. I hope you enjoy it <3.

Episode Two : Yes, I had a Wattpad Phase 27:56

4y ago27:56

27:56

Hey everyone !!!!! Welcome back to my podcast. I tweeted a couple days ago that this episode would be full of some cringey moments - I had a Wattpad phase so you know I had to pull out some of my old works from that time for a quick storytime. This episode is filled with Wattpad content, nostalgia because who uses Skype anymore, the word "anyways" …

Episode 85: Sandra Newman and the return of the NBA 1:29:56

1:29:56

We're extremely grateful to Sandra Newman for taking the time to talk about her 2019 novel THE HEAVENS with us. It's a moving and wondrous book, and one that we highly recommend people read. After our conversation with Sandra, at about the fifty minute mark, we turn our attention to the NBA restart. We marvel at the remarkable success of the bubble…

Episode 84: Ben Lerner's The Topeka School 1:21:06

4y ago1:21:06

1:21:06

We spent so much time arguing (productively!) about whether or not the ending of this book is any good that we almost didn't leave ourselves time to discuss the rest of the book, which we agree is exceptionally good! For our next episode, we'll be reading Sandra Newman's most recent novel, THE HEAVENS.…

Episode 82: Franzen-pod 1:28:39

4y ago1:28:39

1:28:39

Maybe quarantine wasn't the best time to hunker down inside a 600-page book called Freedom that tracks the hill-of-beans problems of three unhappy midlifers across the Bush era. Nevertheless, we persisted. The result is a mandatorily spaced pod recorded en plein air on Adam's front porch, with shimmering wind and truck noise as accompaniment. Enjoy…

Episode 81: Joseph O'Neill's Netherland 1:04:30

4+ y ago1:04:30

1:04:30

In what may be the last pod we record face-to-face for a while, we dig into Joseph O'Neill's wonderful 2008 novel about marriage, cricket, and 9/11. Its portrait of a man flailing about for a proper response to a world in crisis chimed eerily with the vibe in America at the moment, as we enter the first full week of social distancing to combat coro…
