This is Fig & Walnut in Bloomsbury, where @jackaldane.bsky.social met @johnyorkestory.bsky.social to discuss Trip to the Moon 🌑
I've started a Substack for bits and pieces. First post asks the pressing question of our times: What Would You Do Alone In A Cage With Nothing But Cocaine?
A perfect match of guest and subject... Every time this podcast returns to a novel it has already covered, it makes me want to re-read it yet again! (The scene with Richard and his son is one of the many Amis that sentences/phrases that has stayed with me.)
🚨NEW EPISODE🚨
@johnyorkestory.bsky.social & @jackaldane.bsky.social sit down over dinner to discuss TRIP TO THE MOON.
📚 How writers succeed and fail to captivate us
📚 Why we keep believing in superheroes
📚 Why storytellers are our favourite drug dealers, & more!
