  • The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane Book Discussion
    2024/06/05

    Welcome to our humble little podcast. Season one is rapidly coming to an end. This month is Alex's last pick! He gave Joe an easy one. The brothers buddy-read the lovely and epic children's novel The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo.

    It is a book that Alex absolutely adores. One of those books that once he started reading, he couldn't put it down until he finished it in one sitting. Joe, he's a bit more cynical and wants more blood and glory in his readings, had a bit harder time getting through it. But even the black hearted older brother found some interesting topics that he couldn't stop yammering on.

    Next month is Joe's last pick. He picked the space opera epic from Iain M Banks to wrap the season up. We will all be reading the third Culture book, Use of Weapons. If you have never read the other books in the series, that is okay. This series is designed to be able to be read out of order. So give it a look.

    Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

  • Bonus Episode; Another Fan Recommendation, Beyond the Wand
    2024/05/20

    Today we have another fan recommendation! Sadly, it was a bit of a miss for Joe and Alex this time. Listen to how the brothers discuss how they are such book snobs that they couldn't get into something as interesting as a celebrity memoir. They do have a good time discussing it none the less. And they hope that they get more recommendations in the future. So don't feel shy giving us more books to read!

    Our next regularly scheduled book is going to be out June 5th. It is the children's book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. So make sure that you have subscribed and get the updates on whatever podcast app that you use, so that you don't miss it.

    We hope that you enjoy this episode.

  • The Liar Book Discussion
    2024/05/05

    Welcome to our latest episode. For this month, Alex and Joe read a strange novel by one of Joe's favorite people of all time. We read The Liar by Stephen Fry. This is kind of a spy novel but not. It is also a coming of age novel, but again not. One thing that it is, is funny. Or at least Joe thinks that. Give us a listen to find out why Alex thinks otherwise. And see who you agree with by reading along with us.

    Next month will be another of Alex's picks. The critically acclaimed children's novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. That will be out June 5th. And don't forget to tune in on the 20th of every month for our bonus episodes. The one this month will be another fan recommendation. Excitement!

    Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

    2024/04/20

    Hello all!

    Today's bonus episode was a fan suggestion. This super fan had the request that we read a lost classic called The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread by Don Robertson. This story is one of the novels that got the great Stephen King interested in writing. Give it a listen to see what two lesser known brothers think of it.

    Our next regularly scheduled book is going to be The Liar by another great Stephen. Stephen Fry that is. It will be out May 5th, so make sure you remember to give it a download so that we know that you guys are listening.

    We hope that you enjoy this episode.

  • The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Book Discussion
    2024/04/05

    This month Alex and Joe discuss another controversial book. Today we are talking about The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. We don't delve too deeply into the controversy about the author, as neither of us looked too hard into it. It didn't really have much to do with the assigned reading. What we do discuss though, is how much we both enjoyed rereading this fun little story about an Indian leaving the reservation. We hope you get something out of this discussion also.

    Next month we will be reading The Liar by Stephen Fry. This is a Joe pick. It is a bit more of a complicated reading than this months read. But Joe believes a good change of pace. We will see what Alex has to say about that.

    And don't forget to be on the lookout for our "bonus" episode. We put those out on the 20th of every month. These are book discussions that are generated by other people. Some books we end up loving. Some we don't. Most of them we haven't read before, so it is always an exciting adventure for Joe and Alex to dive into none-the-less.

    Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

  • Bonus Episode; Valliant Women with Becky Guest Hosting
    2024/03/20

    For National Women's Month, we have a special book for everyone. Becky joins Joe to discuss the book Valliant Women by Lena Andrews. It is about the women that helped win World War Two; the brave women that broke tradition to assist our Soldiers and Marines and Navy in whatever capacity that they could. Becky gets her heckles up and Joe makes sure to needle her when appropriate. This one will teach everyone a lot of nearly forgotten and lost history. We highly recommend that people check this book out. Becky skipped a lot of the book, so more information can be delved into reading this one.

    Our next regularly scheduled book, The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, will be out on April 5th. So make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it.

    We hope that you enjoy this episode.

  • Lamb Book Discussion
    2024/03/05

    This month Joe and Alex discuss the book, Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. This was Joe's pick. As he says, one of his top 5 books of all time. This is a controversial book about the "lost years" of Jesus and how he developed his teachings. A perfect book to read leading up to Easter this year, so you can really piss off your overly religious relatives as the heathen that you are.

    Also, Alex says like, like a million times. I had to give up editing them all out, otherwise I would still be working on that. If any of you are listening through Spotify, throw out a comment letting us know how many Alex still said in this podcast. Guilt him a little into trying to talk like an actual adult again please.

    Next month we will be discussing another controversial book. Alex is having us read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie.

    Our bonus episode this month, we will be joined again with everyone's favorite guest host, Becky. She will be doing a special talk on strong women in World War 2 as an homage Women's Month and all those women in our history that have sacrificed to get us to where we are today.

    Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

  • Bonus Episode; Becky talks about two retellings of Cinderella
    2024/02/20

    In this bonus episode, Becky was kind enough to join Joe again and discuss some fairytale retellings. Becky picked out two of her favorite childhood retellings, The Talking Eggs by Robert D. San Souci and Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters by John Steptoe. Becky has lots of questions about why we retell so many fairytales, and why so many are based on women. We would love to hear back from all of our listeners on their theories.

    At the end of this podcast, Joe's mic apparently decided to stop working correctly, and he was completely oblivious to it while it was happening. We apologize. We are trying to figure out what is going on. So please bear with it. We promise we have been better about catching it in other episodes.

    You can listen to the Myths and Legends Podcast episode that Joe mentioned about the Russian version of Cinderella at;

    Our next regularly scheduled episode will be Lamb by Christopher Moore. So stay tuned for that bag of fun.
