Back To Betamax

Litopia After Dark
The Devil & Google Are Raging Inside Me
The e-book is barely with us, yet already it’s threatening to undermine the whole publishing edifice. The news that Britain’s WH Smith and Amazon are apparently getting into a price war (Dan Brown at £2.78 …
Back With A Bang!
Our Summer break’s over and we’re back with a bang tonight – with panellists that include the writers’ therapist Dr. Susan O’Doherty from New York, award-winning author and broadcaster Philippa Ballantine from New Zealand, writer …

To E Or Not To E?
How green is your e-book? How much do you care about the environmental impact of the words you read… or about the sweatshop workers who assembled your shiny new iPad? Tonight’s special guest is Raz …

Is the internet a concrete realization of Jung’s collective unconscious? Dave Bartram believes it is, and tonight advances the argument that viral advertising on the net is effective precisely because of this deep psychic connection …
One K Short Of A Dick
Some new faces on tonight’s show – and a surprisingly good turnout in the chatroom (maybe seeking solace from England’s dire performance at the World Cup, taking place at the same time as our broadcast). …
Reading, Not Drowning
The nature of reading is changing, and there is much uncertainty about the implications for writers and the publishing industry. Book sales are in general long-term decline, yet some areas (young adult fiction, for example) …

We Are All Misfits
