Faking Lit

HAPPY EASTER 420

It's been a long weekend so all I'll say about this one is that we have guests that come in the form of the purest rastafarian Gideon Ponyboy and C.S Lewis drops in to critique his own work and share deeply personal stories about his sex life with a familiar secret agent.

The Dystopia season continues with our discussion of David Mitchell's genre colliding work of literary ventriloquism "Cloud Atlas" and we reveal the secrets of Chin's hot bod, Josh's past life, reveal that Freddie Mercury was an ant and create a haunting work of art. #AllMenAreCool

Featuring Special Guest Experts returning edgelord DeviantArtist Terry Sauce and super hacker supreme B.L.U.E.S.T.E.E.L.T.H.U.N.D.E.R.M.A.C.A.B.R.E.

Sorry this one is so late.

We continue our Unofficial Dystopia Season with a chat about about Philip K Dick's nightmare alternate universe in which the Nazis won the Second World War, taking in diverse topics such as the "Bildenberg" Group, how to adopt a cunning pseudonym and why Nazis are bad.

The Idiots talk about PD James's vision of a childless future, "The Children of Men" and also discuss related matters such as sperm counts, Fortnite and various substances that are stored in the balls.

Featuring Special Guest Experts Emily McQuade and Fortnite champion T3st1cul4r C4nc3r.

The Idiots grapple with Aldous Huxley's vision of a world where humanity has been pacified and controlled by sex and drugs and we ask whether it is more relevant now than it has ever been. Along the way we discuss artificial insemination, who in the room is an Alpha and who is a Gamma and play a couple of games of "3,2,1 Break!"

Featuring Special Guest Experts... you know what, it's late and this is my third attempt to upload this and type out a description because Soundcloud was having a meltdown, and I can't even spell one of the names, so I'll leave it with you.

MWAH I KISS YOU

Remember that guy with that website?

This week the Idiots get all sentimental and romantic with George Orwell's terrifying vision of an inescapable, totalitarian future, "Nineteen Eighty-Four", arguably the most romantic of all the Dystopian works we are covering in our unofficial Dystopia series, and not something that I've forced into shape in response to the caprices of the marketplace - we chart the enduring legacy of Nineteen Eighty-Four and its influence of middle-of-the-road television programming - find out how Eric Arthur Blair became George Orwell - examine how height is intrinsically linked to power structures - confront our own fears as we each describe our own personal Room 101.

Featuring Special Guest Expert Policeman Montague, a Camden Borough Police Officer.

Wells genre defining fourth dimensional adventure "The Time Traveller" - Fitz drops by to lay out his latest business venture and tell us incredible tales of the Future (both the place in time and the trap rapper) - Chin tries out the latest food craze Huel and reports back on his findings - we hear strange and bizarre Future Music (both the place in time and the trap rapper).
