JRoy is gallivanting around the UK looking at castles, so in his absence we’ve decided to scoop some old material out of the ANA vault: the third show we ever recorded, J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye (feat. a new intro from Jack and Josh).

 

Now we’re very aware that it sounds, in Josh’s words, like it was ‘recorded on an etch-a-sketch’, but it was also the birth of the ‘literatree’, which is worth a listen in itself. Elsewhere Oli and Josh have a squabble about plot and Oli rages against the term ‘unreliable narrator’, while everyone attempts to answer the big question: Is Holden Caulfield (to quote Josh) ‘a bit of a shit’?

 

Normal service will resume in a couple of weeks. The pod is going on an adventure...
