On Air Book Fair

Wow, our first Merlin Mission! This book is so short and so simple, for like a 9yo reading level, we just bullshit for like two hours. Happy holidays folks!

In the new year we're going to start reading House of the Scorpion, so letsssss get a move on! If you've got any thoughts to share, send a message to [email protected] or on twitter @OnAirBookFair

Please don't get mad at me cast and crew of the The Lightning Thief Musical for using all these great broadway numbers for my transitions.

Anyway, we finally finish this godawful book and have some fun, extremely protracted stupid existential litigations about WHY an afterlife even should exist?!

Next episode we're discussing Magic Treehouse: Christmas in Camelot, or rather we're talking about literally anything else for 2 hours. Then to start 2022, we're going to be reading The House of the Scorpion! Which is a huge tone shift!

Here's the link to Speed Race: Less Sprydal Cut 

This week, as we discuss the first of the Percy Jackson books, we talk at length about the cast of the 1998 Parent Trap movie as well as discontinued sodas and the concept of The West.

We receive messages at [email protected] or on twitter @onairbookfair though we aren't very active yet. So let us know what bloodline summer camp ideology you fall into!

Wanna talk about penis videos?

I'm uploading this at 1:10AM on Nov 1st, so I've failed to get this goosebumps episode before the end of Halloween. Now I'm cursed, I became a sexy werewolf and now everyone wants to rub my belly.

Anyway, we're going to a theme part to ask the big questions, like "who funds this?" and "why did the car explode?". Horror and television awaits in Horrorland! Next week we'll be studying serious historical anthropology of ancient greece with Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. Don't watch the movie, we're gonna read a damn book.

Okay great work everyone, if you'd like to send us a message about the dumb shit we said or have a book you'd like us to pedantically pick apart, send a message to [email protected] or a voicemail at anchor.fm/onairbookfair or twitter @onairbookfair

The one where we talk about Bionicle for a looong time.

A little out of order, and hopefully we'll have the Goosebumps: One Day in Horror Land episode up before the end of October! 

Bionicle holds a special place deep within the brain stems of our hosts, so we get down and dirty in the giant robot brain underground island city of Bionicle lore. Had great times watching old bionicle commercials and pulling audio clips. All the movies are up on youtube free ya know? Have an edible and watch Mask of Light, that's a whole evening.

Got a book and/or childhood obsession you'd like us to pedantically litigate? Send a message to [email protected] or a voicemail at anchor.fm/onairbookfair!

Uhh...what's the buzz amirite? We've recorded an episode about bionicles but I've skipped it for now in favor of getting enough Goosebumps before the month is out. This week, we grapple with RL Stine's seminal work Why I'm Afraid of Bees which begs the question, why does this woman have a binder full of pictures of vulnerable, miserable children?

Next week we're reading Horrorland! If you've got a message for us send it to [email protected] or a voicemail on anchor.fm/onairbookfair

The real terror this halloween is how bad I am at editing and posting these episodes regularly!! So there's gonna be a bunch this October, starting right here, then a Bionicle, then two Goosebumps (unless we fuck it up bad).

But this time, enjoy the bloody conclusion of the 'pacifist' mouse monks just doing a good lot of killin' 

If you have any books you'd like us to read and laboriously pick apart, send a message to [email protected] or leave us a voicemail at anchor.fm/onairbookfair.

What can you do with a sack full of precious metals besides bludgeon an old man to death? This week, we get through the second arc of Brian Jacques' classic rodent fantasy book Redwall, and we took this long to upload because life is difficult. But hey we've already got the next one recorded so I can upload that maybe within a few days from this one!

Got a book you want us to read? In October we're gonna be reading a bunch of Goosebumps books! If you've got any ideas, send an email to [email protected] or send us a message on Anchor.fm/onairbookfair.

Theme music is Nostalgia by Brian Altano.

This podcast HAS. NO. SCHEDULE.

This week, we talk about the first and titular book in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques ("jakes") about kindly medieval mice surviving a rat invasion of their eponymous abbey. Along the way we talk about all kinds of dumb tedious crap. Like the book, this is a more mellow, relaxed and slow podcast than our previous episodes. 

Hey do you know some childhood/adolescent book you think we'd get a kick out of? Or do you have something to berate us about or correct us on? Shoot an email to [email protected] or leave a voicemail at anchor.fm/onairbookfair. Next week, we continue with the second "book" (like an act 2) of the first Redwall book. There's three "book" acts overall and then we may keep reading this or do something else!

Roll back the rock to the dawn of time and sing this song with meeeeee

This week, the lads return from a difficult month of Adult Busy Scheduling to discuss what would happen if magic children went to the cretaceous era to get horrible eviscerated! It's also the most educational episode so far where we all learn about dinosaurs, modern CPR, the politics of carrots, apocrypha, mustard plant variants, the rotation of the earth, meteor impacts, nuclear payloads, temporal determinism, Malthusian ideology and so much more! 

Got something to yell at us about? We take emails at [email protected] AND even some voice messages at anchor.fm/onairbookfair!

Next week, we're reading Redwall by Brian Jacques. In the meantime, get a load of some art prints of animorphs book covers!
