Shark Liver Oil

We're back for the new year, and we're doing the sci-fi/horror classic I Am Legend. This isn't your Will Smith adaptation - well obviously it isn't, it's our patented blend of nonsense, idiocy and literature, which is much more enjoyable. And our CGI really is better than theirs. As ever, get in touch with your thoughts on the book, or your thoughts on our take on things: we're [email protected] and @sharkliveroil on Twitter.

We're rounding off our December of Christmas themed material with a look at the ultra-short story by Charles Dickens called The Goblins who Stole a Sexton. It's taken from the Pickwick Papers and is seen by many (including us) as the spiritual dad of A Christmas Carol. It's got goblins, ghastly goings on and a gravedigger called Gabriel Grubb. What's not to love? Send your feedback and suggestions to [email protected] Thanks for listening and have a Happy New Year!

Welcome to a special episode of shark liver oil where we'll be doing things a little differently. For our third part of our guide to A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens we'll be discussing your feedback, reviews from around the world and taking a look at some modern re-tellings of the classic story including: - Mickey's Chistmas Carol - Scrooged - The Muppet Christmas Carol - Blackadder's Christmas Carol So grab a mug of mulled wine and a mince pie and sit back to enjoy a festive feast of podcast prattle! Any feedback etc, send it to [email protected]

It's the last part of our coverage of A Christmas Carol, and we've got jolly ghosts, silent ghosts, a massive feast, a bit of slap and tickle behind the curtains, the stamp collectors of the British Empire, and Ebenezer Scrooge really really seriously failing to take a hint. Also featuring Dave's desperate attempt to feel the simple redemptive joy of a child at one of the most over-used lines in English literature. Next week we're doing the best of the adaptations for our Christmas Special, so get in touch with any suggestions, thoughts and ideas: [email protected], and on Twitter: @sharkliveroil

Wooooo! Woooooooo! Woooooooooo! It's time to combine two of Shark Liver Oil's favourite things - christmas and ghost stories! Yes, it's the first of a three part extravaganza about the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. Ebeneezer Scrooge is a brooding, anti-yuletilde eco-warrior who abhors fossil fuel energy. Jacob Marley is an insubstantial wispy wonder with a fetish for clanking chains and ghostly voyeurism. And Mr G. Christmas-Past is a nostalgia loving smarty pants with a flickering candle flame for a head. With characters like that, it can't fail to be good! If you've any suggestions for modern re-tellings of A Christmas Carol for us to talk about during our christmas special in a couple of weeks, send them in to [email protected]

(Content Note: in this episode we discuss the topic of abuse as it relates to this part of the book.)

We're back, ya phonies, with another slice of our take on this definitely-not-dated-but-actually-classic literature. This week, we're watching Holden deal with a pimp, a taxi driver, at least two overprivileged wankers, two nuns, an old flame and some ducks. And Dave even finds something to like about the book. What do you think? Over-rated teen angst? Deathless brilliance? Let us know at [email protected], or tweet us @SharkLiverOil.
