45 min - David Grossman on A Horse Walks into a Bar
'If you are able to make fun of yourself, you are not a victim. The situation that previously has paralysed you lost its power.' WINNER OF THE 2017 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE David Grossman, author of To the End of the Land and Falling Out of Time, joins us to discuss his most recent novel, the prize-winning A Horse Walks into a Bar. He expounds on the book's genesis, the difference between Israeli and Yiddish humour, and the stories we tell ourselves as people and nations.

29 min - The OutsiderThis May we celebrate outsiders: the people on the fringes; those who go against the grain. Irvine Welsh joins us to discuss his friendship with Howard Marks, once Britain’s most wanted man, and author of drug-smuggling travelogue Mr Nice. Tracy Chevalier breaks down her entry in the Hogarth Shakespeare series, New Boy, a remix of Othello set in the school playground. And taking us off the airwaves, J. D. Daniels discusses his idiosyncratic essay collection, The Correspondence, his thoughts on ‘the terror of being alive’, and the crucial difference between British and American lock-ins.

46 min - The Vintage Podcast with Yanis Varoufakis
'The people of Britain chose Brexit – they did not choose which Brexit' Yanis Varoufakis, author most recently of Adults in the Room: My Battle with Europe’s Deep Establishment, was intricately involved in the highest levels of negotiations pertaining to Greece’s position within the EU. Now he campaigns globally for an international progressive alliance. Varoufakis talks with us about the stark choices he faced before, during, and after his tenure as finance minister. Was he willing to become an EU insider or would he remain an outsider? How best to negotiate with technocrats insistent on mutually disadvantageous deals? What will Britain's future look like after Brexit? And what can we do as citizens to slow the global slide into xenophobia, racism, and hopelessness?

28 min - Dystopias: Trump’s First 100 DaysIn this month's podcast we look at President Trump's first hundred days in office and the concurrent rise of interest in dystopian fiction. Will Rycroft joins Howard Jacobson to discuss how he transformed indignation into his new novel, Pussy. Yale Professor Timothy Snyder reads from his 'intervention' On Tyranny, and Stuart Williams and Will Smith speak on the book's schedule-defying publication. We close with Charlotte Knight, Fiona Wilson and Will Rycroft trying to understand the surge of interest in classic fictional dystopias. It's not as bleak as it sounds.

54 min - Scottish Books with Annalena McAfee, Rory Stewart and Denise MinaScottish independence is back in the news at the same time as we're all still struggling to get our heads around what Brexit might look like. With waves of populism and nationalism sweeping across Europe and beyond we speak to three writers with distinct points of view on what Scottishness means to them. We talk about the concept of home with Annalena McAfee, author of Hame; we walk the length of Hadrian's Wall with Rory Stewart, author of The Marches, and discuss the whole notion of borders; and finally we join Denise Mina on a tour of Glasgow's murky past as she tells us more about the real crime behind her latest novel, The Long Drop.

45 min - February Podcast part 2 - Édouard Louis and Ross RaisinWe're back with part two of our February podcast and it's wonderful to have two authors to help us take a fresh look at masculinity and sexuality in two very different ways. Édouard Louis has caused a sensation in France with his autobiographical novel and its depiction of poverty, racism and homophobia. Ross Raisin has chosen the world of football as the setting for his tale of individuality and masculinity. Both authors give us the chance to look at love in a different way before Valentine's Day. Enjoy.

52 min - February Podcast part 1 - James Lasdun and John BurnsideWe were always going to mention love in our February podcast but worry not, there's no pink hearts or teddy bears here - only great books and authors and a look at the more interesting aspects of love. James Lasdun talks about his new novel The Fall Guy, a book set in the Catskills, filled with obsession and unease from the very first page. John Burnside's latest novel, Ashland & Vine is also set in America and here he tells us more about how the absence of history in American life spurred him to tell the story of some of its counter-cultural past - a period of resistance that has striking parallels with the world we live in today. And because we love you we even round things off with a poem from Burnside's new collection, Still Life with Feeding Snake.
