Episode 76; The Grouchy Historian, Review

6/12/2017

The Grouchy Historian: An Old-Time Lefty Defends Our Constitution Against Right-Wing Hypocrites and Nutjobs

I think by now we all the old adage of "History is a story told by the winners". In many ways this is true however as time has gone on society now has more and more references to fall back on meaning if you look hard enough you can find the "Whole" story.

The Grouchy historian is a book which tries to accomplish this by taking a look at the American constitution and unravel the mystique surrounding the document and its creators.

Ed Asner narrates the book as well as co-writing it with Ed Weinberger. His delivery is engaging and funny when it needs to be with a thick slice of sarcasm thrown in to highlight his point of view.

Episode 74; Fever Pitch

6/12/2017

Nick Hornby's classic explores the nature of fandom by looking at his own obsession with "The Arsenal". Part review of almost two decades of sporting obscurity with a pinch of delight at the end mixed with a look into the soul and consciousness of a obsessive.

Although this book focuses on Football and two teams Cambridge United are also in there (Surprisingly) it is an inclusive title for those with a passion that can become all consuming as well as those who are trying to understand this character trait in others.

Unfortuantely the production does have an issue with chapter ordering which takes some of the gloss of this wonderful book.

Episode 73; The Physics of Star Wars: The Science Behind a Galaxy Far, Far Away, Review

1/12/2017

Physics can be a daunting subject, however I have always found a great gateway into a subject into a difficult area is through a medium you enjoy. In The Physics of Star Wars we get a look into the principals of subject as they pertain to the phenomena we find in the Star Wars universe. The fact it's also an audiobook is just the icing on the cake.

Each chapter deals with a specific area such as how are Light-sabres formed and could we make Deathstar? This allows a drop in type of listening especially handy when relistening.
