Book(ish) with George Dimarelos - Zorba the Greek: passion, art and being Greek with Alexei Toliopoulos
play

05/12/20 • 71 min

A delightful episode of Book(ish) where I sit down with Alexei Toliopoulos to discuss one of his favourite books - which also happen to be a personal favourite - Zorba the Greek. We talk about living a life without doubt, our own heritage, some different views of masculinity and art in the time of corona. Enjoy!


Technical note - Due to recording over Zoom there is a small echo in a few parts of the recording, tried to remove it as much as possible but couldn't get all of it.


Books mentioned:

Zorba the Greek, Nikos Kazantzakis

Book(ish) with George Dimarelos - Atomised: authorial intent, sex and incels with Angus Gordon
play

07/28/20 • 67 min

This weeks Book(ish) I sit down with Raw Comedy and Melbourne International Comedy Best Newcomer winner Angus Gordon to discuss Atomised by Michel Houellebec. Our conversation ranges from being honest with who you are, the joy of a good comedic riff and the meaninglessness of existence in a physical form doomed to both decay and death. Enjoy!

On a side note: there are multiple moments during this interview I would nod in agreement with obscure philosophical references I didn't really get for the sake of keeping the conversation moving, see if you can tell when that is!

This week on Book(ish) I sit down with ex-radio personality and current marriage celebrant Josh Withers to discuss Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell. Our conversation ranges over not wanting to be just a nerd, the lie that is the desire for a “non-traditional” wedding and trying to communicate with others. Enjoy!


Content warning: this book discusses sexual assault and pedophilia so our conversation does briefly touch upon these topics.

Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

If you have any thoughts on it please let me know and either way, we will be back to regular programming next week. Thanks!
