Litopia After Dark this week has a new format. Buoyed up by the roaring success of our Summer Specials (thank you all for your wonderful feedback) we've incorporated a few of your favourite segments into the regular show. This week not only do we discuss why there are so few males in the Publishing business, we also play Pitch The Nasty Agent. Amazon gobbles up yet another massive internet company - Shelfari, a social networking startup for book lovers - and we chat about our experience of internet bookshelves before tackling Litopia's Cry For Help - solving a problem sent in by one of our listeners. Also a new book by Sarah Lyall called A Field Guide to the British, the the writing week in 60 seconds and the most fun you can have on a Podcast... Toad Suck, Arkansas, Reverse Shuffle Six Card Strip Pokerette (aren't you even slightly intrigued...?)
On the panel this week are Dave Bartram, Donna Ballman, Eve Harvey and our very special guest, polymath Brian Clegg author of The Global Warming Survival Guide and Upgrade Me.
