The Book CaseHope Jahren Expands on Mark TwainEvery so often, a new author tackles the work of expanding a classic novel to expand its reach. Even more rarely, they succeed beautifully. This week’s book, Adventures of Mary Jane is just such a rare gem. Mary Jane's author, Hope Jahren, is a scientist (a geochemist, no less) who decided to write the story of Mary Jane, a character that haunted her from the pages of Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn her entire life. It is both a magical adventure story and an authentic and well written coming of age drama. This week’s bookstore is Whe...2024-07-1837 min

It is the story of Malachi Canstant and his intergalactic travels through the Chrono-synclastic Infandibulum! Considered by many to be the greatest writer of the 1950's and 60's, Vonnegut's vision of the future was deeply effected in all his works by the past, both geo-politically and personally. #kurtvonnegut #thesirensoftitan #chronosynclasticinfandibulum #malachiconstant #indianapolis #unk #timetravel #scifi #lewisblack

Yeah-Uh-HuhYUH 53 - Mike Hilbig's first book "Judgement Day and Other White Lies"James Joyce. William Faulkner. William Blake. Kurt Vonnegut... We get pretty high minded this week with our guest, Houston native Mike Hilbig. His first published book is "Judgement Day and Other White Lies", a collection of short stories and creative works that intertwine Greek Tragedy and the sinister subtleties of white privelage in America today. Aaron takes the lead on this one. There are adult themes and a heaping helping to politcal opinion in this one, so be forewarned.

Herwaarns PodcastHerwaarns Podcast 12 – Kan technologie kunst maken?Kunst is volgens de meeste definities iets unieks voor mensen. Het is het maken van iets moois, schokkends of betekenisvols, een expressie van iets van binnen. Het is een middel om te kunnen communiceren met andere mensen, die het kunnen interpreteren, voelen of beoordelen. Kan technologie ooit kunst maken? Moderne technieken zijn in staat om de werkelijkheid vast te leggen zoals mensen dat niet zouden kunnen en kunstmatige intelligentie kan muziek, teksten en beeld creëren.
