episode J.M. Coetzee artwork

J.M. Coetzee

From the stark moral landscapes of Disgrace to the haunting allegories of Waiting for the Barbarians, Coetzee has earned a reputation as South Africa’s most enigmatic and decorated novelist. In this episode, we sit down with retired lecturer John Stotesbury to explore the man behind the Nobel Prize. We trace his journeys around the globe, unpack the craft behind his famously austere prose, and learn how his work has evolved over time. We will also learn something about John and his fascinating life. Whether you're a longtime admirer or just curious where to begin, this conversation will open your eyes to an author much admired, and why he is worth delving into. It's a long episode, but we promise it's well worth it.

episode Bea Uusma artwork

Bea Uusma

This sort of episode is why we started this podcast. When we approached our well-read guest about what author they would like to do, we didn’t expect this. A Swedish doctor that has only written one book, a true story about a failed attempt to reach the North Pole by hot air balloon. In this episode, we talk with a literary blogger, bulbasaur fan and intersectional feminist Tiina, about Bea Uusma and her attempts to solve a century old mystery using modern techniques. Some of it is sombre, as we learn about the love story left behind. Some of it is farcical, as we wonder why someone would bring a set of encyclopedias on a hot air balloon. All of it is fascinating.

episode Agatha Christie artwork

Agatha Christie

The undisputed queen of crime. The most popular fiction author of all time. The world record for the longest running stage play. The first woman to surf standing up. Agatha Christie is all these and more.  In this episode, we talk with author, quizmaster, and Christie superfan Michael to understand more about her writing, the adaptations, and also her unbelievable life story. It could be a novel in itself! Whether you’re a dedicated fan with a bookshelf of Miss Marple, or only know the TV adaptations of Poirot, you’ll surely learn something in this episode.

episode James Joyce artwork

James Joyce

Is James Joyce really that difficult? From the legendarily labyrinthine sentences of Ulysses to the grounded reality of Dubliners, Joyce has carved out a niche as Ireland's greatest, most famous, but least-read, author. In this episode, we sit down with Joyce scholar Sari to understand more about Joyce's life story, and how he left Dublin, but always had his heart there. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or wondering where to begin, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and maybe even inspire you to crack open Ulysses.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
