Reading Old Books

I studion sitter Martin, Ludvig och Emil Erlandsson.
Medis Radios stora video där vi rankar hela the Marvel Cinematic Universe är ute, och det är såklart någonting vi måste prata om i veckans avsnitt. Har ni ännu inte sett den så gå in på vår YouTube-kanal och kolla in den. Veckans avsnitt är också fullt av tillbakablickar till förr i världen, och Martin står för historielektionen. Han fortsätter följetongen från förra veckan och pratar vidare om olika speladaptioner av Harry Potter-franchisen, denna gång med fokus på de mer udda spelen i serien. Dessutom har han ramlat ner i kaninhålet som kallas LILLA Melodifestivalen, och han redogör för tävlingens historia och kopplingarna till andra tävlingar. Emil Erlandsson har äntligen blivit klar med TV-serierna Stargate SG1 och Stargate Atlantis och recenserar hela sin upplevelse och Ludvig har kollat på den något juliga Dreamworks-filmen Rise of the Guardians. Skön stämning, väl värt att lyssna på.

13:20 - Intro
20:06 - Harry Potter-spel
38:33 - Stargate SG1 & Stargate Atlantis
1:04:57 - Lilla Melodifestivalen-retrospective

So it turns out, we missed talking to each other about books, and we missed you! And thanks to some vital sponsorship from our friends at Faber Books, we are BACK, baby, for this extra long one-off Year in Review episode.


This show is full of recommendations from the last year (or two), as well as a bit of a catch up. Since we last appeared in your feeds, we've both had babies, Carrie moved to New York, Octavia moved south of the river... 


And so we bring you this extended episode full of our usual reading recommendations and resolutions, news of some exciting debut fiction coming from Faber Books next year, plus an extra segment where we catch up on our experiences of becoming new parents, and the books that have helped us and kept us company through the wild last couple of years. We hope you enjoy listening!
