1984 - George Orwell - Episode 140

The Buddies read the not-so-fiction feeling dystopian classic "1984" by George Orwell this week. The Buddies chat about the good life of being a Prole (drunk, happy, and blissfully ignorant), every day double-think, and how Gen Alpha speak and Newspeak are the same. So grab your victory gin, practice your doublethink, and join us for a pod that asks: would you rather be tortured with rats or buried alive with snakes?Intro (0:00-1:36)Stock Up/Down (1:37-32:16)Favorite Scene/Character (32:17-34:15)Love/Hate (34:16-44:27)Listener Mail/Lingering Questions (44:28-49:43)Conclusion (49:44-53:59) NEXT BOOK: Before They Are Hanged  by Joe Abercrombie
