Abstract Essay in its sixth season, features Sergei Putinski a man who has seen things you would not believe as my guest.

from Abstract Essay

Who Is Sergei?Born beneath the Kremlin and rumoured to be Vladimir Putin’s nephew, Sergei Putinski is a man who has seen things you would not believe — mostly because they happened in 1987 and are no longer relevant.With an unwavering devotion to 80s American sitcoms and a firm conviction that the mobile phone peaked with the brick, Sergei navigates the bewildering modern world from behind the wheel of a beat-up Maserati, barking into a giant white cell phone."What started as a throwaway side character has taken on a life of its own. Kind of wild when the side character is bigger than you."With over 200 million views online, appearances on Your Mom’s House with Tom Segura, and a personal shout-out on Bill Burr’s Instagram, Sergei Putinski has become a global cult favourite — even among people who cannot locate Russia on a map.He is Russia’s only living comedian. Draw your own conclusions.

Genres will range from fiction, drama, and essay to poetry, oratory, and aphorism. Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce Frank Delaney ReJOYCE! To commemorate James Joyce's mighty novel, Ulysses, we're launching a podcast. Every week you'll find a five-minute mini-essay from me designed to take you through the novel that's on every list of the greatest books ever written. And as Ulysses runs to some 375,000 words, and I mean to go through it sentence by sentence if I have to, in order to convey the full brilliance of this novel - and the enjoyment to be had from it - I'll be podcasting for some time to come! It's such an absorbing book, it's got diamond mines of references, it's so compassionate, so tender, so moving, so funny - and most of us never know that, because most of us have long been daunted by it. No need to be afraid any more - that is, if you make a habit of listening to these podcasts.
