Episode 1: Project Hail Mary

from Jack & George Do Horror

There's a man alone in space. No memory. No plan. Just a problem that might end everything. So naturally… we talk about it. In our first episode, Jack and George dive into Project Hail Mary and what makes a story like this actually work. Is it the science? The stakes? Or just the fact that watching one guy try not to completely screw everything up feels… a little too relatable? We get into: why space stories hit differently what makes a character worth rooting for and whether either of us would last more than 10 minutes in this situation (Spoiler: we would not.) This is the start of something. We're figuring it out as we go. But that's kind of the point.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
