Episode 27: Come With Me Stinky Pig - Old Boys Book Club, Boris Johnson's 72 Virgins

Episode twenty bloody seven. 27. It's here, and it's almost the end. You can feel it can't you, coming down the track like an inevitable freight train of jingoism and frayed narratives. You already know nothing will be concluded, all stones will be left unturned, and it will have all been for nought. But, you remember, this was an exercise of Anthropology! Have we better understood the old boy through this reading? What can we draw down from the musings of their leader? Much, surely?Ponder these questions as we dive into episode 27.--Join the Old Boys Book Club - a weekly reading group led by Jonny Lennard and Andrew Mole, Anthropologists by training, cynics by choice, determined to understand one of modern societies oldest (and most incongruous) tropes - the Old Boy.We have reached peak 'Old Boy' with Johnson, Trump, Farage et al leading the world towards a leather-clad man cave of environmental catastrophe. But what exactly is an Old Boy?In what will almost certainly be called the pinnacle of modern satire, but is as yet unreviewed, Jonny and Andy introduce the world to Old Boy after Old Boy in the best way they know: by decoding the literature they have willingly created.
