The 6 best books we read in 2019

from Smug Book Club · host C R Booth and R D Jay

Yes, after a long hiatus, the Smug Book Club boys are back! But rather than our normal approach where we review and analyse a book, we're doing something a little different. So, strap yourself in and get ready for a breakdown of our 6 favourite books we read in 2019. That means 3 from Callum, and 3 from Ryan. Because, you know, fairness. So, what are these 6 glorious novels? Well, in no real order (I can't remember what sequence we recorded the episode in, okay?) here they are: 'Lonesome Dove,' by Larry McMurtry 'The Fifth Season,' by N. K. Jemisin 'Station Eleven,' by Emily St. John Mandel 'The Blue Fox,' by Sjón 'Flights,' by Olga Tokarczuk 'The Brief And Frightening Reign Of Phil,' by George Saunders Mmmm, each one of them is a tasty treat you're sure to love devouring. Enjoy the podcast! (Also, massive thanks to Daniel Staley for doing the edit!)

Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit Miscast Entertainment Miscast Entertainment This is Miscast Entertainment, with your hosts, William Davis Moore, Greg, and JJ!
