------ Episode 377 ------------
Hey, beautiful people!
This podcast episode is a wild ride through the realms of literature, punk, and profound human connections.
We're serving up an intellectual smorgasbord that's gonna tickle your fancy. It's a love letter to literature! John and I share our passion for the written word. It's not all about old books – we're taking you on a whirlwind tour of punk rock history.
We're spilling the beans on the movement's origins, from the fashion rebellion to its transformation into a political powerhouse. And John, he's got stories to tell, rubbing shoulders with legends like Nico and Chet Baker, making the punk scene come to life right before your ears.
We're delving into some profound stuff – atheism, religion, and the complex dance between the two. You'll hear names like Voltaire and Pascal's Wager dropped, and even get a glimpse into our Catholic school escapades. We're introducing you to the greats – Joan Didion, W.B. Yeats, Sartre, Kant, Hemingway, and more.
It's like being in the coolest book club you never knew you wanted to join.
Next Thursday John Cooper Clarke Part 2!
