Literary Loitering 98 – Badgers Don’t Knit

Archaeon 08/02/2019

Literary Loitering returns for another year of cultural anarchy, and with all the gang present and correct there should be nothing to stop us! Except for technology (apologies for the poor audio quality in parts of this episode). Anyway, the show must go on as they say, and this week […]

Literary Loitering 97 – There’s No Smut Like Sci-Fi Convention Smut

Archaeon 28/12/2018

It’s the most wonderful time of the year which can only mean one thing – the Bad Sex in Fiction Awards! Join Graham, Andrew, Sarah and Rob for this final episode of 2018 which is top-filled with enough filth and innuendo to carry our jolly listeners well into the new […]

Literary Loitering 96 – Franz Kafka, The Fifth Beatle

Archaeon 20/12/2018

The end of the year draws near, and with one episode left before a well deserved break it’s time for those anarchic and rambunctious rapscallions of culture to once again do what they do best, and what better way to kick off the penultimate episode of 2018 than with the […]

Literary Loitering 95 – The House on Harry Hill

Archaeon 29/11/2018

Under normal circumstances (or what passes as normal around here), we’d take our rickety wagon of cultural anarchy and meander along until we found some oddity or weirdness that we could talk about, but at certain points in the time someone else kindly does the job for us. That’s right. […]

Literary Loitering 94 – Tanned Gingers From Outer Space

Archaeon 08/11/2018

Apparently there’s a new way to become a published author – get a job in Trump’s White House and get fired from it. Our resident cultural anarchists return to offer up a heap of interesting tidings from all sorts of places, beginning with Anthony Scaramucci who lasted in his role […]

Literary Loitering 93 – 2 Little 2 Women

Archaeon 14/10/2018

This week Graham and Andrew discover that they may not be the bastions of sanity and elegance that they thought they were as Producer Rob is away, so they now have free reign to take the show in a more studied and genteel direction. Unfortunately their inner cultural anarchists disagreed […]

Literary Loitering 92 – The Lost City of Scotlantis

Archaeon 05/10/2018

The junk wagon of cultural anarchy rolls into town again with Andrew, Graham and Producer Rob riding in the back … hang on … WHO’S DRIVING? And since we’re travelling at the speed of a decrepit milk float, do we really need a driver? Anyway, things have been happening in […]

Literary Loitering 91 – Gerry Anderson’s Space Deliverance

Archaeon 12/09/2018

Has anyone else noticed that stories about the Trump presidency are beginning to sound more like stories from Game of Thrones that didn’t make the cut? Adding to the whirlwinds of controversy surrounding The Don of the U.S. government is Unhinged – a new tell-all book by former Trump aide […]

Literary Loitering 90 – Twaddle, Youth Ninjas!

Archaeon 23/08/2018

There are three Brontë sisters, and since we’re missing a Graham this week we decided to find out which of our three intrepid cultural anarchists (Sarah, Andrew and Producer Rob), could be the reincarnation of which Brontë sister. We find out the truth at the end of the show, we […]

Literary Loitering 89 – All Stork, No Chin

Archaeon 13/08/2018

The calamitous cultural anarchists have wandered haphazardly into town again, and this time they’ve brought a friend on their never-ending quest for snacks and a comfy place to take a nap. Kicking things off this week is our usual Game of Thrones-watch, which this time doesn’t involve Grr Martin but […]
