Things I've been listening to lately:

[conuly]

1. Falling Star Radio - weirdly cheerful dystopia. Talking lemons. Maybe aliens, I don't even know.

2. All the Wrong Magic - not so cheerful! Enjoying it, but had to take a break for a new genre for a while.

3. Electromancy - magic boarding school, child soldiers.

4. Sidequesting - it is amazing how much story you can spin out of avoiding the main plot!

5. City of Ghosts - people will never stop complaining about Robert Moses. That's now what this one is about, but it's in there.

6. Mockery Manor - in between wondering whether or not they'll reach the present day, I also wonder if they realize that "that's you all caught up" is not a typical Americanism or if I'm the one missing the joke here. The moral of this last season is that Brits probably shouldn't do American-themed theme parks.

7. Oblivity - another weirdly cheerful dystopia, this time IN SPAAAAAAACE. Less chance of aliens, more chance of space.

8. Fawx and Stallion - if you're going to do an LGBT Holmes parody, may as well lean into it. Sherlock lives down the block.

9. Murder in HR - the title is apt.

10. Nightingale - pediatric cancer hospital, portal fantasy. If this were a book I'd say it's a well-written middle grade book, so let's go with that. Well written middle grade audiodrama.

We are watching a documentary from last year called Turn Every Page, about the longstanding author-editor team of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb. Caro's first Pulitzer came for his 70s book about Moses called The Power Broker, which I tried to read back in the day and am about to order from Beans & Noodles to try again. They then turned to his three-volume analysis of LBJ, which wound up being four volumes with a fifth maybe still to arrive someday.
