Jul 13: Confab #57
We've wanted to try another book club show for quite some time. The problem is that we chose a book which contains cannibalism, hopelessness, and little -- if any -- moral redemption. Cormac McCarthy's, The Road, isn't your standard dystopian tale. It isn't intended to serve as a beacon for a civilization whose extrapolated path leads to ruin. No. Instead, it drags you into an alley, beats and rapes you (mentally), and leaves you for dead. Is there anything good that can be said about the trials a father and son face in McCarthy's yarn? You'll have to listen to the show.
This show was recorded during the July 10, 2008 Confab.
Our guests:
- Heidi Anderson
- Rachele Cawaring
- Richard Huff
- Schelley Olhava
- Kevin Wagner
- Leslie Wagner
You can listen to the show here. (26.6 MB MP3, 41:13 minutes)
Jun 30: Confab #56
Summer is upon us. It was another smallish group of the Confab contingent that spent their evening chatting about a wild array of topics. Leslie and Kevin are expecting in late August/early September, so some of the topics (e.g., names and private school vs. public school) are specific to their life situation. Congratulations are in order, although I've already ordered them both a six month supply of the strongest coffee legally available in Seattle.
