  • Episode 42 – Grail
    2024/11/30

    The Cat gets spoilerific in search of all things Arthurian with special guest, legendary New York Times bestselling author and award-winning comic book writer, Dan Abnett. While Aaron shepherds a coming out and Kaaron is betrayed by a cheap trick, Joseph ruins Lunar Park for everybody. Dan goes to Glastonbury on a quest for the holy grail. Fictional truths are discussed, as is reality as a device, the great conceit of modern literary fiction, and the amazing lie that everything is true (but is it permitted?). Also, autobiographical truths buried in fictions, the fictionalising of reality to make it readable, and the different ways we read stories knowing they’re fiction versus assuming they are, in fact, true. The value of a sense of quest. The extraordinary adventure of observing the everyday. Dan chooses wisely.

    Librettos and Fisher Kings conceptualised in this episode include:

    • Brett Easton Ellis’s Lunar Park and The Shards
    • The Coen Brothers’ Fargo
    • Daniel Petrie’s Sybil
    • M John Harrison’s The Sunken Lands Begin To Rise Again and his 'anti-memoir’ Wish I Was Here
    • Jorge Luis Borges’s The Aleph
    • Michael Haneke’s Funny Games

  • Episode 41 – Slip
    2024/10/26

    The Cat gets permissive in this latest episode with special guest, author and artist Nik Vincent-Abnett. While Joseph has an on-air fashion meltdown and Aaron DIYs his bootcuts into flares, Kaaron forgets her own name. Clothing is discussed, as an expression of character, as shorthand for a time, as a face to show the world, as skin. The cyclic nature of fashion. Each generation’s possessiveness over the style of their time. Also Hussars, apportation, and the many people who died in Nik’s house. Ghosts as camera obscura. Ugg boots as the great leveller. Selling books with boobies. Aaron wants to be buried in a clown jacket. Nik takes a terminal photograph.

    Buttons and bow-ties in this episode include:

    • Schitt’s Creek
    • Kaaron’s The Underhistory
    • Nik’s The Wipe and Savant

  • Episode 40 – Chorus
    2024/09/22

    The Cat goes positively bonkers over an audience with the best-dressed man in speculative fiction, game designer, teacher and writer, the incontrovertible Rik Lagarto. While Joseph gets all the ups and Aaron clobbers a Hobbit, Kaaron is haunted by a butterfly cake. The ghosts at Bethnal Green are discussed, as is ham (again), Nazis (fuck ‘em), and Russell Crowe’s piss. Also scar trees, scars in time, and the awareness of historical time as a new angle from which to perceive or experience the present. The importance of The Ugly Duckling. David Hasselhoff’s frozen poo. Aaron gives Rik some sensible advice.

    Scats and scent trails sniffed over in this episode include:

    • Joseph’s collection The Measure of Sorrow
    • Michael McDowell’s Blackwater
    • Iain Banks’ The Crow Road
    • John Waters’ A Dirty Shame
    • Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year Of Rest And Relaxation
