Recorded 21 June  2010
Babblers: Marcel, Bjorn, Donny

Synopsis:

Spain-2010-World-Cup-Champions

This is one of the strangest, most languid chit-chat in Bookbabble’s short history.  This episode drops you right in the middle of a football match watched by the boys in three different countries – simultaneously.  And still somehow manage to talk about horror movies, private parts and racism.  Oh, and football related books and movies too.  (Yeah, it would have been better if this episode came out, oh, about 2 months sooner, but hey, at least you get to see how well we did our predictions).

Be warned, this is a rambling, totally unedited show.

    Recorded 6 June  2010
    Babblers: Lone, Marcel, Renee, Donny

    Synopsis:

    450book13moore

    What are the books that make the babblers break into a smile?  Perhaps even outright laughter?(Although it must be said that would look weird.  Good for clearing a space for you in public transports, though).  Anyway, babblers list out some interesting picks here, and in true Bookbabble style, a most varied and eclectic mix indeed.  Not just funny books, mind you, but satirical and cynical yet darkly humorous works are also covered.  Plus, critically-acclaimed poet who’s actually crap, and Marcel goes postal.  “Some people shouldn’t be allowed to write!”, he wails.

Paul Auster smackdown!

    During this time you will see the numbers for the BB episodes jump up and down more often than a toad in a dumpster.  Worry not.  The trusty Episode List shall be your guide, and you’ll know you’re not losing your marbles when episode 67 comes after 73.

    Hang in there!
