1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 The Cat gets titular in the first episode of a brand new season, with special guest Jason Nahrung, Australia's number one vampire and author of Blood and Dust and The Big Smoke. While Kaaron takes a creepy clown as her plus one and Aaron gets unwholesomely into napkins, Joseph gets a lift with a stranger to knifey-town. Jason shares his abiding love of New Orleans, and everybody learns about the life of pirate Jean Lafitte. Titles are discussed: titles from nowhere; titles by consortium; titles as a story's guiding light. The comfort of titles on a bookshelf. The dangers of writing as a tourist. Everyone agrees you shouldn't be a wanker. Kaaron and Aaron fall out over Love Story. Jason wonders where you got dem shoes. Joseph gets into jazz—wankily. Everyone agrees on the Bloody Mary. Po-boys and beignets from this episode include: Harlan Ellison's I have no mouth and I must scream Yukio Mishima's The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs Spoon's Lafitte Don't Fail Me Now and The Agony of Lafitte Check out the episode page for more pics and bits.
