Outside Korean Barbecue Restaurant, New Bridge Rd, Singapore, Sept 2014

Favourite Podcasts & New Bridge Road

September 18, 2014 in Singapore, Writing

The simple pleasures are always the best. Especially if they are free too. For example, when I am travelling, jogging or walking home, I listen to the following:

  • New Yorker Fiction

In the most recent podcast, Nathan Englander reads John Cheever's "The Enormous Radio" first published in 1947 but still wonderful after all these years

  • Read Me Something You Love

Like an honest conversation between friends. People read out poems, stories or essays that they love and explain why. Emily Dickinson is discussed in the most recent podcast.

  • BBC World Service Book Club

Maya Angelou is featured in an interview from Autumn 2005.

  • Slate's Audio Book Club

Very American, brash and . Roxanne Gay's Bad Feminist is feature in a recent podcast. 

  • Desert Island Discs

There is something so English about DID. I can remember listening to this show when I grew up in England in the 70s. Music makes people open up and present a different aspect to the world. Recently from the archive I listened to Philip Larkin taking the complete plays of GBS to the desert island where he wished spend his time trying to write a novel.

  • Nikesh Shukla

This guy is cool and a wonderful writer.

  • New Books In East Asian Studies

About to listen to 'White Lotus rebels & South China Pirates'. Hmm … exoticization, anyone? More thoughts soon.
