Dissecting Worlds Series 5 Episode 4: Aslan and other Gods
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 45 minutes and 53 secondsThis month we wander through the Wardrobe of Geek Analysis to the magical land of Narnia. Joined by Timothy Swann of the Psycomedia (and others!) podcast, we plunge into the frozen wastes of fantasy godhood in the shape of everyone’s favourite Divine Lion.
Subjects Covered:
- Lewis vs Tolkien, the Inklings, and parallel development
- His Dark Materials, Phillip Pullman and unintended messages
- Creation and Management of your own universe
- The Merits of Biting your enemy on the face over turning the cheek
- Leaders as Servants
- The Space Trilogy and Middle Earth Time Travel!
- And Much More!
Arthur C Clarke was of course a member of the British Interplanetary Society, a group of writers and engineers who were closely involved in the early British Space Program and Blue Streak Program in the 1950s/1960s. He never helped out the Doctor or battled alien ghosts at Hobb's end.(To our knowledge...)
The Charity EP Tim mentions is here: http://www.musicglue.net/purereasonrevolution/ and he has been kind enough to post his intimidating 13 pages of notes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UrXvqMlrIA_N6fUy- BwlM_lUpNeuHUo99tDP-qyXNPw/ edit
He is also on twitter @tetrachangel and Psycomedia is a quick google away.

Scrolls Book Group: A Song Of Ice And Fire
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 43 minutes and 16 secondsScrolls Book Group: A Song Of Ice And Fire
In which we try to harness George RR Martin's vast, fiery beast as it spawls triumphantly across the gems of modern Fantasy. From the very first book, A Game Of Thrones, this series has proven to be one of those compulsive reads that ignite the passions of a whole generation of readers, reaching far beyond the traditional boundaries of genre preference.
Joining us for the podcast are returning special guests Matt - The Grampus from Dissecting Worlds, and Carey - she of the Two-Monkeys from Geektress.
We tackle the books one by one and focus on a particular theme for each. There are Major plot spoilers throughout and we do skip back and forth between books on occasion, so we strongly recommend that you only listen to this episode once you have finished reading Book 5: A Dance With Dragons.
Warning: contains gratuitous boobies.
[more....]
Amongst the many items up for discussion are: Whose fault is it anyway, Why should you never bring your mum to work, Feuds and the Feudal system, Alternative weapons of war, Cers Ei Coyote, What's eating Red R'hllor, and The ignominous fate of bastards.
In order to do the series justice we've recorded a far longer episode than usual - but never fear! For those of you who prefer your podcasts in bite-sized chunks we have divided the episode up into approximately half-hour segments with a musical cue from the stunning HBO television series to seperate them.
The start times and themes for each section are as follows:-
2m 41s - A Game Of Thrones: Secrets
32m 57s - A Clash Of Kings: War
59m 14s - A Storm Of Swords: Betrayal
1h 28m 30s - A Feast For Crows: Religion and Magic
1h 53m 10s - A Dance With Dragons: Use of Power
If you feel inspired to carry on the conversation, come and join in on the Geek Syndicate Discussion Boards on Facebook.
Other ways you can interact with us include e-mail: scrolls@hotmail.co.uk and twitter: @scrollscast or the comments section below.
Links mentioned in the show include the foody site for Westerosi dishes, innatthecrossroads.com and the article from Tiger Beatdown about how creepy George RR Martin is.

Scrolls Chapter 16: LOVE, Love, love
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 41 minutes and 31 secondsIn which our star crossed crew set sail to explore the mmm-agical... mmm-ysterious... and mmm-agnificent [Barry White - Hit It!] 'world of LO-o-O-O-o-O-o-O-O-o-O-O-o-
OVE.'
[Oh, yeah - now put it in the background... just like that, baby... OOH!... Yeah...]
This episode we talk a bit about torrid and horrid teen fiction, from Twilight to - well, we don't get much further on that part to be honest. Mattie is obsessed.
Stepping away from the soppy stuff we touch on themes of profound friendship, burning passion and doomed love before finally getting down and dirty (and giggling a lot) with a big talk about sex. [Oh yeah, baby]
Along the way we also find ourselves discussing inter-genre snobbery, unusual sexual positions, beetle licking and cinema snack-food.
Near the start we mention a new podcast called Filmsploitation, run by a good friend of ours, Mr Phil Hobden. I heartily recommend you check them out.
Beware: Contains euphamisms and really scary mental images. This podcast could scar you. For life.

Scrolls Middle Earth Special Pt 3: Adaptations and The Tolkien Professor
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes and 6 secondsCaught up in an orcstasy of hobbit-love, the Scrolls team talked so long into the night that an entire section of Chapter 8 had to be cut for fear of Melting Your Brains. Well... it's too late now, obviously, so as Scrolls is taking a short break this month we thought we would share the last of our late night ramblings with you.
This then, is the Previously Unreleased third part of our Middle Earth Special in which we talk Adaptations - games, plays, movies, music and models.
Not only that, ladies and gentlemen but we have Additional Bonus Content excavated for you from the dusty archives of Nargothrond. Shortly after the inaugural Festival-In-The-Shire event last year Clover nabbed a skype chat with one of the guests, Professor Corey Olsen. Wary of overburdening you with Tolkienalia at the time, it was eventually decided to shelve this interview - but now you can hear it in its entirety. Tune in and let the Tolkien Professor fix your melted brains.
If you like what you hear you can download his podcasts free of charge here.
Intro/Outro music is, as ever provided by Steadman. I have also used a snippet from Howard Shore's wonderful soundtrack to The Return Of The King in order to seperate the two sections of the podcast

Dissecting Worlds: Series 5-1 King Arthur and Leadership
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 37 minutes and 4 secondsThis month the DW duo of Kehaar and Matt try to get to grips with leadership in the slippery form of King Arthur. In a wide ranging discussion they look at such versions of Arthur as:
TV's Merlin (BBC series) and Camelot (Starz series.)
Film's Excalibur and First Knight
The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth
Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon
TH White's entire Once and Future King series
Bernard Cornwell's Warlord series
Lord Alfred Tennyson's poetry
D'Morte D'Arthur by Sir Thomas Mallory
& in the process they invoke:
SunTsu's The Art of War
John Adair's Action Centred Leadership model
Former English Cricket Captain & Psychoanalyst Mike Brearley's 'The Art of Captaincy.'
And fall out over Vikings !

Film’s Excalibur and First Knight
The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth
Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Mists of Avalon
TH White’s entire Once and Future King series
Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord series
Lord Alfred Tennyson’s poetry
D’Morte D’Arthur by Sir Thomas Mallory
& in the process they invoke:
SunTsu’s The Art of War
John Adair’s Action Centred Leadership model
Former English Cricket Captain & Psychoanalyst Mike Brearley’s ‘The Art of Captaincy.’
And fall out over Vikings !

Scrolls Chapter 15: Gods 'n' Sods
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 46 minutes and 51 secondsIn which we step tentatively into the ethereal realm to mull over the function of religion in fictional worlds and how it can mirror our own. Along the way we poke a few holes in the fabric of reality, prod a few demons and deities with sticks to see what thet're made of, make wild and ill-conceived generalisations about how religions begin and, well, generally invite the wrath of the most powerful beings in the universe.
Actually, thinking about it we've already had their wrath reteroactively. Clover is missing for the first bit due to unholy technical difficulties, but there's plenty of waffle(s) to go around. Join us as we hit upon Holy social networking, the most popular reason for time-travel, artistic baby recycling, the function of flab in prehistoric man, alternative uses for disabled toilets and Much, Much more...
(No Gods were harmed in the making of this podcast.)
