Bookbabble (Retro) Episode 77: The Futility of Nobel Speculations
Recorded 3 Oct 2010
Babblers: Bjorn, Lone, Marcel, Donny
Synopsis:
This episode was very long in production. The subject matter required many years of marinating, for the ideas to germinate, etc, etc. The crew discusses the Nobel Prize for Literature… for 2010. 🙂
p.s None of us were even close. Mario Vargas Llosa was the winner. Hey, it hardly counts as a spoiler when it’s almost 4 years ago.

Ah how great, the Nobel speculation stuff, reminds me of the fun discussions on fw or with those mentally disturbed on wlf. Björn is very funny. Gimme more! 🙂
Hey there Birne! Thanks for the feedback! More episodes are coming, but they’ll be further and further back the timeline, until we get a chance to record new material. I won’t promise when though, since I’m such timely person and will always release podcasts on time. 🙂
