Bookbabble Episode 35: Deconstructing the Dan Brown Code
Recorded 24 May 2009
Babblers: Bjorn, Gem, Renee, Donny with guest Lone Christensen
Synopsis:
The babblers are once again graced by yet another guest, and this time, Lone Christensen from Copenhagen joins the madness! In this episode, the babblers talk about Dan Brown – if you ever was uncertain where we stood with him, well, let’s just say this episode clears things up. In conjunction with the release of the new Angels & Demons movie, the babblers say why Dan Brown is such a polarizing figure, why he generates so much attention, what he’s good at and what he isn’t. The the books (book?) he used as research, the trial, the works. Also, Bookbabble-approved Dan Brown alternatives. Plus, Irene postulates that with enough alcohol, anyone can get through a bad book, and Lone singles out a couple of people you’d want to pay attention to in the movie.
Show Length: 86:24 mins
Note: The babblers make clear of their love and affection for Mr Brown in language that perhaps younger audiences won’t really appreciate.
