A Novel Podcast Russell Young

I realize that it's been over a year since we published an episode. I won't go into the whole story about why, but suffice to say I'm really sorry. We'd like to produce more episodes, but at this time it won't be happening. Thanks for listening, and please reach out!

In today's episode, we explore the stigma of self help, and the difference between self help and personal development. We tackle this subject by reading The Myth of Multitasking, by Dave Crenshaw, and consider what it means to be multi-tasking, and whether it is a positive thing or not.

In this episode we're discussing two non fiction books in the astrophysics genre, Fabric of the Cosmos, by Brian Green, and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Written in 2004 and 2017 respectively, these popular science books showcase the work that has been done in the field of physics over the last 2,000 years, and are a great way to get up to speed with the science in general.

Today we’re discussing Dracula, an 1897 Gothic horror novel was the work that introduced the world to the infamous Count Dracula. Written by Irish author Bram Stoker, it tells the story of the nefarious vampire count from Transylvania as he attempts to migrate from his remote home in the Carpathian Mountains, to a more populous City of London.

Today we regret to inform you that we won't have an episode in June, however, we'll quickly discuss our summer plans, and list out a few of our upcoming episodes. Let's Go Caps!
