Episode 6 - Slaughterhouse-Five
Listen now
Description
The podcast shenanigans for episode six see the team return to Dresden at the height of the Second World War, then back to the present, then back to the war, and finally to the fourth dimensional planet of Tralfamador. Confused? You ought to be. This episode explores Kurt Vonnegut’s highly significant and epic anti-war novel Slaughterhouse Five, along with its subsequent 1972 film adaptation. So it goes. Paul tests Iain and Dee’s literary knowledge with a quiz on famous cinematic adaptations of the written word, and there’s plenty of war-related booze to be had courtesy of Asahi, Spitfire, Erdinger, Staropramen, Blue Moon and Weihenstephaner. Which is kind of grim when you think about it. Holocaust aside, click on the podcast for a rip-roaring time and witness some hefty war crimes in action. You know who didn’t like podcasts? Hitler. Food for thought. So it goes.
