THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS

Verfremdungseffekt.

With so many positive messages out there telling us to Never Give Up, it's difficult to not feel inspired to go for our dreams. But is that wise? Is everything pre-ordained? Can we really affect our own success? When should we surrender? Will ponders this while talking about his latest book, the religious leaflets that keep dropping through his letterbox and the awards that Megan Fox has won for being a terrible actress...

A chance to begin again.

Will is tired after staying up to watch the Oscars. But it got him thinking about worth. About the small guys getting noticed and celebrated. About 'little' films and 'little' books and how we will be remembered when we have gone. Is it possible to live until we are 150? Can we be immortalised through our work. And how can we help our kids understand that it's not going to hurt them to read a book, once in a while? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anatomy Colouring Book

Will celebrates the birthdays of Burt Bacharach, Homer Simpson and Dorothy Hodgkin, while examining our growing need for external validation. Add in some Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King and the John Birch Society, and you get the usual mess of topics that eventually come around to the simple fact that what the world needs, now, is love, sweet love.

No static at all.

In part two of this episode, Will delves a little deeper into those buzzwords mentioned in part one. How they are misused. How they are there to help us understand things rather than make them our identity. There's talk of mental health and art and resilience and adapting ourselves to the world. If you find certain subjects triggering, this isn't the podcast for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

No-one doubted that he pulled the trigger.

Will is frustrated by laziness and inaccuracy. This week, he talks about intelligence and context. You can't just jump onto a hashtag or a trend without thinking about it, without looking into what it means and what it stands for. There is always some context. There's a story behind that hashtag. There's a book or a song or a scientific study. What does it mean to be intelligent? And should we all live of grid in a cabin like Ted Kaczynski? Hosted on Acast.

Find what you love and let it kill you.

From watching three films every day to reading two-hundred books a year, to scrambling around in a supermarket bucket for a bunch of dead roses, this week is all about passion. Finding your passion and letting it define you. Spreadsheets and saving stray dogs. Summer holidays and the great English novel. Will, once again talks about everything and nothing. Hosted on Acast.

'This was a big one, huh?'

This time, Will takes a look at assassinations and political correctness. How everyone has a voice but nobody seems to be listening, and nothing we say seems to be right, anyway. Oh, and how Donald Trump has, actually, done something interesting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
