Culture Club podcast: Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote | No, you haven’t accidentally stumbled into the eighties: the Kill Your Darlings Culture Club podcast is where we get together with some of our favourite people to discuss cultural items, be they books, plays or films. This time around, we are attacking Miguel de Cervantes’ masterwork Don Quixote – that behemoth of literature, often called the greatest of all novels. It’s the work we can thank for giving us the word ‘quixotic’, and which features one of literature’s greatest characters of all time: Don Quixote himself, a man both wise and mad. Tilting at windmills with me are two very special guests: Caro Cooper, editor at Text Publishing, and Ronnie Scott, editor of The Lifted Brow. Sit down with a glass of red or a cup of tea and join us in our discussion. We recommend having read Don Quixote before listening to the podcast – but don’t worry, we don’t spoil the dénouement, so you can also listen along if you haven’t read the book. Thanks to our friends at Vintage for copies of Don Quixote. Produced by Sam Szoke-Burke. Kill Your Darlings podcasts appear monthly. Music is Pompey and Sam Szoke-Burke.

‘Uncomfortable places’: Michelle Aung Thin’s The Monsoon Bride | It’s 1930. Winsome McLintock is a convent girl about to marry a man she barely knows, and she will follow him to Rangoon, the then capital of Burma. Rangoon is a rich and exciting city, but it’s also full of tension – the wealthy British residents live luxurious colonial lifestyles while riots break out on the streets. It’s amongst all this that Winsome is discovering the nature of desire and the complexity of identity. For this Kill Your Darlings podcast, we speak to Michelle Aung Thin about her debut novel, The Monsoon Bride. Produced by Sam Szoke-Burke. Kill Your Darlings podcasts appear monthly.

Podcast: Alex Menglet, Bell Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar | Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar has its share of memorable lines – to this day we beware the Ides of March or beseech our friends, Romans and countrymen to hear us. But though it’s sometimes thought of as the Shakespeare’s boring toga story, its absorbing tale of power, friendship and betrayal resurfaces again and again. The politically motivated murder of Caesar has resonated with audiences throughout history, and for Australians the Labor party leadership spill has provided a potent backdrop for the Bell Shakespeare production of Julius Caesar. For our September podcast, we speak to actor Alex Menglet, who plays Caesar in the Bell Shakespeare production. Julius Caesar is playing in theatres nationally until November 26.

Podcast: Melanie Joosten’s Berlin Syndrome | Picture this: a young Australian woman is waiting at the traffic lights in East Berlin when a tall man with curly hair asks her if she likes strawberries. She says yes, a seemingly small decision that leads to bigger ones, decisions so big that her life changes forever. This is how Melbourne writer Melanie Joosten’s debut novel Berlin Syndrome begins, and we’re delighted to present our interview with Joosten in our August podcast. About 17 minutes. Produced by Sam Szoke-Burke. Kill Your Darlings podcasts appear monthly. Music is Pompey and Sam Szoke-Burke. Download the podcast here.

Christopher Currie’s The Ottoman Motel | Simon and his parents are on a family holiday and land in a small town called Reception. The town both lives up to its name and makes a mockery of it; the young boy finds new friends, but his parents go missing. The smaller a town, the more you have to bury your secrets – but not your stories. Christopher Currie is one of those people you get the sense has always had stories to tell. His novella Dearly Departed was published in 2007, and in March 2008 he started a blog called Furious Horses, where he posted a new short story every day. We spoke with Currie about his debut novel The Ottoman Motel, small towns, what part emotion plays in writing, and balancing poetry and story. About 20 minutes. Produced by Sam Szoke-Burke.
