Episode Notes

WERE BACK, BABY! Did you miss us? We’re celebrating our emergence from hot burn-out summer by speaking with Dr Arin Keeble about the literature of Terror and collective trauma. Arin is Lecturer in Contemporary Literature and Culture at Edinburgh Napier University, he has written on everything from hurricanes and punk rock to Stranger Things and contemporary literary TV studies. In this episode we talk about counternarratives to the War on Terror, what objects we would throw at War Criminal George W. Bush Jr., and conditions of radicalisation in relation to White Nationalism. We ask whether or not jet fuel can melt steel beams, if a Hurricane can be a terrorist, and whether or not narratives of Terror can, or should, be funny?
