Author, educator, podcaster and all-round great guy Tony Farina returns to your feed for part 2 of a special 2 hour long conversation spanning all sorts of topics!
This week is part 2 and Mike & Tony discuss close political voting and political apathy, the importance of language & compassion and then delve back into religion from a moral perspective. They then talk about the journey Tony has been on since his first book; Welcome To Mansfield’s release, the upcoming audiobook, how music had an impact on his writing of the Austen Chronicles and it’s importance to the characters within the novels. Their conversation concludes with what 2024 holds for Tony in the book & podcasting world!
If you missed last week’s release (part 1) the duo began by discussing the idea of recording every waking moment and mobile/cell phone access, before the monarchy comes up including Elizabeth I, II and Mary Queen Of Scots which flows into England’s impact on world religion, the whole bizarre concept of having a Royal Family and the part ends with a “what-if” scenario!
Tony mentioned many things in this conversation including;
The library website https://search.worldcat.org, the TV series Victoria, the podcasts Cover To Cover by Chris Franjola and Mandatory Music & CD by Max Byrne on Comics In Motion, plus the musical artists Eric Hutchinson and Matt Nathanson.
Also the books; The Circle by Dave Eggers, Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, Lamb by Christopher Moore and The Future Of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler. The article I Don’t Want To Be Right by Maria Konnikova: https://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/i-dont-want-to-be-right
