Tim Rogers

Today we have some fantastic books and even more fantastic guests.

We're going to be joined by Hannah Kent, Madeline Gray, both brilliant novelists, and singer-songwriter, all-around rock star Tim Rogers.

And together they've got some of the absolutely best books that are coming out this week.

And let's kick things off then by talking about one by the Irish writer, Donal Ryan.

This is ABC Radio National's The Bookshelf, on air on ABC Listen or however you get your podcasts.

I'm Cassie McCullough.

With me is Kate Evans, and our guests today, wow, novelist Madeleine Gray, novelist Hannah Kent, and musician Tim Rogers.

Hello.

Think Nick Barker, think Mick Thomas, amongst others.

Tim Rogers.

Tim Rogers, that's the other name I was trying to...

I

think Tex...

You will absolutely get it the first time.

Even if you've watched the Tim Rogers video, you will still get that ending.

Yeah.

Um-

Yeah.

Good game.

Uh, also, I think localized by Tim Rogers.

You can definitely tell.

He looked pretty good.

What was the other thing I was going to say? Oh, our buddy Tim Rogers on Twitter.

When they went to Alex Vessia there, he said he would have gone to Tanner Scott there because it's maybe the highest leverage situation in the game.

It's the top of the sixth inning, very early for Tanner Scott.

And so, yeah, I, I like Alex call.

I just, uh, I, I don't feel like the skillset is super conducive to being a starting outfielder for a world series champion, uh, is I guess what I'm saying.

Hey, our buddy Jason Anitai got tired of Indonesian rupiah, I guess, and he decided to send us 100 Thai baht, which I appreciate.

Thai food is my favorite, so I like Thai money too.

Overlooked album from their catalogue, but the song First Time is an absolute winner.

Spit Polish by Tim Rogers is a great record by him.

Again, quite overlooked these days.

Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males sing the tabloid blues.

Emma Klein's Switzy, as reviewed by Madeline Gray.

And rock and roll legend Tim Rogers is reading Australian writer Max Easton's Now Autonomy.

And we'll also read Kate Donald Ryan's Where Are the Kings?

Well, that is quite a collection of books and I'm really looking forward to them.

be good.

Timmy Rogers, interesting chat when we have him, because he's a mad North man.

Yes.

I'll see if he's happy with how things are going at the street.

Yeah.

Was that because of your involvement with Ellie Mae Barnes and Tim Rogers in the ABC series?

Yeah, that was.

That was us.

That can also help.

Uh, s- one of those that I reach for, I do the s- I do the same thing, uh, on occasion, and one of the ones I reach for is the Action Button Reviews the Final Fantasy VII remake, where it's a three-hour video of Tim Rogers reviewing Final Fantasy VII.

But he has such a very distinct cadence that is both super interesting, like I watched this through, obvious- like, o- on my own, and now it has become a comfort video.

It's very rhythmic.
