Just ahead of our post-election Tale for Our Time - a tale that gets more unnervingly timely with every day - let me put in a word for our complementary entertainment at the other end of the day: the audio version of The Mark Steyn Show, whose latest edition marks the final hours of the Trump Administration. I'm delighted that some folks appreciate both, as a spot of elevenses and an audio Ovaltine at bedtime. Meanwhile, Doug Lauder, a First Month Founding Member of The Mark Steyn Club from South Carolina, is effusive about our new serialization of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four: The total production, written introductions, one man Broadway narration, best of member comments, could be packaged on a memory stick, and sold for $49.95. ...

Obviously foreign countries are the easiest to write about: "Through the haze, I could see camel caravans crossing the Niger river," etc. That's Joseph C. Wilson IV's famous New York Times editorial about whether or not Saddam was trying to acquire uranium from Niger--a bad travelogue that nevertheless catapulted him to the world's longest 15 minutes of fame. But countries that are apparently just like your own are much harder to get into the real rhythm of. On the face of it, Australia is much like Canada: the streets have the same names (Wellington, Grosvenor, and so on), and there's usually a statue of Queen Victoria and/or a bunch of buildings bearing her moniker. Canada and Australia are, as we used to say, the two senior ...

Welcome to our annual Halloween horror story. Before we get to this year's chiller, thank you for all your kind comments, still incoming, about The Prisoner of Windsor, my contemporary inversion of The Prisoner of Zenda. Gary Alexander writes:
Before starting this latest gem, I want to HIGHLY recommend you all do some 'binge listening' to The Prisoner of Windsor if you haven't started it. I listened to two and said 'He can't keep this up,' but he did. This parody of today's insanity is best piled upon your ear and brain in generous multi-chapter portions per day. It FINALLY makes that stupid emoji symbol "Rolling on the Floor Laughing" make some sort of sense.
Kudos to Mark for writing and delivering this modern masterpiece filled with zingers and comic voices a tonic for this time of total insanity in all other media...

Welcome to the final installment of our Steyn Club second-birthday Tale for Our Time - written in 1909 by E M Forster. Thank you so much for all your kind comments about this latest radio serialization. Andrew A from Alberta:
A cautionary tale of the dangers of cyberspace and the Information Age. The Machine serves humanity by facilitating transmission of ideas, but it depends on humans for them. It is humans who create ideas, test them, then discard or improve them based on human-scale judgements informed by feedback from reality. Cut out the human connection to reality, and the closed system runs itself down. This might become my favourite Tale for Our Time yet...
