LITOPIA AFTER DARK is the net's original podcast for writers. Hosted by Peter Cox, every show coruscates with effulgent cleverness (ah, if only...) and aims to both entertain and inform, too. Recorded every Friday in front of a live audience on UStream (you'll find the show here: www.ustream.tv/channel/litopia-after-dark) it features the latest news from the worlds of writing, publishing, new media and culture. We draw our guests very widely: from titans of the publishing business to neophyte novelists - everyone gets a crack if they have something significant to say and a witty way of saying it. We look forward to your company!

The Hero's Journey In Wet Socks Updated: 2010-04-10 10:23:18 Description: In an era when everyone is talking about “the death of the humanities,", cognitive approaches to literature just may be the Next Big Thing that rescues college literature departments from the institutional death of a thousand cuts. What does this mean? Well, sticking readers into an MRI machine and observing how their brain changes in response to the passages they're reading... that's one example of a cognitive psychologist's approach to demystifying the writing process. Getting to the root of people’s fascination with fiction and fantasy is like “mapping wonderland” one researcher believes. So - great idea? Or Orwellian nightmare? Listen to the show and decide for yourself. Litopia's man with the golden Tweet is our special guest tonight - Jamie Mollart - and together with regulars Eve Harvey, Donna Ballman and Dave Bartram - and David Bridger reporting from an superheated chat room - it's an incendiary show!
