Cin/Drome 1.8: Dan Brown

Dan Brown takes a mildly pessimistic walk through his movie memories, washed down with a little whiskey, and we talk expressions of existential dread via zombie films, biopics and science fiction.

Along the way we stop to consider the difference between Russian and Western art, realism and idealism, dystopia and satire, and explore the age old Brits versus the Americans debate between refills.

A little more shambling, with a few more giggles, than usual, but quite endearing for it I think.

Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to my podcast site, Veni Vidi Viti: Tales and Talanoa from The Fiji Islands.

Since moving here in 2019 from the UK I have met some fascinating people from an area of the world I previously knew very little about.

I decided to curate this series of talanoa (a Fijian term meaning storytelling, dialogue and forming relationships) as a way for me to learn more about this amazing culture and share with my friends at home and anyone else who might be interested.

As Fiji and the South Pacific enters the geo-political consciousness more and more, I hope these short, informal discussions will provide and introductory understanding of the region and people in the place I now call home.
