When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik.

53:56

In the first part of our live Season One finale, we're joined by our first guest, the wonderful Robert Shearman. In this episode, we're discussing Rob's choice for the Ultimate Horror Anthology, Pig, but Roald Dahl. Enjoy us picking apart why the critics have this story badly wrong, Dahl's legacy and style, and what makes Pig such a genuinely shocking reading experience. In the next episode, the final of Season One, Rob, Jasper and Kit discuss Rob's incredible short story, The Sixteenth Step.

UHA S1 E12: These Beasts 1:47:27

for 17 weeks siden1:47:27

1:47:27

In our final studio recording of the season, Jasper explains to Kit why Tanith Lee's super-efficient dark fantasy story These Beasts absolutely belongs in The Ultimate Horror Anthology. Kit is very much persuaded. Expect discussion of the intersections of 'weird' fantasy and horror, stories written in the spirit of the aural tradition of storytelling, lengthy deconstruction of the elements that go into the perfect twist ending, and much, much more. In our next episode, the first part of our season finale, we'll be sharing a live conversation with Robert Shearman, recorded earlier this year at the Edgelit genre fiction festival in Derby. In the first part, Rob tells us why Roald Dahl's tale Pig belongs in The Ultimate Horror Anthology. If you'd like to read the story ahead of hearing the discussion, you can find it here: UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pig-Roald-Dahl-Short-Story-ebook/dp/B008QXLDTA/ US: https://www.amazon.com/Pig-Roald-Dahl-Short-Story-ebook/dp/B008QXLDTA/…

UHA S1 E11: The Copper Beeches 2:33:35

for 19 weeks siden2:33:35

2:33:35

In this episode, Kit and Jasper make an impassioned case for expanding the definition of the 'horror' label, using Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short story The Adventure Of The Copper Beeches as an object lesson in how horror (in this case, specifically gothic horror) can be found lurking in a piece of classic detective literature. Expect digressions on the nature of The Gothic as a horror trope, the 'Indiana Jones' protagonist effect (and why it's often misunderstood as 'bad' storytelling), Watson's combat medic background, and much more. Enjoy! In the next episode, they'll be discussing Tannith Lee's short story These Beasts. If you want to (re) read it in advance of that episode, it can be found in this anthology (alongside Brian Lumley's The Viaduct, which we discussed back in episode 2): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1510736441 (UK) https://www.amazon.com/Mammoth-Book-Nightmare-Stories-Twisted/dp/1510736441 (US) Enjoying the show?

UHA S1 E10: Catworld 1:50:14

for 20 weeks siden1:50:14

1:50:14

CW: Discussion of child sexual exploitation/abuse. In this episode, Kit and Jasper take on Georgina Bruce's powerful, furious, devastating 2019 story Catworld. We go deep on theme, structure, ambiguity done right - and the brilliance of a story that supports multiple valid readings. We get into some tough territory here, as does the story, so listener discretion is advised. Next week, we'll be covering Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1982 tale The Adventure of the Copper Beeches. No, really. If you want to (re)familiarise yourself with the tale ahead of the show, you can pick up the story here (lots of other buying options available): UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adventures-sherlock-Holmes-Arthur-Conan/dp/B0B14CRCVH/ US: https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-sherlock-Holmes-Arthur-Conan/dp/B0B14CRCVH/…

This week, Jasper revisits a childhood 'classic', R. Chetwynd-Hayes 1976 tale The Humgoo (from the anthology The Monster Club). Learn why this had such a seismic impact on a young Jasper's fragile little mind, and hear Kit gradually being won over from a place of scepticism to one of appreciation. Next week's episode will cover Georgina Bruce's Catworld, from her superbly wrenching 2019 collection This House Of Wounds.

In this week's episode, Jasper rhapsodises about Lisa Tuttle in general, and the story Whie Ladies Grave (from her 2002 collection Ghosts and Other Lovers) in particular. Find out why Jasper thinks this specific, somewhat unremarked Tuttle story is actually a stone classic, and enjoy Kit audibly wrestling with his embarrassment that this is his first encounter with Tuttle's work.

This week, Kit and Jasper enthuse over the tale that closes out Laura Mauro's extraordinary 2019 collection Sing Your Sadness Deep. Expect deep analysis of otherness and othering, magical realism, inventiveness, and some deep explorations into the themes of parental loss and grief. Heavy, but good stuff.

Stephen King makes his first appearance in The Ultimate Horror Anthology, as Cousin Kit makes the case for this novelette from Kings Full Dark, No Stars collection.

1:01:08

In this episode, Cousin Kit explains why Ramsey Campbell's Demons By Daylight in general, and Concussion in particular, is such a seismic publication. Uncle Jasp agrees and brings his own history with the story to the conversation. What does it sound like when two horror fans try and identify what it is about Campbell's writing that makes it so brilliant? It sounds a lot like this. Enjoy. Next week's episode will cover Stephen King's Fair Extension, from his novella collection Full Dark, No Stars.
