This collection features an array of lyrical expressions that reflect the cultural, social, and historical nuances of Tyne-Side, delivered in a style that retains the authenticity of the dialect and the folk tradition.

Spid the Spider Gets Spooked at...

John Eaton

It is Halloween. Spid is reading a book about The Legend of Wookey Hollow. There are lots of spooky goings-on … and the pumpkins are not what they seem …This audiobook features two songs: 'Wookey Whoo!' and 'The Gang'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider.  Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.

Pulp Fiction- The Ultimate...

Film Trivia Metaverse

PULP FICTION
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Pulp Fiction is a 1994 crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, known for its nonlinear storytelling and dark humor. The movie weaves together multiple interconnected stories revolving around Los Angeles criminals. It follows hitmen Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, boxer Butch Coolidge, and gangster Marsellus Wallace, among others, as they navigate a world filled with violence, betrayal, and redemption. The film's sharp dialogue, unconventional structure, and exploration of fate, morality, and human nature set it apart. Blending elements of noir, black comedy, and pop culture references, Pulp Fiction became a landmark in independent cinema.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Jules tells Marcellus to send the "Cavalry" to help him and Vincent when they accidentally shoot Marvin. In "The Hateful Eight," Samuel L. Jackson later portrays a retired cavalry infantryman.”
“In each of the vignettes, an unexpected incident of death forces the characters to seek refuge somewhere and try to fix the situation. For instance, Butch accidentally kills his opponent in the ring and hides at a hotel from Marcellus, while Vincent kills Marvin and he and Jules go to Jimmy's house to resolve the issue. Mia overdoses on heroin, leading Vincent to take her to Lance's house for help.”
"Pulp Fiction" is listed in the Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films on Letterboxd.”

Don’t Call It Hair Metal - Art...

Seana Kelly

A love letter to the hard-rocking, but often snubbed, music of the era of excess: the 1980s
		 
There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock. It was an era where the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom of the great rock ’n’ roll of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s were taken to dizzying heights of neon excess. Attention to songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity (especially in the realm of the electric guitar) were at an all-time high, and radio and MTV were delivering the goods en masse to the corn-fed children of America and beyond.
		 
Time hasn’t always been kind to artists of that gold and platinum era, but Don’t Call It Hair Metal analyzes the sonic evolution, musical diversity, and artistic intention of ’80s commercial hard rock through interviews with members of such hard rock luminaries as Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Poison, Whitesnake, Ratt, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Guns N’ Roses, Dokken, Mr. Big, and others.
