About this episode

The episode discusses Liam Blackford's unpublished manuscript 'The Stud', exploring its themes and social commentary.

The Stud is an unpublished manuscript by Perth-dwelling life form Liam Blackford. It is set in a near-future, hypernatal Western Australia, and follows the lives of four stylish, elite women and one man in a 'stud house'. That is to say, the man, Luke, is employed by the four women to get them all pregnant as frequently as he can, as well as treating each of them as his queen. A very funny social satire of surprising emotional complexity, I really enjoyed The Stud and look forward to its future publication; publishers, you might want to get in contact with Liam and ask for a copy of this manuscript. Fear not. While Liam insists repeatedly that this book is irredeemably misogynistic, I'm not so sure.
