What do a reanimated corpse, a European nobleman and a werewolf love triangle have in common? They're the focus of this irreverent second instalment of The I Digress Book Club, as we “dissect” the horror classics Frankenstein, Dracula and – just to complete the triangle – the Twilight series. From Gothic masterpieces to Young Adult madness, it's literature, but not as your English teacher taught it.

• Frankenstein’s creature: Not a grunting monster, but a tragic, articulate soul just looking for love… before the murders begin.

• Dracula’s real ambition: More than a bloodsucker—he's an empire builder with a property portfolio and a strategic plan.

• Werewolves and Twilight: Shapeshifters, dodgy love triangles, and Ringo’s critical deep-dive into vampire lore (and dubious werewolf facts).

Workmates: some bring you coffee, some bring chaos and some bring vodka when you crash your car.

In this episode, we reflect on bonding in the trenches of employment – from behind the bar at Randwick Racecourse to team-building gone wrong in Indonesia. Whether makeshift scrunchies, sympathy drinks, or brick-passing power plays, it’s a reminder that the best colleagues are the ones who have your back (or at least your drink).

• Bar shifts and bonding: Undie-updos, near-death hangovers, and colleagues who serve you vodka instead of sympathy.

• Team-building fails: From heroic brick carriers to unearned ice cream and balloon wealth in Batam—how to get camaraderie wrong.

• Drinks = mateship: Why all workplace friendships seem to start (and sometimes end) with a pint or three.

From Paul McCartney’s dreams to Rihanna’s indecipherable lyrics, this music-themed episode is packed with whistled classics, misunderstood verses, and music industry myths. Ringo takes the mic as quizmaster, challenging our knowledge of iconic tracks in a three-part game: guess the tune by whistle, decipher near-impossible lyrics, and spot the lie in celebrity music trivia.

• Whistle that tune: Can you name the song before the high notes kick in? From Beatles classics to Cohen's dirges, it’s harder than it sounds.

• Lyric mayhem: Think you know the words to "Louie Louie" or "Informer"? Think again. We try to make sense of famous mumblers.

• Truth or lie?: Rock star legends are wild - but some are just made up. Ozzy, Bowie, and Hendrix all feature in this ridiculous round.
