Marc Didden (1949) begon zijn carrière in de jaren 1970 als muziekjournalist bij het weekblad Humo en is sindsdien blijven schrijven, interviewen en observeren; als auteur, filmmaker, scenarist en docent. Sinds 2007 verschijnt bijna wekelijks een column van zijn hand in De Morgen. In zijn kenmerkende stijl fileert hij genadeloos alles wat zich afspeelt in onze maatschappij. Hij vertelt over wat hem bezighoudt, verwondert en ontroert, en waar hij zich aan ergert.

Na het succesvolle Het Verdriet van de mediawatcher publiceert Luster opnieuw een bundeling van Didden's beste columns uit 'Place du Samedi', dit keer vergezeld van tijdloze teksten over muziek uit '26 Schallplatten' en uit de Humo-rubriek 'Summer in the City' en van enkele nieuwe teksten die hij speciaal voor dit boek schreef. Met op kop 'De kunst van de column', waarin Didden niet alleen zijn haat-liefdeverhouding met het genre onder de loep neemt maar ook een aantal inzichten meegeeft waar (toekomstige) columnisten iets aan hebben.

Bij Luster verschenen tevens van zijn hand Het verdriet van de mediawatcher (2010), Scenarioschrijven: over de noodzakelijkheid van zitvlees - De essentie (2011), Onderweg (2015, samen met Herman Selleslags), Een gehucht in een moeras (2017), Een redelijk leven (2019), Van Zwol (2022), Over cinema (2022), Diddy Wah Diddy (2024) en Seventy Five (2025)

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item. This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them. I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows? The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart. I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.
