Follow That Trebuchet
A couple of lovely things have been released over the past few days. First up, the Blake's 7 Bayban the Butcher set from Big Finish (that's a lot of bs....by which I mean b plural, not an abbreviation of bullshit) is out! Three stories featuring the very best of Blake's 7 guest characters, Bayban, played…

I intended to make another attempt to do a post a day in December. Last year was unsuccessful but, hey, I tried. ALAS, it is 2020, so I missed the fact that December started yesterday. Well done me. This year, well, everyone knows about this year. It started in March, lasted approximately three decades, and…
There are hundreds of articles about starting podcasting online, full of helpful and relevant advice. Is this one of them? Uh, maybe. Sort of. I guess. I mean, why not? I have experience though! It's coming up to Verity!'s seventh birthday (how??!) (also, you can enter our seventh anniversary giveaway!), and Hammer House of Podcast's…
I'm currently taking part in the #WhoForSchools campaign, a project to raise money for non-profits that increase access to education. Along with dozens of other podcasters and some special guests, I've been part of commentaries being recorded for every episode of Season 26 of Doctor Who (there's one with Sophie Aldred! That's rather spiffy.) These…
No, it's not the Doctor Who post in a vaguely timely fashion. I shall get to that about two hours beofre tomorrow's ep, probably. Still, I've now at least seen last week's ep. (One and five sixths thumbs up.) But, anyway, here are some VAGUELY RECENT podcast things I have been doing that I record…
Hello, Tuesday, a day of much mist and rain which was LOVELY...it's not quite windy enough to be a STORM but it is getting there. But, yes, things! I was on a couple of podcasts recently, which were tremendous fun and hopefully Quite Nice to listen to: the latest Low Definition, one of the Incomparable…
I am sleeping so badly this week. And I know part of it's down to ridic anxiety with the world at large. Not even mental health related anxiety, since I really don't think it's irrational to be anxious given the daily news of what's going on. As my dear friend Deb Stanish put it on…
The Best Fancast category in the Hugo Awards is the newest category of the awards; 2016 will only be the fifth year it's been contested. It's also the category that, IIRC, gets the least number of nominations and least number of votes. And this saddens me, cause it's also one of the most important categories…
I meant to do ages ago and forget, brilliantly, but here is this year's post sharing what stuff I made last year that can be nominated for things, should you be so inclined: Companion Piece edited by myself and Liz Barr, is eligible in the Best Related Work category of the Hugos. This is a…
Hello, lovely people! I spent an hour or so of today engaged on a terrible enterprise. Hamilton, that wildly successful musical (I say, just in case you don't know what the dickens I'm on about), has been mashed up with all sorts of other fandoms in all sorts of ways because Hamilton is kind of…
