Rosebud Is An Awesome Novella, a Professional Interview with Paul Cornell

Today's post is rather different to all the other posts I've made. For it has audio in it. The audio is a short interview with SFF writer Paul Cornell (that guy I do Hammer House of Podcast with) about his brilliant new novella, Rosebud. I had the chance to read an advanced copy and I…

So You Want To Start A Podcast

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!

Everybody needs good podcastings (sung to the tune of Neighbours)

It's classic Who (hurrah!) commentaries with fans, charmingly hosted by Josh from The Memory Cheats. The fourth episode of The Claws of Axos with myself and Deb Stanish has just gone up…
