Wed, 27 May 2009 Bringing you the very best hidden gems from the worlds of independent comics, movies and TV.This episode we start with an extended news and reviews where we look at all the TV that's come to an end, what's been renewed for another season, and what new TV shows interest us. There is a lot of new cop, medical and legal dramas starting up, none of which we talk about as they don't interest us! We focus on the interesting genre stuff and sift the wheat from the chaff. After that it's our second book club selection and this episode we're talking about Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a significant sci-fi book published in the 1950s. We talk about its relevance today, how eerily accurate it is, and why we think it is such an important book. We also have feedback and input from listeners and then we announce what the next Book Club selection will be. Comments[0] |
Thu, 14 May 2009 Bringing you some of the very best hidden gems from the worlds of independent comics movies and TV.
Welcome to the Bristol convention special! After some news and reviews we get down to the main business of the show which is talking about one of the big events in the UK comics calendar, the Bristol International Comic Expo, which this year joined forces with the Small Press Expo in a nearby hotel.
After the chat is a great roundtable discussion featuring Orangutan Comics, Monkeys with Machine Guns , Geek Syndicate and 1/2 of Comic Book Outsiders.
This is a long one folks, so make yourself a cup of tea! However if you're not interested in convention talk then rest assured we'll be back to normal next episode. You've got a couple of weeks left to read Fahrenheit 451 for the book club and we'll look forward to receiving your feedback.Comments[0] |
