The boys are back in town - unplanned, unplugged and mostly uncut (apart from Skype disconnects). With so much going on in the geek world over the last few months Scott and Steve get back onto the mics to discuss the movies, TV and comics they've been enjoying. This is the first in a new semi-regular series of CBO episodes with a slightly more laid-back feel. Enjoy! |

Welcome to the first book club of 2013! Our next selection is 'The Time Machine' by H. G. Wells. The book is out of copyright so it should be very cheap to buy, or free if you've gone digital. In the episode we talk to author Anne Lyle about her novel The Alchemist of Souls. A historical fantasy novel set in an alternate Elizabethan England. We talk about Anne's work, the evolution of the book and what she has planned for the future. |

Our next book club selection will be The Alchemist of Souls by Anne Lyle. We'll be talking about it on week commencing January 7th 2013 so be sure to let us know what you think of the book. Anne Lyle has also agreed to come onto the podcast and answer any questions from the listeners. You can send in general feedback on the book and questions via Twitter or the Good Reads forum. |

This is a recording of the Hypergirl and Hero 9 to 5 panel from the Bristol Comic Convention back in May 2012. Scott was asked to take part at the last moment - but had a great time interviewing Harry Markos and the creative team behind these two great graphic novels. |

Scott and Steve start with the usual news and reviews before moving on to discuss a couple of their own 'Room 101's. What geek and genre things would they choose to consign to oblivion forever?
