This time out, RJ, Scott and Kit are joined by the brilliant fantasy novelist Ed McDonald. Expect discussion of Predator/Prey, the myth of artists who don't like their own work, a shocking split decision on dinosaurs and Kaiju, and much, much more. A fitting finale to Season 3. Enjoy :)

This time out, Scott and Kit (and not RJ) are joined by indie horror author and YouTuber George Daniel Lea. In a fun filled, free roaming conversation, we cover such things as:

• RJ being on holiday and Kit not being rude about it
• Scott’s epic list of watching/listening/reading

Enjoy! And thanks for your continued support :)

This time out, RJ, Scott and Kit are joined by self published legend Jon Cronshaw! Amongst many other things, we get into:

• The awfulness of Discord
• Kit recommending crap TV shows
• Absolute chaos
• Justice for obscure Spiderman actors
• Slagging off Morbius before it was cool
• Jon’s Spanish-reading guide dog
• The imaginary reaction of readers
• The return of the Ur Text
• RJ and Kit somehow turning picking a Writeopolis playlist track into 3D chess

An absolute joy from start to finish :)

An ill guest and absent Scott mean RJ and Kit are left alone to play, which goes exactly how you'd expect. Expect a lot of rambling. Also, Craig briefly stopped working somewhere in the middle, so there's a brief tone to note the point where recording stopped and restarted.

Enjoy :)

This time out, Scott, RJ and Kit are joined by the brilliant author Sophia McDougal. Topics covered include:

• The joys of Discord
• Often, but not always, getting Sophia's name right
• Sofia Loren ruining everything for everybody
• Watching mediocre TV for Reasons
• The many, many pitfalls about writing about cops in 2022
• Kit and psychological breakthroughs
• The annoyance of getting characters up and downstairs
• The return of the Ur Text
• Being our kind of people
• A very abrupt ending

On that last, we had some problems with the bot which unfortunately cut the recording short. Apologies for this.

In a guest-free episode, Kit, RJ and Scott get even more off topic than usual, but do end up brainstorming their alleged co-authoring project. Gound covered includes:

• RJs ongoing struggles with the nature of linear time
• Spoiling The Responder for Scott
• Spoilers also for Squid Games and Mandalorian and Boba Fett
• The Guy Ritchie/Spielberg sweet spot
• RJ discovers that the show is recorded
• Live brainstorming for a novel
• Bookending fridge talk

And much, much more. Enjoy :)
