Monkeys Behaving Badly … MWM do Comic Racks!

comicracksIt had to happen eventually. After months, even years, of snubbing us in favour of unknowns like Paul Cornell and Tony Lee, Comic Racks have finally bitten the bullet and called down the thunder that is … the Monkeys with Machineguns Interview.

Thrill … as we talk about ourselves. Gasp … as we find out about Iz’s toilet habits. Be amazed … at our choice of favourite biscuits. Shrug and say “I thought as much” … when I call Stuart a “French Duke”.

Sadly, despite our best efforts, Iz and Stace have salvaged an almost sensible sounding interview out of our tomfoolery. Listen for the outtakes though (after that Cornell guy again), where you get a true taste of the pain that Iz and Stace went through to bring you this interview.

Happy 50th guys … you don’t look a day over 45!

Sci Fi Pulse Interview

blogtalkradio-thedarkMy interview with the Parsec award nominated Sci Fi Pulse Podcast is now available.

You can listen online via Blog Talk Radio or download for iTunes.

I heard from Ian at Sci Fi Pulse today that the interview is Blog Talk Radio’s “Pick of the Day”, which is great news and no doubt a testament to Ian’s editing skills!

I had a great time recording this, I can’t imagine how much effort went into editing my almost endless manic rambling down into something useful, but kudos to the guys at Sci Fi Pulse for managing it.

Next podcast from me will be a very cheeky interview with the ladies of Comic Racks, in which Stuart misbehaves himself a great deal.

Cymru Con 2009 Cancelled

Received news yesterday that Cymru Con was cancelled, at least for this year.

Official news is that 

Our main sponsor has had to withdraw their financial backing, and with the current economic climate this has simply made it impossible to be able to put on a large event such as Cymru Con as we have been unable to secure further financial backing.

I know a number of the people who have been involved in putting this convention together and we are all obviously disappointed that it will not go ahead this year. It is certainly not for a want of effort from the likes of Iz McAuliffe, who have fought valiantly to keep the con alive.

Still, there is always next year …
