Racuous, crazy, and great fun … at least until I turned up  … it’s Sidekickcast Episode 33.
Gentlemen … let’s play darts!
I had a fantastic time recording this with Bones and Dan, and I really think that comes through. These guys are always great value. Dan’s done a cracking job of editing some sense into what was several hours of comic book related madness.
If you want to hear a very different take on The Dark to other’s I’ve recorded, and also hear my head almost explode trying to …

I had the immense privilege of being interviewed by the fine fellows Comic Book Outsiders this week about The Dark as well as other matters comic and, after some fine editing of my more rambling and incoherent moments, the interview is now online and ready for your eager ears.
I have just listened to it and can indeed confirm the following …

I say “Basically”, “You know”, “So”, and “Um” … quite a lot, basically, you know?
My voice gets ludicrously high pitched when I get a bit excited.
I have cursed myself to …

The Geek Syndicate team of Barry Nugent and Dave Monteith talk about The Dark in the latest episode of the fantastic “Geek Syndicate” podcast.

It was great to hear such positivity about the story, the ideas in The Dark, and the twisting plotlines. Barry has only had the first three chapters to read so far, and I’m really looking forward to hearing what he has to say when he reads the final chapter in the trade.

Listened to Kryptographik Episode 30 today, featuring Barry “Nuge” Nugent of Geek Syndicate and Fallen Heroes fame. Barry talks candidly about his creative process, the joys and perils of self publishing, and his TV deal for Fallen Heroes.
A fascinating episode, well worth your listening time.

Not satisfied with the hearty dose of monkey-love they received at the Bristol Comic Con, the punishment gluttons of Sidekick Cast have been at it again!
This time, they’ve “gone all intimate” with my fellow monkey Stu.Art as a guest Sidekick in their regular podcast. There are some wise words spoken, some shameless pimping committed, and my name is taken in vain at least three times.
So, if you want to hear what Stu is like without me there to restrain him … Click here to listen to Sidekick Cast Episode #21

The last, I think, of our podcast appearances from the Bristol Con 2009 is featured in Comic Book Outsiders Episode 46.
Chaired by Scott, from Comic Book Outsiders, the Orang Utan panel metamorphosed in a round table discussion on indie comics that also features Stu and I, and the guys from Geek Syndicate.
It’s somewhere in the region of 45 minutes of unplanned, unscripted, but hopefully insightful and amusing banter between the two studios as we share war stories from the world of small press comics.
Particularly worth listening out for are the …

Barry and Dave, the Geek Syndicate, very kindly made mention of Monkeys with Machinegun’s MWM Live! mini-event at the Bristol Small Press Expo in Geek Syndicate – Episode 119.
I must admit, I was a bit concerned about words in these guy’s mouths when I wrote “Scott vs. Geek Syndicate” for Scott from Comic Book Outsiders, but it seems to have gone down well. Writing dialogue for fictional people is much easier, as they rarely come back to you and want to talk about it …

The excellent fellows of SideKickCast have posted our unedited, unexpurgated, mildly humorous, and erratically rambling interview from Saturday Night in the Mercure Bar at Bristol Comic Expo 2009.
It’s not quite The Panel of Legend, but we drop our fair share of “f-bombs”.
If you have the time, why not enjoy …
