Something for the Weekend 02-13-16

This week's Something for the Weekend is now at Patreon and in my public feed. It features listener comments about their favourite Stephen King movies (posted at my Facebook group and at Patreon). The episode also features the first 13 minutes of After the Plague. The whole podcast of which goes live - as you know - on Tuesday 16th at Podiobooks.

First 4 Minutes of the latest Walking Dead episode released ...

AMC have released the first four minutes of the first episode of the new Walking Dead half-season (that's a mouthful) which airs on Sunday. I haven't watched it myself because the flipping content isn't available in my country. Hate it when they do that. But if you're in the US you can watch it, and if you're in the UK, you can read Bloody Disgusting's review of the clip here. 

And on the topic of zombies, my own zombie podcast novella, After the Plague, will soon be available to download from my page at Podiobooks. Watch this space for updates!

Damn Alarm!

I can't write or record anything today because the damn house alarm keeps beeping to announce that someone is tampering with the front door. And they're obviously not. The landlord's on holiday. The company that installed the alarm have gone out of business. Meanwhile, ten minutes after every re-set ... BEEP! BEEP! 

*Sigh* What can you do? ... Other than re-design your website's audiobook / podcast page, and hope that one of the random local alarm boffins on the internet in our area will eventually answer their mobile phone and come to help us? High ho.

On a brighter note, here's a lovely cover Jon Cape designed for my Something for the Weekend podcast.

Something for the Weekend 30-01-16

Something for the Weekend 30-01-16 (or "Episode 4", if you prefer). In this week's episode I talk about adaptations of H.G. Welles' War of the Worlds, digressing onto related topics like Dr Who and The Time Machine. Fifteen minutes streaming consciousness - like being in a cafe with me when I've had way too much coffee.

SFTW Extra - Pickman's Model by H.P Lovecraft

Something for the Weekend Extra - Pickman's Model by H.P.Lovecraft. Huzzah!! I read HPL's classic chiller in this longer than usual episode which is more akin to my other podcast, Sometimes. So why don't I just call it "Sometimes", then? Well, because I'm going to stick with the SFTW brand for 2016 and hopefully build up my listenership with something "regular" - as opposed to something "Sometimes". A cunning plan, no?

Something for The Weekend 2

Okay, so the blog post is late - but the episode wasn't. Something for The Weekend 2 is now live in my public podcast feed. In it, I talk about my only Bowie experience (Milton Keynes 1983), the Murdoch - Hall engagement, and a film I very much enjoyed called The Visit.
