You Are Hearing Me Talk... To Ten Forward about Star Trek: The Fall

Another day, another podcast - and this one is a team effort!

Sina Alvarado over at the TrekMate site put together an interview for the Ten Forward podcast with four of the five authors of the Star Trek: The Fall miniseries, featuring David R. George III (who wrote Revelation And Dust), David Mack (A Ceremony Of Losses), Dayton Ward (Peaceable Kingdoms) and me (The Poisoned Chalice). Sadly, our fellow writer Una McCormack (The Crimson Shadow) wasn't able to join us, as she's recently become a new mum with all the baby-related stuff that requires, but the show still represents the first gathering of us to discuss the miniseries.

And naturally, putting DRG, D-Mack, Wardo and myself on air together means that there's five minutes of out-takes at the end...

You Are Hearing Me Talk... to Explosive Alan

I totally forgot to blog this a couple of weeks ago, so here's another bite of the cherry - I got to join the top chaps at The Explosive Alan Podcast last month, acting as a temporary co-host on their videogames news and discussion show.

Much fun was had by all, and once more I want to thank Dan, Ash, Simon and Gareth for having me on the show.
