It's been a while, but we're back - and we have a ton of episodes already in the can so we should have no trouble maintaining a weekly schedule in 2020. Regie and Hat discuss early episodes of modern Doctor Who with Alice, who managed to get to her late twenties without ever having seen it! Full show notes will eventually be available in the blog section of www.destinationvenus.co.uk Contact the p...

As the Thought Bubble convention draws ever closer, Regie chats with Cardiff based comic creator Sarah Millman over Skype - which is why his voice sounds a bit fuzzy at first. (Don't worry, audio quality improves.)

If you're reading this on the day it drops, it's October 10th Mental Health Awareness Day. Regie and Steve marked the occasion by going to see The Joker, then they immediately sat down to try and process what they saw.

In an episode somewhat marred by audio issues (mostly as a resuly of a poor Skype connection, we think) Regie interviews comic writer Michael Moreci about his books "Mall" and "The Plot".

We're cheating. All the geeks are busy - Ian has art deadlines, Hat and Liz are moving house, Matt's doing publishing stuff, Regie is up to his eyeballs in Thought Bubble and UCI preparations, Steve and Helen are doing the quiz thing, Jack is getting out and doing VoxPod and all the geeks on the rosta who have kids are dealing with the whole back to school thing. We're a bit cavalier with the podc...

Argh. We're late - entirrely because Regie was experimenting with a new editing technique which, it turns out, takes massive amounts of time (1 min of episode took about 26 mins of editing) and doesn't actually produce the desired result. Lesson learned. But now join Hat and Regie as they discuss season three of Jessica Jones and then move on to the announcements Marvel made at SDCC. Full show not...

The reverie continues as Steve (who had issues with his mic, so occasionally sounds like he's at the bottom of a well. Sorry.)
