Pex Lives: A Doctor Who Podcast

Here is the next part of the loooong discussion between myself, Jack Graham, and the excellent Holly Boson (@fireh9lly) in which Holly explains Final Fantasy VII to me, a total novice, in pitiless detail. In this episode we delve into the history and politics of sequels and remakes, and fandom as a way of constructing the self. Content warnings apply because some potentially troubling issues are m...

The first part of a new, multi-part Shabcast in which my brilliant friend, writer and podcaster Holly Boson (@fireh9lly), takes me on a journey into a realm of which I was previously entirely ignorant, the complex labyrinth that is the Final Fantasy series of video games, especially Final Fantasy VII.   This first episode is an hour long and is just the preparatory context she needed to give me to...

It's called Survival - and only the strong can survive

The Pex Lives lads have returned after tragically losing an episode. They chat elections (you know, Solihull's by-election, the recent gains made by Plaid Cymru) and lockdowns and the worst (?) serial of Doctor Who, which James picked cos he fancied some Troughton and did no further research.

Picking up from where they briefly left off, Lee & James discuss 1973's death cult biker folk horror action classic Psychomania.

Heeeeere's Jack, back with another Shabcast.  In a break from recent tradition, this new episode does not feature me talking to Kit Power about his new book even though he does have a new book out as usual.  Devastating news?  Well, it would be except that instead I'm talking to the unfeasibly and annoyingly talented Christine Kelley (@ballardiangorse), writer of the brilliant Dreams of Orgonon bl...

Kevin and James get their literature on.

Looks like Germany's declared war on the Pex Lives boys.

Kevin and James are back with a chat on the infamous Talons of Weng Chiang.

Your friends at Pex Lives sat down to chat some Doctor Who.... and then didn't. Look forward to part two, where we will!

This time last week, Kit Power & a plague ridden James S. Murphy sat down to discuss the rapidly deteriorating state of British politics. Now! For the first time, you can hear their words as though they were said out loud next to your very ears, thanks to the magnificent modern marvel of Recorded Sound!

The long awaited (by a small number of people with extremely good taste) return of the Shabcast.  I chat with Kit Power about his new books, a non-fiction book about the movie Tommy and, more particularly, his new novella The Finite . Instantly one of my personal favourite ever Shabcasts. Mild content warnings and spoilers * Show Notes: Tommy from PS Publishing The Finite from Black Shuck Books Ki...
