Stacey’s Pop Culture Parlour

Cor, it's a threeway (ooh-er!); we have Kelly Sue De Connick, Dominic Westerland and Andi Ewington! Kelly Sue's up first, and we discuss the representation of women in comics, Bitch Planet, bearded dragons and loads more besides. Following that we have voice actor and radio personality Dominic, who tries to make me feel better about my Ray Gunn & Starburst audition as well as chatting with us abou...

Alright folks, want some more live podcast fun times?! (I don't really care what your answer was there, because you're getting it either way!) This episode starts with an hour of Barry and I talking nonsense when a guest misses their slot (oops!); we divulge our favourite chocolate bars, what we think about comic conventions in the UK, whether Frankenstein is a monster or a zombie, and loads more....

Cor blimey, it's another bit of the 24hr podcastathon that was Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour : Live 2! This segment features Sarah Graley; writer, artist and member of the band Sonic The Comic convincing Barry to watch Rick and Morty, plus more talk on cats, comics and butts... Following Sarah is the wonderful comic-type Rachael Stott (although she sometimes sounds like she's underwater, she's stil...

It's time for another slice of fried gold from the live broadcast! This episode sees Barry and I joined by returning guest, top notch actor and all-round awesome fellow Peter Spellos, and we get down to the nitty gritty of all things nerdy. We discuss Peter's improv classes (and why I should probably take them), Batman vs Superman, Lois & Clark, the DC CW shows and loads more! Following that, a wi...

It's time for the second part of our 24hr charity extravaganza! This time, Barry & I are joined firstly by lovely webcomicker and jolly spiffing lady, Sian Jefferson. We do a terrible job of properly interviewing her and end up talking mostly about cats... Following Sian we have writer and artist Nigel Auchterlounie (I am still marvelling at that wonderful surname) talking politics, comics and loa...

It's been almost a week since the epic fun time that was Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour: Live 2 (officially Episode 53, because I say so), so it's about time I started dropping some of the bonkers brilliance into your earholes! This first installment kicks off the show, including a terrbile quality version of the first 4 and a half minutes that were never aired, crudely ripped from a Periscope video...

Hot on the heels of my interview with Kevin Eastman (alright, maybe it's like a month since that interview, but we recorded this pretty soon after) comes Podcast In A Half Shell Episode 12! In this installment, I reflect on my ramblings with Mr. Eastman, we share our thoughts on TMNT 2: Out Of The Shadows, and Duncan introduces a new segment about video games. Cor! Listen in as we chat about allso...

Hellllloooooo! Welcome to Episode 52 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This month Stacey is joined by her good buddy and fellow topic-digresser, Sam Harrison! Sam brings absoulte chaos to the show in the form of a soundboard and a cat, which promptly causes Stacey to lose her mind and any semblence of podcast hosting skill... Once on track, the pair talk at length about The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow...

Cor, look, a lovely jubbly bonus episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! 'What's this all about then?' I hear you ask, and I will tell you; I got the opportunity to speak to someone who created something that has been a HUGE part of my life. The TMNT have been there for basically my whole nerd life, and I love them to bits, so imagine my insane excitement and sheer terror at bagging an interview...

Welcome one and all to Episode 51 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! Joining Stacey in The Parlour for a spot of booze and chinwagging is her good friend, telly extra and music making guy, Neil Morris! Neil and Stacey seem to suffer from tangent-itis this episode, as their chats on Captain America: Civil War, Jungle Book and Bad Neighbours 2 somehow end up being about asking stupid questions, not fi...

After having run out of films to talk about, Duncan and I have turned to the 90's Image comic run for this episode of Podcast In A Half Shell! Hear what we think about the 'extreme' nature of the stories, Raph's facial disfigurement, Donnie's death (again), being a Level 7 ninja, scantily clad lady ninjas, whether athleticism and large boobs can coexist and much more! All this, plus I watch an epi...

Hi all! So, I released Episode 50 a little early to make way for a Ray Gunn And Starburst Super Big Announcement Special featuring Holly Rose (creator of RGaS and voice of S.U.I.T), Ian Sharman (producer and voice of Castelan Lar), Dominic Westerland (Ray) and Georgia Humphrey (Starburst), and then the internet ate it. Or my laptop ate it. Someone ate it, and it certainly wasn't me. So instead, ha...

In a bid to do something special for this, The Parlour's 50th episode, Stacey, Duncan & Rich got super, SUPER drunk and talked mostly about Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. We're sorry... (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING for Batman vs Superman, The Flash and Age of Adeline. MILD SPOILER WARNING for Cop Car & Daredevil S2). ENJOY! Episode Theme - 'Deadpool Rap' by Team Headkick End Theme - 'Kiss From A R...

Ladies, gents and everything in between, welcome to Episode 49 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour; the podcast best served with tea and cake! (Except there's no cake...Someone bring cake!!) Joining Stacey in The Parlour this month is comics colourist and creator and all-around cracking chap, Kris Carter! Kris and Stacey discuss some of Kris' comic work, including Transformers (and how Stacey suffers...

Welcome, ladies and gents, to the 10th episode of the best podcast about ninja turtles recorded in a kitchen in Birmingham, Podcast In A Half Shell! This episode, Duncan and I sink our teeth into the mildly disappointing second installment of the TMNT live action movies; Secret of The Ooze! We discuss why Keno makes us want to punch him right in the kisser, why having swords makes getting out of a...

Guess what, guys?! It's The Parlour's 4th birthday! Well, it was yesterday, but close enough... Anyhoops, to celebrate this momentous occasion, Stacey is joined by not one but two lovely guests; fellow UK Podcast Awards Nominees Nick and James of the 2 Grown Men podcast! Things get weird in this one as the trio of podcast hosts seem to lose all ability to host a podcast or stay on topic at all......

What's this now? Oh, that's right, it's Bonus Parlour Action just for you! Following the audio disaster that was Episode 47, Stacey brings a shiny new episode to say sorry/make herself feel better about her podcasting life...! Joining Stacey in this bonus bonanza is Parlour favourite and regular, Jenni Newman! The ladies talk about some actual books they read, Stacey bigs up The History of Future...

You guys, I am so sorry for this episode! I'll explain more at the start of the show itself but basically this episode can be classed as a Technological NIGHTMARE. The sound quality is really bad and nothing I tried could save it. And then I got too tired/cross/sad to try anything else or re-record it. So, if you make it to the end of this episode, I owe you a cookie.* This episode sees Rich retur...

Welcome one and all to Podcast In A Half Shell; the podcast you come to when you want to hear two muppets talking mostly about the Ninja Turtles and partially about anything that happens to pop into their noggins!  On this episode, it's the day before Duncan's birthday and he and I make a very unprepared attempt at reviewing Series 1 of the 1987 TMNT cartoon! I do a pretty good job at not dropping...

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas one and all! As a very special gift to all you good guys and gals out there (and even the not-so-good ones!), Stacey brings you not one, but TWO (and-a-bit) WHOLE HOURS of mulled wine, whiskey and rum-fueled Christmassy brilliance/madness! Joining Stacey at The Parlour's Christmas Boozey Do are 3 returning champions of the podcast; Stacey's husband Rich, and their good bu...

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this months' installment of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! Making a triumphant return to The Parlour and promising to be nicer to Stacey than when he was last on is the lovely-jubbly cartoonist and podcaster, Luke Foster! The pair talk about an inordinate amount of pop culture-y goodness; expect spoilers for Spectre and most episodes of Rick and Morty, plus some les...

Major league butt-kicking is back in town (again) as Duncan and I make an attempt to review 2009's feature length 25th anniversary special, Turtles Forever! As it turns out, I'm much more precious about the 80's TMNT than I thought, Duncan is much more precious about the 2003 series than he thought, and we both suck at voice acting... On top of all this, we weigh up the pros and cons of sauerkraut...

Huzzah, it's that time of the month again (no, not that one!); it's new Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour time! Joining Stacey in the room of never-ending (imaginary) cakes is no stranger to podcasting, the Trash Compactor's own Oliver Thomas! Expect absolutely WHOPPING SPOILERS for the Rick and Morty S2 finale (and other Rick and Morty episodes), the season opener of The Walking Dead and Doctor Who, m...

As it's International Podcast Day (someone get me a cake, STAT!), I thought I'd treat you all to this little gem/mess; Episode 0 of Comic Racks! What's Comic Racks, you say? Well, it was only my first foray into the world of podcast co-hostery, along with my good friend and fellow nerdy bird, Iz. Originally airing waaaaaay back on 25th October 2007 on the Geek Syndicate feed, this episode was a hu...

Weeeeeeeeeeeehoooooooooooooo, it's Episode 43 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! As a birthday treat to herself, Stacey has not one but two brilliant guests for you this episode; the triumphant returns of Taylor Esposito and Lee Grice! Keeping their fingers firmly on the pulse of modern pop culture, the three discuss Taylor's first experience of The X-Files as Lee gets nervous about re-watching Andr...
