Pex Lives: A Doctor Who Podcast
James Murphy and Kevin Burns are both Certified Minor Internet Personalities with a shared love of Doctor Who. Explore the history of the show with them, as they watch classic serials and chat with each other each month about them. Each month, the pair will pick a classic serial to watch and then break down, exploring the themes, characters and production of the given story. There will also be jokes. Sometimes they may barely mention the show. New episodes every month.

Once again, I'm joined by my friend and frequent collaborator Kit Power - writer of novels, stories and essays, and podcaster - to chat about his newest project.  This time it's his forthcoming collection of essays from his My Life in Horror series, nearing the end of its long and distinguished run at Gingernuts of Horror

We range freely over such subjects as the meaning of Horror in general, the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, nostalgia and problematic faves, George Orwell, time travel, the peculiar religious conversions of rock musicians, Hillsborough, the hypocrisy of the right, and so on. 

Please pop over to Kit's Indiegogo for MLiH and help him fund it.

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.
