About this listen
THE REST IS GIANT ROBOTS - A PODCAST THAT'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EAR.

Writer Simon Furman and artist Andrew Wildman go back to the beginning... Charting a 40-year stint in comics, TV animation, games and more, including - of course - a healthy discourse on the rise and fall and rise again of TRANSFORMERS, also now 40 years old.

In a series of roughly chronological, informal chats, Furman and Wildman relive the ups and downs and highs of lows of the creative life, spotlighting key moments in their respective, and joint, careers - many of which, naturally, involve giant, transforming robots.

Nothing is off-limits, as Furman and Wildman delve deep into their (unreliable) memories, presenting a humorous but warts and all story of life inside the comics biz that is still... TO BE CONTINUED.

    EP37: (W)RING OUT THE OLD...
    Jan 10 2026
    We rehash– um, review 2025's high spots (and low blots) and look forward to what's coming up in 2026 for us both, maybe even a 'team-up'.

    It's been a year! 2025 gets a thorough shakedown as we consider Kickstarters, signings, live events, and even an award wedged in there somewhere, as well as our respective creative outputs - be it on page or screen. And we look forward to 2026 and what that might hold, not least several anniversaries, conventions and maybe even a new Furman/Wildman collaboration. One thing's for sure, come this time next year, neither of us will remember any of it!

    EP36: TURNING AND TURNING...
    Dec 13 2025
    We continue our occasionally dizzying journey through our respective self-published works, and just about manage to keep things from falling apart.

    We go ever deeper into To The Death, Oxygen, Horizon and Five Points (and its' the in-the-works sequel, The Gyre), examining mistakes made and lessons learned along the way... like don't make your first go at creator-owned ten 48-page prestige-format print comics... but somehow we're still gung-ho to go to do something together with The Engine down the line. Some lessons, it seems, are never learned!

    As ever, we welcome your comments, questions and feedback.

    EP35: SELF(PUBLISHING)-ANALYSIS
    Nov 29 2025
    The perils, pitfalls and perks of self-publishing come under scrutiny, as we delve into our respective creator-owned projects.

    We go in deep on To The Death, Oxygen, Horizon and Five Points (not to mention the in-the-works sequel to Five Points, The Gyre), both in terms of conception and the sometimes rocky road to print (or otherwise). It's been a learning curve since we both started developing our creator-owned projects and the how-to/when-to/in-what-form decisions, some good, some not-so, we've made along the way. The pluses and minuses, the highs and lows, we're putting it all out there! Part 1 (of 2, at least!)
