Another one from the archive - George and I digging into what makes Clive Barker's "kids story" The Thief Of Always so spectacular. Which, as you might expect, takes a while, because there is A Lot. Enjoy :) Origionally released in November 2019.

In which James Slater-Murphy and Kit Power begin their deep dive into the studio albums of Columbia recording artist Bruce Springsteen. 

With a startling lack of originality, we start at the beginning, taking in 1973s Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ. There's a bit of initial amused bafflement that this is the origin story for one of popular music's biggest and most reliable stadium fillers, but we also discover a lot to enjoy and ponder, especially on side 2, as well as some signposts towards future greatness. An enjoyable start to a keenly anticipated journey.

In which the brilliant James Slater-Murphy and I sit down, pretty much on a whim, to talk about our favourite Bruce Springsteen album, only to back into what we've realised will be a 30-episode deep dive into his studio albums, and selected live performances.

The format is simple; we discuss our initial encounter with the record, then our overall experience, then we go track by track.

It turned out pretty good. We're excited to do more. Hope you dig it.

In which I read two essays from the currently-crowdfunding My Life In Horror Volume II campaign.

The essays cover John Christopher's The Tripods, and ITV's 90's crime show, Cracker. In between, there's a Q&A, where I talk about writing non-fiction, the dangers of notions of 'objectivity', and our seemingly inevitable slide towards authoritarianism.

Enjoy - and if you are reading this before 1st November, be aware that you still have time to back the crowdfunder and bag a limited edition print version, or a discounted ebook. Go get some!

This time out George and I spend some quality time talking about Valve's genre-redefining classic FPS video game, Half-Life. Expect comprehensive spoilers for the plot of the game, and, as ever, huge enthusiasm.

In this classic What The Hell Is Wrong With Us? episode, Geroge Daniel Lea and Kit Power take on not one but two seminal Batman graphic novels - Frank Miller's The Dark Night Returns and Grant Morrisons Arkham Asylum. Expect in-depth discussion and massive spoilers for the texts. Enjoy. 

In the second episode of WTHIWWU? George and Kit take on Poppy Z Brite's seminal Extreme Horror masterpiece Exquisite Corpse. CN: Listen to intro for details, but Exquisite Corpse is dark as hell. So. You know. Caution.
