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.
In episode 21 of Watching Robocop with Kit Power, I am delighted to be joined by legendary fantasy author RJ Barker. RJ is simply one of my favourite human beings, and in this freewheeling, wide-ranging conversation, topis we alight upon include:
And much, much more. Enjoy, and thanks as ever for listening.

Just in case you have any lingering doubts, after the last episode, that this entire experiment is at this point entirely, gloriously out of control, I bring you the first ever episode of watching Robocop WITHOUT Kit Power, as Episode 9 guest Rich returns with person-I've-literally-never-heard-of-or-met-who-has-never-even-seen-Robocop-before Weldon and proceeds to do an entire episode of my show, without me.
Yeah. It's as surreal as it sounds.
In an episode littered with bizzare assetions and innacurate assumptions, look out for:
And so much more. Strap in - this one is practically post-modern :)

Well, it happened. After having my dad guest on the show last month, this month I sit down with MY MUM, and watch the greatest movie ever made - for her first viewing, it transpires. And it is EPIC.
As a result of it being Mum's first time, there are a few more pauses than usual, as I give Mum a bit of space to absorb what's happening on screen, and also more narration of the action than in some previous show. But I have to say, for someone who started the weekend asking me what a podcast was, she hits her stride in considerable style. I think this will work particularly well as a commentary track, but I'm sure those of you in podcast land will also find much that brings you joy. Amongst other things, listen out for:
And so, so much more. Enjoy this one, it's really special.
