Dial P For Pulp!

Update

Fri, 8 May 2009 11:52:00 GMT

Well I suppose I really owe everyone an apology for the lack of a new show!
I am working on the next show, but I have really been struggling to find the time and the energy to finish off the editing. A lot of it is procrastination on my part and I can only apologise sincerely for that.
I really am trying to get things back on track at the moment, and I have some great content lined up.

In the mean time have a quick look at these gorgeous photos that have been winging around the web in the past day or two...

I'm still here!

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:01:00 GMT

Just a quick note to say I am still here and working on the next show!

I have recorded a great little piece of fiction, which will possibly run over the next 2 shows. I am just having trouble concentrating on editing it!
I will also be including the last part of the A. Merritt piece, of course (again more editing).

I will hopefully a have the next show up in a week or 2!

Thanks for your patience!!!

A Book Reviewers Linkup Meme

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 22:37:00 GMT

This list has been going around (and growing) so I thought I better add Dial P For Pulp!

=================================================

My list of fantasy and sf book reviewers is woefully out of date. I need your help to fix that. But rather than go through the hassle of having you send me recommendations or sticking them in comments, what you can do is take the following list and stick it on your website, then add yourself to the list, preferably in alphabetical order. That way, I will be able to track it across the web from back links, and can add each new blog to my roll as it comes along. So take this list, add it to your blog, and add a link to your blog on it. If you are already on the list, repost this meme at your blog so others can see it, and find new blogs from the links others put up on their blogs. Everybody wins! Be sure to send the list around to others as well. There is an easy to copy window of all the links and text at the bottom of this post to make it even simpler to do.

I would be ever so grateful if you would help me out.

Bit of a delay with Show 8!

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:27:00 GMT

Due to a software problem show 8 is going to be a bit late.

Basically, I installed Spyware Doctor on both my machines on Friday and it completely screwed up my systems. It seems to have disabled a goodly amount of McAfee and several other parts of my OS.

I have managed to get things back to some kind of normality on my laptop, and the desktop is up and running, but refusing to re-install McAfee. I am going to have to re-install Vista on the desktop over the next few days, and I will probably do the same for my laptop (as it is still a little flakey)!

I may try to get Show 8 out before the laptop rebuild, but it depends on how well the machine works over the next day or two.

At the moment I am spending most of my time tracking down all the software I use and making sure I have all of the licenses and driver that I will need.

As for Show 8, I have all the content planned and mostly written, I am just finalising a couple of reviews and then I hope to record/edit it.

I just bought a hardware compressor which (podcasters and audio techs will know) should improve the sound quality a little, and mean I don't have to spend quite so much time editing out the breaths and background noises. So hopefully it will speed up the editing process!

keep listening...

   by Ron Hanna of Wild Cat Books

For those not familiar with the Doc Savage Oath it goes as follows, please excuse my delivery.

   âLet me strive, every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit from it.
   âLet me think of the right, and lend my assistance to those who need it with no regard for anything but justice.
   âLet me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage.
   âLet me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens, and my associates in everything I say and do.
   âLet me do right to all, and wrong no man.â?

Red Shadows by Robert E. Howard

Letâs Get Talking

   As it clearly grew out of Pulp, should I look at modern, Science Fiction and Heroic Fantasy on a regular basis, or should I aim the show in a more nostalgic direction and concentrate on the original pulps and works that are trying to emulate them?
