Captain Roy's Rocket Radio Show: The UK Podcast for the Culture Geek, Technology Nerd, and Creative Wizard
Summary: Welcome to the greatest show in the multiverse! Strap yourself in for a rip-roaring rocketship ride as you blast off into the Infinite Ocean of Weird. Whoosh! Orbiting Altair City Spaceport's Ye Olde Rocket Tavern at a bar tab defying distance of 1 AU, the Captain presents the UK podcast for the culture geek, technology nerd, and creative wizard. He talks about books, comics, movies, TV, games, toys, art, and music; with an emphasis on genre entertainment; particularly science fiction, fantasy, and horror. An inveterate tinkerer (you have to be to run this old tub), he also talks about whatever happens to catch his tech mad fancy. Produced using alien technology, eldritch powers, and C8H10N4O2 based beverages (following a night of C2H5OH overindulgence on Wednesday the 4th of July 2012).

Podcasts:
This week I chat with prolific UK author Christopher Fowler, creator of the Bryant and May mystery series, as well as many other works of genre fiction, see http://www.christopherfowler.co.uk/ He also expounds some useful writing advice and, oddly, appears to share my difficulty in finding the new entrance of Foyles (about 10ft left of the old entrance - there's a big sign!) Despite his previous work in the film industry, deep connections with Hollywood, and the Bond films' cast and crew, he still can't help me get a date with Berenice Marlohe. Damnit. I also update you about my own writing and let you know what to expect from the show in the next few weeks.
This week, as well as talking about Doctor Who, I update you about my online dating, the contributor and guest situation and the state of my own writing.
Today I chat with Dave Strand from Arizona (who is also a bit of a local rock star) about his audio interactive fiction games that you can find at http://www.multipathaudio.net. We also discuss my continuing online dating saga, Ninjalicious, a job vacancy at Roy's Rocket Radio, listener feedback, how we write, Avengers: Age of Ultron and I moan about too many spoilery Mad Max: Fury Road trailers. George Miller, are you listening? Well, are you? We also stray into some audio production topics that may be of interest to prospective podcasters.
Daredevil (2015) is the perfect nerdstorm and this week I chat about the reboot of this iconic Marvel superhero, Gotham, Jared Leto's new-look Joker, Batfleck, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Avengers: Age of Ultron with actor Chris Townsend of Intangible Productions. This podcast also includes valuable information regarding the aroma exuded by Robert Downey Junior, male grooming and nerd dating and was recorded on Sunday morning in a busy department store restaurant.
