Episode 27: Anton and Ivan go to Torremolinos. Underwood wants a late night snack, but David isn't so keen ... since the snack in question is Cynthia.

U&F 26 goes live in a mad blur of hurry. I have to go to Spain tomorrow to sell my house in Almacena. Yes, the house in Andalucia where I had the idea for U&F has found a buyer and tomorrow morning at 4am we fly out to clear our stuff out and sign the papers. This means that the episode hasn't gone through the usual level of endless fuss and nit-picking. I spent 12 hours making it, but none checking it for gaffes because I ran out of time; there may be repeat lines in it, there may be burps, coughs, even tea slurpings - I don't know. For the first time ever, I haven't had time to check my final edit. I had to get it online before I go away, and that means getting it live tonight.

And so, with or without burps, Episode 26: It's Eighties Night at La Reina de Corazones. Underwood is keen to try contemporary dancing, but Keith isn't happy to see him trying it with Michelle.

Enemy Lines by John Mierau

I received my copy of "Podthology: The Pod Complex" recently (that's the book that my short story, "Salvation" from the Hall of Mirrors podcast is published in). It also contains stories from Scott Sigler, Tee Morris, Phil Rossi, Emerian Rich, E.A. Zefram, J.D. Williams, Justin Macumber, Marie Bilodeau, Jennifer Rahn, J. Daniel Sawyer, Jack Mangan, Jared Axelrod & Alex T. Crisp.

I showed the story to my mum. She was delighted and enjoyed it, but she disapproved of the swearing. To get parental approval, the denizens of hell need to wash their mouths out with soap

You can order Podthology: The Pod Complex via Amazon.com or your local Amazon-dot-outlet.

U&F 25 is now live. Sorry about the delay, I had to go to England for two weeks and it really set me back. That, and I got a job, which is another great time-eater. Anyway, the episode is now recorded and available for listen / download by clicking the image. Here's a blurb of the episode contents ... (skip it if you want to have no idea as to what to expect).

Episode 25: In which Underwood and Flinch dispose of a body, David learns more about vampires, Lydia's outfit is hard to place, Keith and Billy Boy squabble over pop, and Michelle experiences a strange attraction.

Mike's video short, "The Parent Vac" (made with a few chums on the spur of moment - so don't get all critical on my ass ;-)

"What's in My Fridge?" Video update.

Enough of my home movies, listener Stever Archer is involved in a real movie - an independent horror called The Zombies are Coming to Town. The film is in it's production stage at the moment and they are looking for volunteer dead and fund donors. So if you live nearby (I presume it's in the Maine USA region), and would like to join the undead, there's a link on the site. Best of luck, Steve.

Check out this comedy-horror type home video made by myself and a few friends recently. I play two characters, neither particularly pleasant ;-)

Music on the video: "Dead on the Inside" by Freakhouse.

Episode 24 begins where Episode 24 left off, with Underwood and Michelle's innocent conversation causing all kinds of strange anxieties to ripple through La Reina de Corazones.

I'm going to England for two weeks tomorrow, so I will be unable to respond to comments etc. Don't think me rude, I'm just not here ;-)

Jon Cape has been hard at work on a full-length feature video that brings visual life to my reading of Lovecraft's "From Beyond". The finished work will be available soon, but to whet the appetite, here's a trailer ...

Just a quick note to say that I was recently invited to do an episode of the View from the Quad podcast by my podcaster chum, Cian Mac Mahon. I accepted the offer, and the result is now online at the link below. Seeing as VFTQ is an Dublin-based podcast, the episode has a vaguely Irish angle to it, with music from Dublin's, The Revellions, and some small chat about local issues.

I also bung in a new reading of a Saki story, 'The Quest', which is very jolly.

Basically it's a bit of a Sometimes show, without the fridge.
I hope you enjoy it.

p.s. As this is technically not 'my show' it's not in my feed, so you won't get it automatically - you'll need to follow the link to get it, or download from the VFTQ feed at iTunes.
