Kickstarter

On this week's show, Brendan, Spindles and Ady chew over the thorny issue that is this year's Hugo nominations. For those of you that are unaware of the controversy around this year's awards, we give a brief run down of what has transpired and mull over what can be done about it in both the short and long term.
We also report back on this year's Eastercon, highlight some current kickstarter campaigns in Crowdfunder Corner and chat over what we are looking forward to in the coming weeks.

It's that time of year again folks. We made the annual pilgrimage to Pwllheli for this year's Sci Fi Weekender 6. And what a weekend it was.
In this week's show, Brendan, Spindles and Ady share their experiences and thoughts on a weekend that contained Julian Glover, James Cosmo, Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Festival of the Spoken Nerd, One man Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, Darth Elvis and the Imperials and much, much more.

This week, Bren, Spindles and Ady talk over the surprise Justice League Dark news, Doctor Who so far, International Tabletop Day and more.
The second half of the show is an interview with the frankly breathtaking Bitter Ruin. You can find their website at http://www.bitterruin.com and their current kickstarter project at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/678193853/bitter-ruin-build-studio-….

This week, Bren, Spindles and Ady are joined in the studio by renowned Steampunk and gamebook author, Jonathan Green.
We talk Empire awards, Doctor Who past, present and future, 80s TV shows, Steampunk, Roleplaying, Films and, of course, the lovely Mr Green himself.
Here's a few of the links for stuff we were chatting about in the show.

As Ady is off in Japan, Brendan and Spindles are joined this week by Emma and the mighty Megan.
We review the Sci-Fi Weekender and chat about Kickstarter, the future and more.
