Writeopolis S6 E1 - The boys are back!
Writeopolis!
After an extended hiatus, the Writeopolis crew reassemble for what mainly ends up being a mammoth catch up over the films and TV we've been watching. We also chat about why we've been away for a while, and it all gets a bit heavy for a while, but there's also a lot of laughs, and not a little bit of hope and joy. So, enjoy. It's very, very good to be back :)

Writeopolis!

Writeopolis S5 E6 - Jim Mcleod
Writeopolis!
In which legendary reviewer and blog site wrangler Jim Mcleod visits Writeopolis with his trademark blend of opinionated humility and glorious sense of humour. Featuring a legendary entry in the sandwich shop of dreams series, a dramatic split decision on the Big Questions, and, despite tech gremlins periodically swallowing Jim and RJ's audio (apologies for that, bloody Discord bots), a really fun, wide ranging conversation. No Scott. He'd been fired. Again.

Writeopolis S5 E1 - Host Only
Writeopolis!
In this host-only first show of 2023, Scott, RJ and Kit attempt a 2022 wrap up, which goes about as well as you'd imagine, with Scott going month by month from the spreadsheet, RJ bouncing about all over the place, and Kit struggling to remember three TV shows he even watched this year. Last year. Yeah, they make that mistake so much they give up completely. For all that there are a ton of laughs, and load of interaction with the chat. It's good to be back :)
