Writeopolis S9 E2 - David Wragg
Writeopolis!
Writeopolis Season 9 continues with the brilliant David Wragg! The chaos begins early in this one and soon descends into: The ghost of the clicky pen haunting Kit Everyone gets very confused about who everyone is A philosophical discussion about crossbows appears Dave discusses his latest release and compares it to the Fast and The Furious. In terms of physics. Obviously. Conspiracy theories around Catcher in the Rye run deep RJ justifies everything ever as a research expense Dave gets called out on his crimes against bears (in his books) and the ever inevitable, Cat Talk! ...

Writeopolis S9 E1 - The Tiny Bookcase crossover
Writeopolis!
Season 9 kicks off with a glorious crossover with Ben and Nico from The Tiny Bookcase! In this episode (which may have slightly exceeded the 1 hour timeslot): RJ returns! Along with the clicky pen. And then goes on to explain how he nearly died. Don’t worry, only nearly. Ben manages to get the word ‘banjanxed’ into the show, which left the citizens suitably impressed. Talk gets unexpectedly spicy RJ and Scott fail to do the homework, which inevitably leads to Scott being fired RJ fundamentally misunderstands the concept of ‘moving on’ The Tiny Bookcase theme tune is...

Writeopolis S8 E5 - Fantasy Book Club crossover
Writeopolis!
After the success of our previous crossover episode, we decided to do it again, this time with Fantasy Book Swap! The Fantasy Book Swap part of the episode discusses Devil on the Road by Robert Westall and Unraveller by Frances Hardinge, which inevitably includes: the delights of second hand bookshops and whether they're all secretly drug fronts. a deep dive into the English civil war. Ali getting spirited away to another time zone and whether the benefits of a curse outweigh the problems The Writeopolis part of the episode lowers the tone with: RJ being blamed for something...

Writeopolis S8 E4 - Rebecca Levene
Writeopolis!
Season 8 continues with the delightful Rebecca Levene as guest! Including: In a move that will shock absolutely no one, Dr Who is discussed! The inclusion of Labyrinth in that same conversation was certainly a surprise though. Scott reads some actual books. Disgraceful behaviour on a writing-adjacent podcast, quite frankly. Rebecca gets the citizens very excited about her current writing, which she describes as "I am Legend the movie, set in Yorkshire, but chick lit, also lesbian". Yes please (As an update, The Last Woman On Earth by Bex Benjamin is out now!!) Kit goes on a deep dive...

Writeopolis S8 E2 - Eliza Chan
Writeopolis!
Unfortunately, Craig, the ever-fickle recording bot, decided to do an update 6 minutes into James Worrad’s episode so there is no recording of the first episode of Season 8. Don’t worry, James will return!! Craig knew better than to misbehave for Eliza Chan though and so here we have episode 2 of season 8 in all its glory! Including: - Some egregious spreadsheet slander - Scott attempting to communicate through morse code ...

Writeopolis S7 E2 - Sunyi Dean
Writeopolis!
Season 7's first guest episode kicks it off with Sunyi talking all things Star Trek, Farscape, Patrick Stewart’s biography and villains wearing BDSM clothes. RJ expresses his longing for ceremonial robes and his extremely controversial music opinions. There is some outstanding talk of Santa Jaws and The Velocipastor. Everyone is shocked by actual discussions of writing things and Kit brings things back to normal by predicting this episode would be released a month after recording.
