Series 10 concluded with a glorious crossover episode with David Thomas Moore running a game of Dungeons and Disorderly for our three hosts! There is quite simply no way to summarise this episode in any way that will make sense, so without further ado: Paddington Bear Stare We must save the Writeoponomicon! STET! Tiny glove with a white whale on it Regret "We are writers answering the call to adventure!" Keeper Sutherland - not to be confused with Kiefer Sutherland (who also makes an appearance) "We're like a family here." Bertie the wizard cat A Pope-firing trebuchet An...

Season 10 continues with the magnificent M R Carey, in which: Mike understands the assignment when it comes to ‘keeping the recent media we’ve consumed segment to a minimum’.

The guests returned for episode 3 with Andrea Stewart! Which of course meant one of the hosts was missing. Also in this episode: The chat seriously overestimate RJ’s tech skills Scott reads a book! Not during the episode, obviously. It's not that kind of podcast. Andrea introduces the hosts to One Piece Scott starts an argument with the words “The ending was even worse than Lost” The Writeoponomicon is pleased as Andrea teases a new secret project, discusses craft and shares an amazing source for fantasy travel research Some good urtexts make an appearance Kit laments...

Season 10 continues with the hosts being set free without any guest to rein in their shenanigans. Inevitably, excessive shenanigans ensue. Including: A discussion about Winnie the Pooh that leads to sinister pork adverts Scott gets so annoyed with S2 of The Night Agent, he goes into full spoiler mode (you have been warned) David Lynch 10 seasons in and Scott figures out how Discord works Kit gets into serious writing talk RJ teases his current project And there is an unusually long music discussion Listen in for all this and even more chaos!

Season 10 kicked off with the delightful Jonathan Oliver, who immediately awed everyone with his impressive resume! Followed by some strong thoughts from RJ about Red One, Scott’s wrath being triggered over Doctor Who, A Star Wars is discussed, Kit gets to discuss Stephen King, Some very interesting UrTexts make an appearance, Jon gives us interesting insight into the editorial world, And marketing as a concept is thoroughly insulted. Listen in for all this and so much more!

The glorious One Star Quiz returns! This time starring the most independent of adjudicators Laura Mauro, the fabulous James Worrad and the ‘counts as one person’ Tiny Bookcase Ben and Nico! Expect absolutely fair scoring, Ulysses, help/hindrance from the audience, egregious attempts at a Leeds accent, tapirs, facts about Tolkien that the hosts really should have known, and absolutely no cheating or betrayal whatsoever. … Well, maybe a little. What’s a One Star Quiz without at least a little betrayal, after all!

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! ...
