comic book outsiders – Stephen Aryan

Podcasting Legends

I’m giving that title to someone else, not me, namely Scott Grandison, my partner in crime on our podcast of eight years last week, Comic Book Outsiders. When we started podcasting we had a sign at comic book conventions on our table that said – Ask us about podcasting! Several times an hour, people cameContinue reading “Podcasting Legends”

June Podcasts

It’s not quite July just yet, so I thought I’d do a quick post on this month’s podcasts. Bags of Action Episode 23 is out. Pete and I talk about Salt, starring Angelina Jolie. This espionage, action thriller was originally going to have Tom Cruise in the lead, but it was later rewritten for aContinue reading “June Podcasts”

Nine Worlds 2015

So, we’re still months away from the Nine Worlds Geekfest convention for 2015, which is taking place on 7-9th August in London but I’m writing about it on here for a couple of reasons. I attended the event last year, and it was a remarkable event which was eye-opening and the most inclusive event I’veContinue reading “Nine Worlds 2015”

A Black Time

I was going to do a post about writing, about juggling different parts of being a writer and having a day job, but then three pretty big things happened in the last few weeks. First, Leonard Nimoy died at the age of 83. I’m sure I don’t have to explain who he was to anyone.Continue reading “A Black Time”

February’s Podcasts

As mentioned last month, the Podcasting network I am involved with has had a face lift and a kick in the pants, and now we are back on track with a regular schedule and more new content. Pete Rogers, my co-host on Bags of Action had some very nice things to say about then newContinue reading “February’s Podcasts”

October Status Update

For my 100th post I was trying to think of something special, but kept coming up blank, but this is kind of special for a number of reasons. So it will have to do. Books Battlemage – So, I’ve just finished the latest draft of book 1, Battlemage, and it has now gone off toContinue reading “October Status Update”

My Nine Worlds Experience

Nine Worlds is a new and very different convention in the UK to many of its predecessors that have been around for a long time. Rather than focusing on a particular genre TV show, or medium such as comics, it covers everything. There were over 30 different tracks and I was co-running the podcast trackContinue reading “My Nine Worlds Experience”

June General Update

This month seems to be about podcasting, more or less. For a few months I’ve been busy working away in secret with Barry from Geek Syndicate to plan and coordinate a podcast mini track at the forthcoming Nine Worlds event in London this August. Our panels will run from 10am to 1pm on all threeContinue reading “June General Update”

Man of Steel

I’ve held off writing a post about this, mostly because I wanted to get some distance from the film, so I could write about it with some perspective. In the end I managed to say everything I wanted to on the latest episode of the Comic Book Outsiders podcast I co-host with Scott Grandison. We’reContinue reading “Man of Steel”

What comes next

Last night my co-host, Scott, and I recorded the last episode of our podcast Comic Book Outsiders. We broadcast and recorded it live and some listeners joined in with questions and we even had a guest listener on the show. Unfortunately for him he’d only just discovered the podcast, but at least there is aContinue reading “What comes next”
