We’re big fans of conventions in the North of England so it’s only natural that we were eager to witness the birth of a new one – and to make things even better it was in our home town! The ONECon committee gave us a lovely room so we could […]

S07E04 – The Noughties
The previous decade saw a lot of changes in entertainment media thanks to the constant evolution of technology. With so many things to watch, play and read we thought we should find out what actually defined the period from 2000 to 2009, so join us as we take a look […]
S07E07 – On Safari
Working with animals isn’t an easy job, but when the creatures also play a part in a movie, game, or even animation then the problems faced reach a whole new level. Who can forget classic TV moments like the Blue Peter elephant, numerous news bloopers involving journalists and animals, or […]
S07E03 – Generations
Please Note: the competition mentioned in this episode has closed! Earlier this year both Sony and Microsoft presented the world with the details of the PS4 and the Xbox One, but away from all the flashbulbs and carefully rehearsed speeches we began to consider the whole idea of generations in […]

S06E24 – Fadsploitation
When it comes to entertainment media the influence that fads hold is undeniable. They have the power to make or shelve movies, turn mediocre games into cash-cows, and alter the public perception of good and bad – in terms of taste and decency anyway. Join us as we explore the strange […]
S06E23 – ConFuzzled 2013
One of the wonderful things about geeks is that we come in all shapes, sizes, ages, races and eccentricities – cosplayers, gamers, steampunks, gadgeteers, nerds, otaku of all types, wargamers, bronies, role-players, chiptuners, comic/manga artists and more. Of all the subcultures in our vast community though, furries are amongst the […]
S06E22 – E3 2013 Special
So the Electronic Entertainment Expo – or E3 as it’s more widely known – is upon us once more, but this year we’ve been expecting major announcements from Sony and Microsoft about their respective next generation consoles. Join us as we consider the opening gambits in what looks to be a […]
