Captain Roy's Rusty Rocket Radio Show: THE UK Geek Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Classic Doctor Who Podcast

Daredevil (2015) is the perfect nerdstorm and this week I chat about the reboot of this iconic Marvel superhero, Gotham, Jared Leto's new-look Joker, Batfleck, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Avengers: Age of Ultron with actor Chris Townsend of Intangible Productions. This podcast also includes valuable information regarding the aroma exuded by Robert Downey Jr, male grooming and nerd dating and was recorded on Sunday morning in a busy department store restaurant.

Today I chat with Dave Strand from Arizona (who is also a bit of a local rock star) about his audio interactive fiction games that you can find at http://www.multipathaudio.net. We also discuss my continuing online dating saga, Ninjalicious, a job vacancy at Roy's Rocket Radio, listener feedback, how we write, Avengers: Age of Ultron and I moan about too many spoilery Mad Max: Fury Road trailers. George Miller, are you listening? Well, are you? We also stray into some audio production topics that may be of interest to prospective podcasters.

This week, as well as talking about Doctor Who, I update you about my online dating, the contributor and guest situation and the state of my own writing.

This week I chat with prolific UK author Christopher Fowler, creator of the Bryant and May mystery series, as well as many other works of genre fiction, see http://www.christopherfowler.co.uk/ He also expounds some useful writing advice and, oddly, appears to share my difficulty in finding the new entrance of Foyles (about 10ft left of the old entrance - there's a big sign!) Despite his previous work in the film industry, deep connections with Hollywood, and the Bond films' cast and crew, he still can't help me get a date with Berenice Marlohe. Damnit. I also update you about my own writing and let you know what to expect from the show in the next few weeks.

Guest: Earlier this evening we chatted with fellow tech columnist, author and developer Huw Colingbourne. Huw has written for Computer Shopper, PCPro, PCPlus, as well as many other publications. High points of his long career have included interviewing Divine, assisting Richard O'Brien finding a dress or two and being banned by WHSmith... twice.

Today we chat with actress and singer Sophie Aldred who played my favourite companion of the Doctor, the Blue Peter badge wearing, DIY hand-grenade making Ace in Doctor Who from 1987-1989.

In this episode I share my ongoing, and rather accelerated, experience of writing the final draft of my geeky adventure novel. There is also news about the podcast and, as this is the 100th episode, I bought cupcakes!
