Ron, you’ve chosen some great musical picks over the course of the podcast – Jawbreaker comes immediately to mind – but you’ve outdone yourself with the Wedding Present. Well Done! (my apologies to Conor or Josh if it was actually their choice…)
You were correct in giving Ron credit for that. No offense at all.
I loved Warren Ellis’ novel. IT gained alot of momentum as it went on.
Hey–that was nifty hearing my review discussed on the podcast! Thanks!
The screenname is pronounced bansheewail…bansidhe is the Irish spelling of the word. Also, I’m one of the rare and elusive fangirls! Not that either of these things matter, but thought I’d say hello.
Hi, I met Mike Carey at a con a few years back. He was writing for British comics solely back then, with a day job as a teacher. So I’d say he wasn’t an established writer pre-comics, unless you count writing 8/10 occasionally.
Lovely fella!
