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 hosts, once again, fail spectacularly.

• Kit is reading poetry and may have been taken over by an alien parasite

• Mike gives an insight into his latest book Once Was Willem

• RJ completely forgets the format of the show after being off for a week

• Scott invents a new soap opera in his dreams

• The kaiju question makes an appearance

• Mike confirms Yorkshire is awesome

Listen in for all this and more!

Please be aware there is a content warning for episode due to discussion of sexual assault

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 failing to get Black Sabbath tickets

• And, inevitably, Mephi!

Listen in for all this and even more!

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!

Our penultimate guest of the season was the wonderful James Worrad!

Chaotic highlights include:

• The entire podcast going wildly off the rails in the opening few minutes thanks to judge dredd

• A wild Nicholas Cage appears!

• Kit invents a new game to play whilst reading Stephen King

• The sandwich shop of dreams gets a unique entry

• RJ gets confused as to what agents' roles are

• Jim gives RJ a new nickname and Kit a new band name

• Kit talks actual writing, including bring the trauma of The Finite to a new medium

• An exciting sneak peak into Jim's latest WIP!

And much, much more!

Our next season 9 guest was the amazing Stephen Kozeniewski!

Listen in for the excitement that is:
- Scott simply failing to turn up
- Kit discussing reading your own work and RJ discovering the joy of 'making notes'
- A glorious discussion surrounding Philadelphia (both city and cheese)
- Stephen utterly perplexing the sandwich shop of dreams with his offering
- A world exclusive sneak peak at what Stephen's working on
- A deep dive into Douglas Adams
and so, so much more!

Writeopolis season 9 continues with with the brilliant E J Swift!

- Emma delights with tales of swimming with sharks

- Kit discusses the launch of Millionaire's Day at FantasyCon and the potential of bringing the trauma of The Finite to the screen
- Writing craft is discussed, to the surprise of everyone involved!!

Listen in for all this and lots, lots more!
