An ISN special report confirms Kehaar is doing the Liverpool Half Marathon if you want you can sponsor him hear http://www.justgiving.com/Andrew-Clark1 TWGNN is also willing to sponsor a Comic Forum project - details on the Geeksyndicate forum an executivue summary below from Bluemeanie: "Ok, short version - if we get enough teams to warrant doing it, we were after short comic stories of up to 10 pages max. The theme at the moment is just nerd-life, but this might change if the forum gets fixed and people can actually give feedback.
Deadline wise, were talking end of September which should be enough for even the laziest to get 3 or 4 pages together. Then it all gets put in a book, thrown up in Indyplanet and any and all proceeds go to the Hero Initiative.
In the past these have just been a bit of fun and only shift copies to people who have something in there, but its still a bit of fun and good practice." Interested wrIters or artists get in touch with Blue Meanie at ecbt2000AD@yahoo.co.uk or on the forums Comments on the episode n the forms or twogeekswithnonamepodcast@yahoo.co.uk"

Scrolls - Episode 0 "We All Have To Start Somewhere"
Episode Duration: 1 hour, 23 minutes and 16 secondsWelcome to the pilot episode of Scrolls, the podcast for literary geekdom.
The team first explores some of the influences that got us interested in fantasy, sci-fi and horror back in the day. We then roll an eye over the books we've been reading most recently, before beginning the first of our (soon to be legendary) discussions about the vast flood of literary adaptations out there. Finally we share some of the books we feel compelled to come back to again and again.
Amongst it all we wander between swearing monkeys, dead wasps and the joyously camp fifth ghostbuster. We ponder deep mysteries such as the genre placement of Muppet Treasure Island and just how easy it would be to get a can of coke in Mordor. We also discover which member of the cast cheated at Fighting Fantasy,which one rates The Very Hungry Caterpillar as a formative piece of genre fiction and who thinks there's just something special about a pangolin.

Two geeks with no name podcast: Series 1 Empires: Episode 1 The Klingons
Episode Duration: 47 minutes and 35 secondsWith the 'Two Geeks With No Name' podcast you get two opinionated gets dissecting and disputing the social science in and behind a popular piece of science fiction (and who knows maybe one day fantasy.)
We're looking to get an even spread of disucssion material from TV, film, Books and were possible comics, games, radio and other media.
We're splitting it into thematically linked series of about 6 episodes- so for our first we'll be looking at Empires - by which we mean the states which dominate a particular SF universe.
For our first and pilot episode we chose the Klingon Empire simply becausebecuase there is so much material out there and wend our merry way through the analogies, relations and power of the Klingons with side tracks into the economics of Star Trek, Star Fleet diplomacy and Kirk branded cologne
For our second we're thinking of doing Dune (but only the first 3 books!)
We would love input from the audience on future ideas for both episodes (is there a particular SF Empire you would like to see dissected?) and themes for series (Law & order, rebel movements, Religion in SF are some of muted topics for future series.)
We're also open to name suggestions and possible logo rebranding.
Any ideas email: twogeekswithnonamepodcast@yahoo.co.uk
