    Direct Podcast Download

    Tim and Max Solve All The Problems With Popular Culture is STILL the newest podcast in the unstable time vortex that is the Geek Syndicate Network.

    The podcast aims to do exactly what it says on the tin - young buccaneers Tim Swann (@tetrarchangel on twitter) of Psycomedia (psycomedia.wordpress.com) and Max Barnard (@maxy_barnard on twitter) of You Must Hear This (imustreadthis.com) identify a key area where popular geek culture falls down and then try and come up with some ways that both the creators and the audience can fix it.

    In our sixth and final-ish episode, we discuss our present obsession with origins, get rather niche in references to our own podcasts, talk a lot about Spiderman, praise All-Star Superman and try and come up with quick summaries for less well-known characters, and Tim's man-crush of the week is Kyle MacLachlan.

  • Scrolls Chapter 18: Apocalypse Wow

    8 March 2012 (1:52pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 47 minutes and 41 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    After a short hiatus the Scrolls team is back, just in time for the end of the world. Join us as we explore the subject of apocalypse with regards to our beloved genres of science fiction, horror and fantasy. Books discussed include: Good Omens, The Tripods trilogy, Wolf In Shadow, The Last Battle, The Stand, The Road, Strength Of Stones, The Mist and Z For Zachariah.

    We start our exploration with 'Judgement Today,' as cultures, civilisations and species face the threat of extinction. Why do writers return to these uber-threats time and again and what do we, the readers get out of it? In the middle section 'Armageddon Outta Here' we look at the last survivors trying to make sense of the end-times, seeking a last bastion or just trying to survive. What does 'The End' mean in real and psychological terms to mankind? We wrap up with 'Post-Post-Apocalyptic,' running our eyes over some brave new worlds to see what some authors have used armageddon to achieve in terms of recreating civilisation from the ashes of the past.

    Which all sounds very high-faluting until you remember that this is Scrolls and most of the time we're stuffing our faces, making obscene jokes, wandering off-topic or discussing things that we may not actually, properly... (technically) have read.

    Therefore, in addition to the packed programme you can discover who Really wrote the music for The Omen, hear our review of a book that doesn't really exist, learn how to kill and cook a certain podcaster if things get particularly bad and (if you listen very carefully) you may even discover an Easter Egg.

    See below for the various links we mention in the podcast.

    City Of Hell Chronicles

    Lily Child's Feardom

    100 Horrors: Tales Of Horror In The Blink Of An Eye

    Human Slaves (In An Insect Nation)

    Kim Curran's 'Shift'

    See you in the next world. In the mean time, keep reading.

    Despite Kehaar's assertions (or maybe he thinks he's slept through a whole series), Series Five wraps up our traditional "Conclusions" episode, where we try to pull together any common threads, talk about things we've missed, and probably continue to miss even more things. We also talk about some of our reader feedback and to add to the excitement it's Matt's first turn in the editing chair.

    Next series we are looking at Alternative Histories - we should be getting something out on the running order and content as soon as we have stopped arguing about it!

    The GS crew were out in serious force at the SFX Weekender event this year. Did you spot us all? Well one week later Barry and his syndicated geeks Amy, Ant, Clover, Dion, Matt (The Grampus) and Phil got back around the mic to talk through our experiences in North Wales, good and bad. You'll find out what it's really like to attend one of the best geek Events in Britain, how to survive it and how to get the best bang for your buck.

    The episode is a biggie so clear your schedules or, if you'd prefer, nibble us piecemeal as we wade through the major events, guest stars and surprise hits of the show.

    Along the way we don hotpants, duck time-travelling ninjas, achieve total-toilet-ambush and discover the voice of a sex-god... among many other treats.
    We mention YouTube videos that have since become available, so you can see some of the delights on offer. Click here to see a bunch of them.

    The Weekender is truly an event to be experienced. Join us here to help relive the great times you had, or see what you missed out on. Either way, hopefully we will see you all there in 2013.

    In our third episode, we discuss mediocrity, hopefully without being mediocre. There's unavoidable Lucas and Spielberg chat, trying to force stuff into franchises, the problems with properties that sell no matter what, and inevitable preludes to the next episode, which will concern money. We might have been bothered to throw in some solutions, since that's what the franchise demands.
