Dear friends,
It’s a rare sunny day here in Bradford after a week of relentless rain and overcast. It feels decidedly autumnal in that crisp, golden-hued fashion.
It’s been a busy week too with some brisk activity in Derry & Toms, although you may not know it as it’s been three and a half weeks since our Letters From Hollywood episode. That’s largely down to external events and me fudging up a recording and having to do some head-scratching regarding ways of rescuing the audio.
And then, after figuring out what to do, realising that it took just ten minutes to correct.
If you know… you know… and if you don’t… you spend many hours thrashing around in the mire.
But at least I know now. I just hope I don’t forget by the time it happens again. Which I probably will.
Anyway, this just means we’ll have a bumper second half of October with three episodes landing between now and Halloween!
In the next day or two… The Phoenix in Obsidian AKA The Silver Warriors (Part One)
Then… CRABS ON THE RAMPAGE
And finally, as selected by the patrons… DOMAIN
As well as getting some podcasts recorded, we’ve had a lovely month in terms of support with new patrons arriving on the Donblas from as far afield as Lithuania, Australia, Finland and Israel.
And our new Patron Demon from Lithuania, Marius, sent me some truly marvellous images of Lithuanian Corum editions.- The Knight of the Swords (translated as Kalavijų Rikis) and the remaining Swords trilogy entries collected as Kalavijų Valdovai (Sword Rulers).
Even better, as well as these striking covers they feature some rather gorgeous internal B&W art…
Thanks for sending those over Marius (and also thanks to Jason Atomic over on Instagram who by some strange coincidence sent some of these the same week).
In other news, Chris AKA Dirk the Dice appeared on our Letters From Hollywood episode and in the outro I mentioned that he had a very special guest lined up for his next instalment of The Grognard Files. That show is now live and it features none other than Mike himself and, as you would expect from that podcast and Chris as a first-rate host and interviewer, it’s excellent. Check it out.
That’s all for now, I’m back to topping and tailing our new episode.
Take care and stay safe pards.
