Happy Sunday evening, all. So glad some of you are still here with us on this comic book club journey! We're currently at work on more episodes, should have a new one up today or tomorrow.

Got halfway through it at work today then my headphones died.  Great stuff as always, will finish my listen tomorrow!

[Colin YNWA]

Yep as JayzusB said great stuff as ever. Can't wait for the second half of Thieves World. Will be very interesting to hear what you think as this story arc develops given some of the conversation this time. Avoid any number of threads here mind!

Well finished this one on my run this morning and another fine episode it is too. Interesting to hear Simon say he just wants to crack on and get done. Super excited to hear thoughts as we now head towards the end.

To celebrate I finally took the plunge and made all my bookings to come see you both at Lawless... I mean I might have done that for unrelated just finally want to get to Lawless at last reasons but hey let's not spoil the fun.

Looking forward to seeing the live podcast - I'm very curious who the guest is...

It would not be a con without Content Colin!!

Also good on you for running, glad to keep you company.

Just got through this one too - really enjoyable as always.  And I was never quite comfortable with all the homophobic jibes thrown at Papa Yeltsin.  He was almost certainly based on Uncle Monty from Withnail and I, who was also a sexually-forthright gay character, but Monty was never subjected to all that abuse by the other characters.

Getting ahead of things here, just like Simon so fittingly I guess, but just listened to the lastest episode on the way into work this morning and it covers 'The Chaperone'. As folks who know the story know this one is a beaut. I always forget (and remembering how recently I re-read Dante! Arh my aging noggin) how early the reveal about Arkady is. Been looking forward to this one and the shift in the story it foreshadows.

That can at times rather overshadow what a fun story this is in its own right. So much good stuff backed into this one with great focus on Elena which is always cool.

Great podcast as every the ease and affection between the two of you (assuming 'Illyana' pops in here!) just gives the show such energy and charm.

Only the Tsar's Daughter before we hit Amerika and from there, while there's a way to go the series feels like its charging from big event to big reveal, to big event all the way to the magnificent end. So much fun for folks to cover!

Such cynicism for a classic jungle canyon rope bridge scene!
Love this episode. Skar ridiculously shouting his name like a pokemon. Guys fighting each other on giant prehistoric monsters. Arkady super slimy. That great flashback, and that great reveal - and Edie's reaction to it.

As Colin says, this Podcast is pure joy to listen to. Looking forward to Lawless!
