What this site needs (or mebbe 2000AD Review could host it) is a 2K related regular podcast.
For the uninitiated, a 'podcast' is basically an mp3 file automatically downloadable to your computer (if you subscribe to the feed) as it becomes available on a particular site.
This idea is relatively new on the web but for instance Comicbookresources is doing one which talks about the latest weeks releases.
The idea is that you can listen to these 'podcasts' on your I-pod/generic mp3 player when you are on the bus etc rather than reading something in front of the computer.
Anyway a 2K one could feature recordings of interviews with creators ( a Grennie one from a bar would be great), also mebbe comic reviews where people phone in a review to a recorded message service that can then be edited down into the 'cast.

Interesting idea. I've got a creator interview which, because I'm transcribing it from two hours worth of tape, is taking bloody ages to write. However, an nicely edited audio version would probably work just as well, or complement the text version nicely.
Don't know how practical it might be to host such a thing though.

Also you could add clips from upcoming Big Finish audios to help promote them ?

Learn yourself some shorthand, buddy ;P
(I would just like to add thta that's the worst example of shorthand I've seen since I last looked at a junior reporters' notepad i.e. about five minutes ago ...)

One of those looks like one of my 'z's...
I don't really see how learning shorthand would help me write something out onto Microsoft Word so that the interviewee can read it, though...

erm.. I've kinda started one - not 2000ad strictly (and not strictly a podcast as I've not set up an RSS feed, etc), just me at my drawing table drawing and yammering. You'll find it at my website.
