This week Gary and I discuss, among a handful of select boutique subjects influence, copyright, and the current discussion over the World Fantasy Awards.  As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast. See you next week!

With the holiday season upon us, Gary and I invited novelist, comics and TV writer (notably for Doctor Who and Action Comics) and long time podcast listener Paul Cornell to join us on the podcast to discuss all sorts of interesting things in what proved to be a very enjoyable conversation. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast and will see you again next week!

With many thanks to young Sophie for joining us last week, Gary and I fired up our microphones and chatted about a veritable miscellany of SFnal stuff, including audiobooks, recommended reading, and such.  As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast. If all goes to plan, we’ll be back next week with Paul Cornell.

NB: My apologies for a technical hitch about an hour into the recording.  You’ll know it when you get to it.

This week Gary and I decided to vary things a little, inviting my ten-year-old daughter Sophie to join us to discuss a younger reader’s view on story, character and such. It makes for a very different Coode Street podcast, but we hope you’ll enjoy it, as always. Normal programming will resume next week!

Things are still a little wobbly because jetlag and such, but Gary and I fired up Skype this morning and spent some time talking about the ways information gets used online, the SF Encyclopedia, when it’s a good time to do a “Best of” collection and I spent a little time raving about Patrick Ness’s  A Monster Calls.  As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!

Note: If you have subscribed to The Coode Street Podcast via iTunes we’d like to encourage you to swap from our old link to the new official Podbean-hosted The Coode Street Podcast link. I’ve been cross-posting over the past few months, but plan to discontinue that and only post to the Podbean link in the next few weeks.
