IMAGINATIONLAND Bad Idea Machine Productions

I'm back from the dead! I'm podcasting in person for the first time! I'm using new software to edit the show!



Here's my discussion with the one and only Frog Person Plus. We talked about visual art and getting started in tattooing. We talked about making weird folk music. We talked about all kinds of good stuff. You'll have to listen to find out more.

Two new episodes in the space of a week??? Don’t get used to it! Here’s my discussion with Abi about Underdark and YURI. We talked about the process of joining a very good black metal band at age 29, co-writing a cyberpunk novel remotely with a friend, and feeling vaguely hopeful about the future. Enjoy.

Surprise, new episode! Here’s my discussion with Kai about Rope, Hunger Artist, and Goodtime Boys. We talked about touring the US, the merits of live recording, European Arts Council funding, and playing riffs in your garage that piss of the neighbours. Enjoy.

This episode was recorded in June. We had a load of technical difficulties at the time so I avoided editing it for over 3 months. It’s done now - I’ll rewrite the description later. Anyway, here’s my discussion with Chris about all things Self Defense Family, Twin Cisterns, Thee Visitors, composing for television, and the Great Outdoors.

James spoke with Charlene Elsby, the hyper-productive Canadian author who only writes books with one word titles (thus destroying this show’s episode-naming convention. They talked about making the most of being forced to change academic disciplines, writing about murder realistically, pumping out books left, right and centre, the difference between Clash Books and Porcupine’s Quill, mutual friends and reference points, and genuinely enjoying television designed to kill as many brain cells as possible.

James spoke to two dudes named Tyler about the JRPG they made together called Shadows of Adam. They talked about life-changing coincidences, game-breaking bugs, surviving Kickstarter, Switch ports & DLC, and playing jazz music for the Navy or some shit. Welcome to GameBoy Summer.
