Hobson & Choi Podcast #5 - Inspiration Gestation Station

This week, Hobson & Choi both take a few steps out of their depth, ending up with them meeting an important new person in an important new place. Meanwhile, my phlegmy cough has entered a particularly annoying phase, leading to a fairly brief outro.

As promised in the show itself, the Twitter username for Daniel Ruiz Tizon is Available is @1607WestEgg. Check out his tweets and podcast.

You can play the episode in the player below, download the MP3 here or subscribe on iTunes to have it thrown at you every week. Or if you hate iTunes on principle, you can point your RSS reader at our Libsyn page to get every episode.

As ever, you can read the prose serial at Jukepop Serials. September ends tomorrow and the charts/votes are tallied, so if you want to vote up a few chapters, I'd be greatly appreciative.

But whatever way you want to experience H&C, that's ultimately fine with me.

Also, we're coming to the end of September, so if you have a second to vote for a few chapters to help us up the Jukepop monthly top 30, all appreciated. Cheers.

Lot of business there, I know. Hope you're all well. I'm excited by all this, I really am.

New TV blog: Dexter finale!

Dexter has finally finished. Sadly, my reaction is mainly relief. Review up now on The Digital Fix.

And yes, I normally review these shows in a different order - I fancied doing Dexter first, plus it seems more newsworthy. Breaking Bad tomorrow.

Hobson & Choi Podcast #4 - Dry Blood

Fourth episode of the podcast! This is definitely happening now. The download figures have picked up this week, I've even had a complimentary tweet about the show, so thanks to all listening. Now, this episode...

Hobson takes over the narration, as he bullies the only available witness through some murderous backstory. Featuring dry blood and a sandwich. Meanwhile, backstage, this week I have a sore throat but still find some authorial insight to lay down.

You can play the episode in the player below, download the MP3 here or subscribe on iTunes to have it thrown at you every week. Or if you hate iTunes on principle, you can point your RSS reader at our Libsyn page to get every episode.

As ever, you can read the prose serial at Jukepop Serials, where the first case has just concluded. All action over there.
