Digital Gonzo 159: The Making of The Cartographer’s Handbook [Part 2]
Part 2 of the in-depth character study. Find out secrets behind the names, the motivations of General Curtis, President Grant and Director Arlington, the nerve-wracking prospect of including real life historical figures alongside fictional characters alongside more voice direction and some rather hilarious outtakes. My guests again are are Laureta Sela: voice of Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke and in this production, Maggie...

Digital Gonzo 159: The Making of The Cartographer’s Handbook [Part 1]
I would say listen to the audio drama first, but I have a feeling that if more people listen to this enthusiastic and in-depth character discussion in the traditional Gonzo round-table style then The Cartographer’s Handbook will inevitably get a lot more talkative fans. So my advice is listen to this, spoilers and all, until you are truly tantalized, and champing at the bit to get stuck in to the audio drama itself. Honestly and...
Digital Gonzo 158: The Legend of Korra – Book 2: Spirits
This is the sixth Gonzo Avatar podcast. Previous episodes include…. 1. The Last Airbender 2. The Legend of Aang: Water 3. The Legend of Aang: Earth 4. The Legend of Aang: Fire 5. The Legend of Korra: Air We cover the divisive second season of one of the most talked about and exceptional animated shows ever created. This time round the Miyazaki influence is even more prominent, the animation veers from a little bit sloppy to more...
Digital Gonzo 157: Alex’s First Book
This is going to be a short and sweet episode with one firm remit. To get the word out about my first novel, newly released on Kindle this week. It’s entitled; The Cartographer’s Handbook, and I’m hoping, with this podcast to drum up a fever of interest in both the book itself and the upcoming audio drama, which will be available through the Gonzo Planet website on December 9th 2013. If you don’t want to know anything about the plot...
Digital Gonzo 156: Thor: The Dark World
Back with Avengers Phase 2, we have the second film in the series. This time, freed of his origin and following the events of the Avengers crossover, Thor is off on a world-spanning adventure to prevent some dark elf or other from bringing the universe to darkness and blah blah blah. The plot was surprisingly unimportant to the grander scheme of things. It’s just a series of visually stunning events conveyed with flair and...
Digital Gonzo 155: Lou Reads the Internet
Couple of weeks ago after becoming fascinated by the broader concepts of the Fan Response show and looking for a more anthropological approach to studying online human behaviour I came across a podcast called Lou Reads the Internet. On this podcast which has run for over 120 episodes since March 2009, host Lou Fernandez simply reads aloud, almost always from forums, almost always the words of people who have… special interests. Now...
Digital Gonzo 154: Iron Man 3
After the deeply satisfying climax of Phase One, we are back to kick off Phase Two, starting here with this year’s Iron Man 3, followed next week by Thor: The Dark World, out in theaters now. Next year we’ll be back with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, then Guardians of the Galaxy and finally in 2015; Avengers: Age of Ultron. Back from the Phase One I am joined tonight by members of my original team; Neil Taylor and Jerome...
Digital Gonzo 153: Ghostwatch
To celebrate Halloween this year we’ve gone back to one of the scariest memories for many British thirtysomethings. Screened only once on Halloween in 1992 and billed as a live broadcast from the most haunted house in England. This documentary frightened the nation witless, garnering the BBC 30,000 complaint phone calls. 21 years on after only having seen it once in between the years, sometime around 2002 when it was finally released...
Digital Gonzo 152: Ghostbusters II
This week we’re back busting ghosts and investigating paranormal disturbances of all kinds. The majority of the show is spent discussing Ghostbusters II, the 1989 sequel that despite studio pressure, editing strife, shifting release dates, unhappy cast and crew, lukewarm reception and relative obscurity still manages to not be a terrible follow-up to one of the greatest comedies of all time. Also up for debate are The Real...
Digital Gonzo 151: Ghostbusters
Welcome to the movie that started it all… for me anyway. Ghostbusters was the first trip to the cinema for me, aged four. In effect, considering our twelve inch, wooden, push-button telly, it was the first experience that made me understand what a film could be. And what a way to start a lifetime of being besotted with this medium. It has everything a young lad could want; eye-popping effects, hilarious dialogue from a really...
