An car crash of an interview on the JR podcast -plan was to promote 'The Turd Prophecy', but podcasting is never straightforward.
I was lucky enough to be interviewed on the Jay Ryan podcast to promote 'The Turd Prophecy'. It all went wrong, but that's podcasting for ya. On the plus side Chapter 6 of 'Nancy Goodaim, Space Ranger' is out this week ...it's a contrast to the first five with only half the protagonists making it out the other side.
If ya want to give the Turd a go it's in episodic or one big download format on here -I promise you'll never have heard anything like it, and also that you'll laugh.

Nobody would have believed that in the last years of the twentieth century our human affairs were being watched form the timeless worlds of space. Few people would have considered the possibility of a vicious extraterrestrial invasion force arriving into our solar system. Or that it would be defeated by six crusties in a Ford Transit.
But such is the way of the Universe.
Here is their story...
One minute intro to The Third Prophecy of Hybobolus Clune
Kaisen Shimasen. Every Zardonian knows the words, but no Zardonian can say what they mean. The two word automated message became the last transmission from a missing flagship. They have been carved into a monument outside Zardonian spacefleet headquarters, to preserve the enigma.
A science fiction adventure in 19 parts set in the Irish rave scene of the 1990’s (between County Sligo, and outer space). The plot has a group of friends return from an outdoor party to watch the president’s address scene from the alien invasion film ‘Independence Day’. They manage to confuse the scene with reality, and set out to help save humanity -only to find themselves in the middle of a separate, and real, extraterrestrial invasion.
One minute of sound to let ye know what's in store...
