Alright folks! It's another solo Stacebob episode for you (you can entirely blame Skype for this. The tit!) Tune in as I talk to myself about Doctor Strange and how he's kind of a bellend, how utterly perfect the Hark! A Vagrant comic collections are, why Arrival didn't really work for me but also sort of did, and how I think Charlie Brooker feels about other human people based on the latest series of Black Mirror. There are pretty huge spoilers for all of the above contained within, so cons...

This is it, guys; the big finish! I'm delighted to say that we were joined by the amazing Mike Allred, and despite being over 22 hours in at this point, I didn't make too much of a tit of myself! He shares with us a day in the life of Mike Allred, as well as discussing Silver Surfer, iZombie, inking and loads more besides.

SPCP Live 2 Part 9: Mystery Dildo

July 31, 2016 18:30 - 2 hours - 121 MB

We've gotten to the part of the 24hr podcast where Barry & I have given up on any semblence of podcast-hosting professionalism, leading to two very different but equally interesting guest appearances. Firstly, David Wynne (tip-top comicking guy) and Barry almost come to blows over which bit of London is better despite neither of them living there anymore, before we find out what's cheesing David in the comic world. Then we have Jennie Gyllblad (bonkers brilliant artist lady) and Lee Grice (bo...

This episode, Barry and I are joined firstly by Nick Papaconstantinou & James Gillie of the 2 Grown Men podcast. Despite a small meltdown at the start, we get cracking on talking about even more TV shows I haven't seen, how there are no good Staceys in pop culture, Thought Bubble comic con adventures and more! We...

SPCP Live 2 Part 7: Daunted By All People

July 27, 2016 16:58 - 1 hour - 105 MB

We're getting post-watershed up in here with the utterly delightful Bevis Musson & Leigh Gallagher! Sadly it's been a while since I listened to this to edit it, so I can't remember who we talked to about what (except the swingers cruise, that was definitely Leigh), but there's loads of great chat in here. We discuss podcast etiquette, floating King heads, ET, being brave around burglars, self criticism, getting poked in the eye and loads more! (I wrote down 'CCBB' but I can't remember for the...

Alright folks, want some more live podcast fun times?! (I don't really care what your answer was there, because you're getting it either way!) This episode starts with an hour of Barry and I talking nonsense when a guest misses their slot (oops!); we divulge our favourite chocolate bars, what we think about comic conventions in the UK, whether Frankenstein is a monster or a zombie, and loads more. I also manage to fudge up the time difference between us here in the UK and guests in the US, an...

Following Sarah is the wonderful comic-type Rachael Stott (although she sometimes sounds like she's underwater, she's still very worth listening to!) talking Doctor Who, Star Trek, sisters and more! Please note that th...

SPCP Live 2 Part 3: Friday O'Clock Live!

July 19, 2016 17:29 - 1 hour - 109 MB

It's time for another slice of fried gold from the live broadcast! This episode sees Barry and I joined by returning guest, top notch actor and all-round awesome fellow Peter Spellos, and we get down to the nitty gritty of all things nerdy. We discuss Peter's improv classes (and why I should probably take them), Batman vs Superman, Lois & Clark, the DC CW shows and loads more! Following that, a wild Sarah Millman appears!

It's time for the second part of our 24hr charity extravaganza! This time, Barry & I are joined firstly by lovely webcomicker and jolly spiffing lady, Sian Jefferson. We do a terrible job of properly interviewing her and end up talking mostly about cats... Following Sian we have writer and artist Nigel Auchterlounie (I am still marvelling at that wonderful surname) talking politics, comics and loads more! Enjoy, and don't forget to show your appreciation with a donation to Alzheimer's Societ...

July 15, 2016 17:31 - 1 hour - 103 MB

It's been almost a week since the epic fun time that was Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour: Live 2 (officially Episode 53, because I say so), so it's about time I started dropping some of the bonkers brilliance into your earholes! This first installment kicks off the show, including a terrbile quality version of the first 4 and a half minutes that were never aired, crudely ripped from a Periscope video by playing said video straight into my mic and recording it! Yes, I have been podcasting for a...

Cor, look, a lovely jubbly bonus episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! 'What's this all about then?' I hear you ask, and I will tell you; I got the opportunity to speak to someone who created something that has been a HUGE part of my life. The TMNT have been there for basically my whole nerd life, and I love them to bits, so imagine my insane excitement and sheer terror at bagging an interview with none other than Kevin Eastman! Listen in as I make some feeble attempts at appearing cool, ...

Episode 51: The Ton Of Som Hanks

May 24, 2016 20:38 - 1 hour - 107 MB

Welcome one and all to Episode 51 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! Joining Stacey in The Parlour for a spot of booze and chinwagging is her good friend, telly extra and music making guy, Neil Morris! Neil and Stacey seem to suffer from tangent-itis this episode, as their chats on Captain America: Civil War, Jungle Book and Bad Neighbours 2 somehow end up being about asking stupid questions, not fitting TV audition briefs even though you clearly do and accidentally poking your eye til it spar...

Podcast In A Half Shell - Episode 11: That's Just Fish Dirt

May 14, 2016 11:54 - 1 hour - 86.2 MB

After having run out of films to talk about, Duncan and I have turned to the 90's Image comic run for this episode of Podcast In A Half Shell! Hear what we think about the 'extreme' nature of the stories, Raph's facial disfigurement, Donnie's death (again), being a Level 7 ninja, scantily clad lady ninjas, whether athleticism and large boobs can coexist and much more! All this, plus I watch an episode of Next Mutation and instantly regret it. Enjoy!

Bonus(ish): Solo Bolo Part 2: Ray Gunn And Starburst Edition

April 25, 2016 19:49 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MB

Hi all! So, I released Episode 50 a little early to make way for a Ray Gunn And Starburst Super Big Announcement Special featuring Holly Rose (creator of RGaS and voice of S.U.I.T), Ian Sharman (producer and voice of Castelan Lar), Dominic Westerland (Ray) and Georgia Humphrey (Starburst), and then the internet ate it. Or my laptop ate it. Someone ate it, and it certainly wasn't me. So instead, have this short but sweet snippet of me discussing Ray Gunn and Starburst (and why you should sup...

Episode 50: The Biscuit Run

April 09, 2016 12:05 - 1 hour - 87.6 MB

In a bid to do something special for this, The Parlour's 50th episode, Stacey, Duncan & Rich got super, SUPER drunk and talked mostly about Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. We're sorry...

Welcome, ladies and gents, to the 10th episode of the best podcast about ninja turtles recorded in a kitchen in Birmingham, Podcast In A Half Shell! This episode, Duncan and I sink our teeth into the mildly disappointing second installment of the TMNT live action movies; Secret of The Ooze!

February 20, 2016 16:57 - 1 hour - 90.7 MB

Guess what, guys?! It's The Parlour's 4th birthday! Well, it was yesterday, but close enough... Anyhoops, to celebrate this momentous occasion, Stacey is joined by not one but two lovely guests; fellow UK Podcast Awards Nominees Nick and James of the 2 Grown Men podcast! Things get weird in this one as the trio of podcast hosts seem to lose all ability to host a podcast or stay on topic at all...

Episode 47: You're Not Leonardo Di Caprio

January 27, 2016 20:21 - 1 hour - 79.7 MB

You guys, I am so sorry for this episode! I'll explain more at the start of the show itself but basically this episode can be classed as a Technological NIGHTMARE. The sound quality is really bad and nothing I tried could save it. And then I got too tired/cross/sad to try anything else or re-record it. So, if you make it to the end of this episode, I owe you a cookie.* This episode sees Rich return to The Parlour to talk The Revenant, The Hateful Eight, The Peanuts Movie, The Voices and other...

Podcast In A Half Shell - Episode 9: Happy Oldness To Us!

January 12, 2016 17:26 - 1 hour - 65.9 MB

Welcome one and all to Podcast In A Half Shell; the podcast you come to when you want to hear two muppets talking mostly about the Ninja Turtles and partially about anything that happens to pop into their noggins!  On this episode, it's the day before Duncan's birthday and he and I make a very unprepared attempt at reviewing Series 1 of the 1987 TMNT cartoon! I do a pretty good job at not dropping names too much (have I mentioned before that I met Townsend Coleman once?!) as we both fumble o...

Podcast In A Half Shell - Episode 8: It's Pickled Cabbage...

November 08, 2015 15:48 - 1 hour - 65.4 MB

Major league butt-kicking is back in town (again) as Duncan and I make an attempt to review 2009's feature length 25th anniversary special, Turtles Forever! As it turns out, I'm much more precious about the 80's TMNT than I thought, Duncan is much more precious about the 2003 series than he thought, and we both suck at voice acting... On top of all this, we weigh up the pros and cons of sauerkraut on pizza, get distracted by unnecessary Shredder crotch shots, and go on tangents galore due to...
