Beth Crane

This week, instead of an interview, we're bringing you the Audio Drama panel from this year's PodUK!  Hosted by Ella Watts, and featuring David K Barnes, Matthew McClean, Beth Crane, David Deverux, Chris Sugden & Zachary Fortais-Gomm, this panel was absolutely one of the highlights of PodUK, and we're glad to finally be able to bring it to you all! Tickets for 2020 are now available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/poduk-2020-tickets-61645705966 Our theme music was by the (featured in this panel!) wonderful David Devereux!

This week Mike’s chat with Beth Crane continues; where they talk about the incredible sci-fi audio drama We Fix Space Junk as Beth is the co-creator, writer and voice of Kilner (Hedley Knights, the other co-creator & sound engineer is also present but this chat primarily focuses on Beth). This week is part 2 of their chat and it starts with Beth talking about the future of WFSJ potentially delving into other mediums, the other podcast Beth is working on, the importance of not undervaluing your impact on other people, the unexpected costs of podcasting, some future WFSJ products (including a potential board game), why collaboration is essential for podcasters, how being positive can have incredible ripple effects on others you interact with, the lore/universe of WFSJ, Beth’s favourite author and so much more! In part 1 of their chat, a great many things were discussed, including Beth & Hedley’s new voice modulator they used in their February live show, why Beth decided to pursue a degree in scriptwriting, the scheduling of We Fix Space Junk, the community of the podcasting world, joke censorship & “reading a room”, why one should always be keen to learn and the varying interpretations of art, they then proceed to talk about Marilyn’s Diary (the WFSJ mini-series) before finishing off by discussing Beth & Hedley’s favourite characters from WFSJ and Beth’s brief involvement with the Harry Potter films! The WFSJ novella, Automnicon: The Intern was discussed in this podcast and is available in the usual eBook places as well as Battlebird Productions! If you want to hear Hedley Knights talk about WFPJ (primarily the sound engineering & music side) as well as social issues, his music taste & much more, be sure to check out episode #40 of GCC! In the last episode of GCC, Mike was joined by Alton Wheelhouse, the creator & lead architect of the upcoming tabletop RPG game Dimensions, in their chat they discuss a wide variety of things including Alton’s beginnings in the tabletop RPG realm, why he’s decided to create a new role playing game (similar in style to Dungeons & Dragons in many respects), the appeal of easter eggs in games (along with hints of how to find them in Dimensions), what the appeal of video games & tabletop RPG games are to people, some of the features that makes Dimensions different from other RPGs, how video games & RPGs can help bring people together, the impact games can have on anxieties & mental illnesses, Alton’s biggest challenge creating Dimensions and so much more so be sure to check it out!
