You're taller than you sound!

You're taller than you sound!

We've sometimes joked about doing a 'Round The Archives' convention, possibly involving lugging our tatty old sofa on stage at some far-flung hotel.

But the logistics of this are very much the stuff of fantasy, so if the sofa can't come to you, you have to come to the sofa.

Thus we were very happy to welcome Andy Priestner to 'RTA' Towers last night, where we spent some quality time having fish & chips and white wine. Plus somehow managing to record some material for a future episode.

We'll not give too much away here (after all, we must preserve our air of pure mystery), but even I was somewhat surprised that we had more indirect connections that either of us knew, having both attended the Exo-Space conventions at the very start of the 1990s.

Andy finds himself in all sorts of exotic places from time to time, but when his work brough t him to Bournemouth, we could hardly pass up the opportunity to meet up. Though his first words to me mostly involved his surprise that I was taller then he imagined. Mind you, Lisa is always telling me to sit up straight in our videos, so it's understandable...

A fine time was had by all - it would have been awkward if we suddenly found we didn't get on in real life - and we think you'll be entertained by the chat we had.

Andy's latest podcast (Episode 10 of 'World Enough And Time') concerns 'The Stones Of Blood' and can be heard here.

In short, any podcast which features two people bellowing 'ODILE DICKS-MIREAUX!!!' to each other is alright in my book!

Andy can be heard talking about 'Secret Army' on Episode 25 of 'Round The Archives' here.

His piece on 'Maelstrom' is on Episode 27, which can be heard here.
