Dead Men Talk

'Dead Men Talk' comes full-circle with this latest guest, returning to Chris' passion for delving into the 'stories behind the stories'. Harking back to one of the first folk gigs he attended back in 2007, Chris finally gets to talk to one of the musicians and songwriters that spurred his own desire to write.

Having been a TV director, film-maker, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist - and even his time as a university lecturer - Tom Bliss knows a thing or two about the importance of the use of narrative and storytelling in pretty much all walks of life.

In this episode, Tom joins Chris from his Alderney base to discuss how storytelling has shaped most - if not all - things he has done, in particular his years spent as a musician. Tom delves into the inspirations behind just a few of his songs, including 'The Violin', 'Flotsam & Jetsam' and 'Raven Queen'.

After listening to this episode, please do take the time to go and check out Tom's websites to hear more of his music, view his many videos and keep updated with all of the wonderful work he has been - and continues to be - involved in.

Ray Tizzard has worked alongside some of the greats in British comedy and been able to make them laugh, so it is little wonder that this episode turned out to be one of the funniest (and most fun) Chris has done to date!

To many, Ray will be remembered as Joe Pasquale's hapless twin-brother Raynard, who joined him on stage in countless acts of pure comedy genius. Ray was also the hand behind (or beneath!) Larry the Loafer as part of The Brian Conley Show, playing the squeaky sidekick to Conley's Nick Frisbee, calling many a cry of "It's A Puppet!"

Chris not only chats to Ray about his most famous roles but other work he has been involved in (including writing tours for other iconic children's favourites, The Sooty Show and Rainbow!) and a hint at possible projects yet to come!

Don't be a puppet - you simply HAVE to give this one a listen!

In this episode, Chris delves once more into the Devonian talent pool as he welcomes Torbay-based guitarist & singer-songwriter, Robin Hann.

In this episode, Chris welcomes "peanut taxidermist" and toy creator Steve Casino to the show!

As soon as a video of Steve's work landed on Chris' social media news feeds recently, he knew he had to get him on as a guest. Steve is famous for his artwork and has garnered a massive following and national TV exposure in the States. From turning peanuts into well-known characters, to his truly amazing 'pop-out' out on classic games cartridges or even his own fresh take on classic wooden toys, it is safe to say that Steve's talents know no bounds.

We even learn a little more about his 'day job' as a toy inventor, which has even resulted in household-name toys such as Squeakee The Balloon Dog and Hairdorables!

After listening to this episode, you need to check out Steve's work for yourself on his social media pages:

You'd be hard-pushed to find anyone who hasn't at least heard of 'Frankenstein', quite possibly the most well-known gothic horror tale in the world and what is also heralded as the first-ever science fiction story. But how much do you know about the 'story behind the story', and in particular about Mary Shelley herself?

In this episode, Chris has the honour of chatting to Chris Harris and Jonathan Willis, the founders of the all-new immersive experience 'House of Frankenstein', situated in Bath. The first of its kind, 'House of Frankenstein' sheds a whole new light on the classic tale, delving into Mary Shelley's own tragic life and the events that led to her writing the book, as well as celebrating the impact 'Frankenstein' has had on the literary world and pop culture ever since.

Chris and Jonathan discuss the moment which set this project in motion, their own love of 'Frankenstein', their future plans for the attraction and even how they created their own 8-foot version of The Creature, the first time there has been anything like this built using Mary Shelley's own vision!

Guess who's back! 

After something of an extended break, Chris returns with a brand-new episode of Dead Men Talk and with a very, very special guest.

Clare Helen Welsh is one of the most respected children's writers in the South West with hugely popular releases such as 'Poo! Is That You?', 'Wee? It Wasn't Me', 'The Tide' and of course 'Aerodynamics of Biscuits.

Clare pops in to chat about her own writing journey, how it stemmed from her career as a primary school teacher and a particular New Year's goal, and even through to meeting a couple of very Royal guests in Exeter recently!
