Pod 130: Matthew Sweet Reflects on UFO and Space 1999


Listen Later

From the sublime to the ridiculous... This week's Pod has it all! On the sublime side, Dr. Matthew Sweet is a writer, journalist, broadcaster, and sci-fi fan who interviewed Gerry Anderson multiple times. His keen insights into the classic series– as well as his memories of the difficulties of developing Thunderbirds projects for Gerry– are not to be missed! On the the other side of the spectrum, Chris Dale has an uninvited guest in the Randomiser. Plus FAB Facts, newsy news, and a selection of communications from the Gerry Anderson community!
