We chat with fantasy and sci-fi author Neil Williamson about genre blurring. He reads us a short story that evokes the spirit of Glasgow and we discuss the pros and cons of indy publishing vs mainstream. And we get a tease of his upcoming novel.

Hal Duncan - author of Vellum, Ink, Testament, and the Scruffians series - reads from some of his latest work! We talk about his early days writing SF in Glasgow, the importance of writing circles, anarcho-socialist influences from the Borribles, his upcoming work, and the worst (and best) ever critique he's received.
