In which the brilliant James Slater-Murphy and I sit down, pretty much on a whim, to talk about our favourite Bruce Springsteen album, only to back into what we've realised will be a 30-episode deep dive into his studio albums, and selected live performances.

The format is simple; we discuss our initial encounter with the record, then our overall experience, then we go track by track.

It turned out pretty good. We're excited to do more. Hope you dig it.

Our patroen backers will get early access to future episodes:

In which I read two essays from the currently-crowdfunding My Life In Horror Volume II campaign.

The essays cover John Christopher's The Tripods, and ITV's 90's crime show, Cracker. In between, there's a Q&A, where I talk about writing non-fiction, the dangers of notions of 'objectivity', and our seemingly inevitable slide towards authoritarianism.

Enjoy - and if you are reading this before 1st November, be aware that you still have time to back the crowdfunder and bag a limited edition print version, or a discounted ebook. Go get some!

This time out George and I spend some quality time talking about Valve's genre-redefining classic FPS video game, Half-Life. Expect comprehensive spoilers for the plot of the game, and, as ever, huge enthusiasm.

In this classic What The Hell Is Wrong With Us? episode, Geroge Daniel Lea and Kit Power take on not one but two seminal Batman graphic novels - Frank Miller's The Dark Night Returns and Grant Morrisons Arkham Asylum. Expect in-depth discussion and massive spoilers for the texts. Enjoy.

In the second episode of WTHIWWU? George and Kit take on Poppy Z Brite's seminal Extreme Horror masterpiece Exquisite Corpse. CN: Listen to intro for details, but Exquisite Corpse is dark as hell. So. You know. Caution.

In episode 21 of Watching Robocop with Kit Power, I am delighted to be joined by legendary fantasy author RJ Barker. RJ is simply one of my favourite human beings, and in this freewheeling, wide-ranging conversation, topis we alight upon include:

• The gorgeousness of ED209
• The joy of heavy-duty painkillers
• The negative impact of carpets on ED209
• How the gas station attendant is really all of us
• ED209's family life
• Squidgy head man
• The ballad of ED209

And much, much more. Enjoy, and thanks as ever for listening.
