From The Wire to Game of Thrones and onwards, social storytelling is the new approach to building worlds and characters, reflecting the vast detail which readers see in their own lives.

This special podcast explores how individualistic styles of yarn-spinning are being replaced by a new realism. Author and social sciences tutor Andy Luke breaks down studies which suggest new opportunities for writers and readers. There are new stories.

Led by Andrew Lincoln, a half dozen recently qualified teachers brave the pupils of Bristol's Summerdown Comprehensive: small beans when compared to their own chaotic lives which are riddled with neuroses.

Celebrating 20 years of Channel 4's fantasy/comedy series the pod has an exclusive interview with series creator Tim Loane. Poet/Cartoonist Andy Luke presents a full course review of kill-marry-shag, donkeys and bowling.

Think you know Baywatch? Lifeguard Mitch Buchannon and P.I. Ryan McBride thought so; but after the sun goes down, they realise Baywatch is a Bermuda Triangle of poltergeists, sorcerers, chaos gods, time portals, and Illuminati agents.

In the first co-hosted Drew and Look Podcast, Andy Luke teams with Ian Lawther, Neill Stringer and Jonny Porter, (from Caroline Comms and Chat Schmat), to investigate the very unexplained world of Baywatch Nights, Season 2.

Working within the system of a devilish law firm, Angel Investigations bites off death in their ranks, a powerful king of demons, the fabrication of reality and the secret society spinning the ongoing apocalypse.

This special Halloween pod looks at the final eight dramatic episodes of Whedon and Greenwalt's Angel Series 5. Writer / cartoonist Andy Luke gets full-on academic, considers heavy moral dilemnas, and plays some Crash Bandicoot.

A group of street level heroes are handed the keys to a law firm which is the earthly embodiment of Hell. Managing Wolfram and Hart poses the heroes new questions: shut everything down, exert their own brand of compromise, or get swallowed by evil incarnate?

Fantasy author Andrew Luke measures the differing approaches of stand-alone against story arc writing in the opening half of Angel series 5, a 'fresh start' show which challenges convention of genre.
