Talking Codswallop

150. David Leach

This week Gemma sits down with cartoonist, writer and editor Mr David Leach.

We discuss David's expansive career in the world of comics; from his first job working alongside Bob Godfrey as Ghost drawer on Henry's Cat, Oink where Psycho Gran was first created, working at Marvel US + UK to his current role working as the Senior Creative Editor at Titan Comics. This man has had an incredible journey.

In his spare time, David writes and draws his own comic books. The first Psycho Gran appears in two of her own comic titles published by Dead Universe Comics and also in David Lloyd's digital comic Aces Weekly. The second title is David Leach Conquers The Universe, David’s autobiographical comic, which is also published by Dead Universe Comics. Issue #3 is due out in 2021.

We also find out what San Diego Comic-Con is like, compared to the UK comic con's. I've not even touched upon all of the stuff we discussed, so warm up those ear buds and get listening.

149. Julie Sursok

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

This week we return with an awesome interview which will make you laugh your blooming socks off. James and Gemma sit down with author and incredible lady; Julie Sursok. We find out about her book; "I'm Now Called a Senior WTF", her life, her choices for moving from South Africa to Australia and much more. 

Julie is a very funny lady and her book reflects her comical and amazing humour, but it is also very heart-felt and honest commentary on senior life, you will feel quite at home (no matter how old you are). Gemma highly recommends this book and as we all know she doesn't often read, but she enjoyed it so much, she couldn't put it down.

140. Halloween 2020

From the brain child of Gemma; we bring to you our 2020 Halloween episode. 

Taken from news stories from all around the world, Gemma and James sit around a campfire to tell the Spookiest of Stories... because they are real life stories.

Ouija boards sold in Poundland, Corona Virus masks, incorrectly buried pets, crying dolls and many more stories to put a chill down your spine. OK! I'll be honest, this episode is more funny than scary, the scariest thing is the spelling in the newspaper articles. But, does that put you off? It shouldn't. 

Sit back, relax and let James and Gemma get you in the Halloween spirit.
