This week’s VINTERTIANMENT podcast episode will drop some time this weekend. But in the interim, here’s a few very cool updates that have been happening and keeping us from getting our own podcast done on time.
First up: our own Dave Baxter (me!) guested on someone else’s podcast - THE FANBASE WEEKLY. Alongside host Bryant Dillon and writer extraordinaire Corinna Bechko (The Space Between, Aliens vs. Vampirella, Avatar: Adapt or Die) we discuss Alex Garland’s debut novel THE BEACH on it’s 30th Anniversary.

(Note there is no wine talk in this guest podcast, alas.)

Not final, but playing with our brand aesthetic…
