Today, I speak with author Tracey J. Morgan, known for writing John Candy's autobiography, Search for Candy, as well as The A to Z of Candy and Those Aren't Pillows: A Fan's Guide to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

It's fair to say that Tracey has focused on a niche era in TV and movies, which led us to delve deeply into the intricacies of what made John Candy and the people around him so special. This discussion extended to how an undoubtedly legendary era of comedy would fit into today's society. Don’t worry, this isn’t some right-wing critique of woke culture; it’s a measured discussion. John Candy was a genius, and it’s fantastic that we have heroes like Tracey who go out there, do the research, and document this time in cinema.

I’m going to leave a link to Search for Candy here in case this podcast has piqued your interest: https://amzn.eu/d/aK4gqll

This show is all about having a good rant about something you're passionate about whether it's good or bad. Today's guest is certainly passionate about music and it shows through and through.

I am very happy to welcome to The Biscuit Guy, drum and bass and hip hop vocalist, Ad Dribbz. We talk about his career, his content and how its distribution amongst listeners has changed over the years. From the legendary pirate radio days, to raves, to the Myspace "my 3 favourite songs" days to now, and now in the current everlasting, almost infinite era of accessibility.

Ad also talks to us about how lockdown helped him hone in on a new style of content that has helped him expertly tell his story, to which many of us can find relatable.

Halfway through the show we take a look at your "Rants" What are your pet peeves. Those little things that create atomic amounts of rage in you, that really shouldn't.

Hailing from Niagara, Canada, today's guest is someone that I have wanted to speak to for a long time. I have been following a page on Facebook called Ryan's All Things Geek along with 185,000 other geeks from around the world.

Zeus talks to us about his career as an actor, about how the name change from Ryan to Zeus was an exciting revelation for him as well as how to harmoniously reside over a 100k strong Facebook page.

But mostly, we geek out and slag off gate-keepers or 'Bro-Flakes' who bad mouth people who want to become part of a fanbase of any particular I.P.

This is free-flowing and fun.

What makes a geek a geek? Is it what they watch/play? Is it what fanbase they belong to? Or is it having the ability to just enjoy what they enjoy, carefree?

I have thespian, theatre loving geek and good friend Derek Willis with me to sit and discuss how geeks have taken over the world. Also we mention how media and culture has changed even over the last couple of decades.

We have a few issues to unwind first though. 1. what the heck is a Dr Who? and b. what would our D&D avatars be called and look like?

Love talking geek sh!t on this show, get this episode in you!

From the age of 2 Mike Perkins knew he wanted to become a comic-book artists and by Jove that is what he became! Listen to Mike's story as he discusses the joys of working with some of his comic-book idols coming up and then...he went on to become a comic-book idol himself.

Mike has worked on some of the most iconic IPs of all time including Captain America, Judge Dredd, Carnage, Swamp Thing, Superman and now something very special.

The Bat-Man: First Knight is a limited run of comic-books which takes the caped crusader back into the 1930s Noir era. Imagine Batman fighting a load of wise-guys...well that's what you get here. This book has had a lot of love poured into it. (as Mike will tell you) Included in the book are even some very well known Shrewsbury, UK landmarks too.

Also me and Mike get into a debate about how to pronounce Constantine...Yes I may have attempted to stand my ground with a guy who actually drew the character. Just.....shush ok!

Anyhoo, I won't go on too much, listen to the show, enjoy and maybe give it a little bit of feedback if you enjoyed it.
