Pod 189: John Kenneth Muir On Writing

John Kenneth Muir is an expert on Space: 1999 but what does he think of the controversial Year Two? What classic toy has he kept in excellent condition since childhood? How did his early storytelling efforts with an 8mm film camera lead to late nights spent writing Space: 1999 story reviews? These projects would inspire his first non-fiction book "Exploring Space: 1999." A quick primer on what John has learned about the art and the business of writing about film and TV is revealed in this week's interview! Plus, a brainy episode on the Randomiser, a diversified FAB Fact, and missives from the Podsteron family!

Playing Officer Orrin in Gerry Anderson's last live action series 'Space Precinct' clearly wasn't enough to put Richard off the worlds of Gerry Anderson!

As well as co-hosting the Gerry Anderson Podcast and the almost-monthly Facebook, Twitch, Periscope and Youtube broadcast, FabLive, Richard has also taken parts in the audio series 'Terrahawks' and the pilot minisode for the forthcoming 'Gerry Anderson's Firestorm'.
