The Bike Show: Inventing the perfect folding bicycle

The latest on moves by the London Assembly to reduce the dangers posed by lorries to cyclists. Plus an extended talk by Andrew Ritchey, inventor of the Brompton, the folding miracle that is the toast of London’s bicycle-train commuters. The talk was given over the summer at the iFest 08 in Barcelona. It tells the story of how an idea became a commercial success, largely through the vision and determination of one man. This is the last in the current season. The Bike Show will return in early 2009.

Panel Borders: Eddie Campbell – The art of the raconteur

Panel Borders: Eddie Campbell – The art of the raconteur
Exclusive podcast to compliment the Resonance FM radio show, Strip!

In the second of four podcasts about comic book artist Eddie Campbell, Alex Fitch introduces a monologue by the artist in which Eddie tells the tale of his long suffering typesetter Mick Evans who has cameoed in a variety of his comics. Later in the show, Alex talks to Eddie about the nature of the artist’s role as a raconteur in titles such as Alec and Bacchus. Please note, we apologise if it is difficult to hear this recording – there is a lot of very loud background chatter, so it may be occasionally difficult to hear the interview. There will be a transcript forthcoming to help listeners follow the conversation.
