Panel Borders: Gods and Monsters by Bernie Wrightson and Rebekah Isaacs
Concluding our month of shows about iconoclastic American comic book artists, Alex Fitch talks to a master of horror comics, Bernie Wrightson, and a relative newcomer, Rebekah Isaacs who has made a name for herself in deftly rendered comics in a variety of genres. Alex talks to Bernie about his work on Swamp Thing and Warren Comics’ horror titles in the 1970s, on collaborating with Stephen King and George A. Romero in the 1980 and 90s and more recently working with Steve Niles at IDW on projects such as Dead, She Said, Doc Macabre, The Ghoul and their forthcoming collaboration Frankenstein Alive, alive. Alex and Rebekah chat about her career so far, working on superhero comics like DV8 with Brian Wood, her creator owner project Magus and the horror titles that have made her name, The Twilight Zone and the ongoing Angel and Faith.

Two Hello GoodBye debuts this lunchtime with Tilehurst Childrens Arkestra and Teta Mona performing LIVE & DIRECT!
Formed by five old friends from Reading, Tilehurst Children’s Arkestra have been playing in and around the South East since 2007. Their sound is as equally informed by teenage obsessions with metal, indie rock and rap music as it is by their more mature tastes in krautrock, jazz, and progressive rock – yet their main aim is to produce short, sharp, precise bursts of songs, a far cry from the endless faffing about associated with many of these genres.
December 2011 sees the release of Kopfsalatrock, Tilehurst Children’s Arkestra’s debut album, and it is the very epitome of DIY. The album was engineered, produced, and mixed by the band. They also produced the artwork themselves, funded it’s pressing onto 10 inch vinyl, and are releasing it in conjunction with Reading based label doubledotdash!? – a label that various members of the band have been heavily involved with since it started in 2004.
Potty mouthed perfect pop-punksters! Teta Mona is a side project that recently formed out of 2 London based bands; No Cars (Kyoko and Sachiko) and Screaming Tea Party (Teresa & Nyian). Teta Mona is a brand new project that originally began as a solo act for Teresa (ex STp, New York Howl, the Catcher Nine) but very quickly developed into a full band as the result of a spontaneous jam session that broke out at Scar studio, Camden.

Electric Sheep Podcast: Exploring The Lair of the White Worm
In a panel discussion recorded at The Horse Hospital arts club after a screening of Ken Russell’s lurid Bram Stoker adaptation, The Lair of the White Worm, Mark Pilkington discusses the film with BFI Flipside programmers Vic Pratt and Will Fowler, touching on issues of the legend of the Lambton Worm, titillation in absurdity in British cinema and Russell’s three picture deal with Vestron Pictures in the 1980s.

Second week in a row we focus on literature in Polish Deli. This time we talk to Adam Ziemianin, a Cracow based poet best known for his poems sung by Stare Dobre Malzenstwo.
We talk about Adam’s most recent book ‘Wilcze Podniebienie’ and his first attempts to write novels, rather than poetry. We also discuss his career and beginnings and get a chance to listen to ‘Stare Dobre Malzenstwo’, ‘Wolna Grupa Bukowina’ and Marek Galazka singing our guest’s lyrics. And yes, the surname of our guest being the same as the surname of our host is not just a coincidence, we are family!;-)
There was no sign of the twinkly-eyed ancient, but I saw the quantity surveyor, heading home from work. I accosted him, and told him I had got my lost rag back. I thought he would be pleased, but his eyes filled with tears, and he said:
“What does it profit a man, that he regains his rag but knows not the measure of the quantities he has surveyed?”
And he swept past me, hugging his briefcase to his chest, and trudged away into the salt and sand-strewn streets as night came crashing down.
Film soundtracks, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. Due to popular demand here it is, our Andy Weatherall special from 2010.
‘What a guy, what records!’ said Jonny, who is rarely impressed by anything, which just goes to show what a momentous occasion it was when the producer, musician, DJ and all-round genius paid us a visit. What more needs to be said?
Panel Borders: Tim Sale – Painting Batman and other Heroes
Continuing our month of shows about iconoclastic American comic book artists, in a Q and A recorded at last year’s Thought Bubble festival, Alex Fitch interviews artist Tim Sale about his career from early work like Thieves’ World and Billi 99 to his award winning collaborations with Jeph Loeb on Batman and the Marvel ‘colours’ tetralogy featuring Spider-Man, Daredevil and The Hulk. Alex and Tim also talk about the latter’s work on the TV series Heroes and the continuation of his most recent mini-seires, Captain America: White.
