OST 17.09.2011 – John Flannery

This weekly programme is dedicated to film music, TV music, library music and related recordings, and is hosted by Jonny Trunk. Today on the OST Show he’s joined by John Flannery, member of the test card circle. We’ve been waiting an age to get one of the test card enthusiasts on the show, and were thrilled to have John join us. Expect two hours of classic TV interludes and more besides.

We’d also like to apologise for the extreme slackness of uploading fresh OST podcasts in the last month or two. This is because it’s normally left to Robin The Fog to sort it out, and frankly of late he hasn’t been cutting the mustard. However, with a quiet word and a punch in the chops, normal service looks set to be resumed. Look out for veritable cavalcade of new and old OST podcasts coming very soon! We faithfully promise…

Reality Check: Autumn Sci-Fi – Source Code and Witch Mountain

Reality Check: Autumn Sci-Fi – Source Code and Witch Mountain

As the Autumn nights start to draw in, we have a couple of recommendations of DVDs worth staying in for, as Alex Fitch interviews a pair of directors who have both earned cult followings for their work in the SF genre. Duncan Jones talks about his new film Source Code, a time travel thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and about how themes in his new movie consciously and unconsciously reflect some of his concerns of humanity dislocated by technology in his debut Moon. Alex also chats, alongside SCI-FI-LONDON’s newest interviewer Lily Savy-Gorman, to John Hough, director of the classic Disney film Escape to Witch Mountain (1975), starring Ray Milland and Donald Pleasance. Hough followed his first family film with a couple more for Disney – Return from Witch Mountain and The Watcher in the Woods – and talks about how the company’s approach to live-action filmmaking has changed over the years.

Panel Borders: Exploring War in popular comics

Panel Borders: Exploring War in popular comics

Continuing our month of shows about war comics, Panel Borders is pleased to present a selection of interviews recorded at the launch of “Draw your Weapons – the art of Commando comics”, a new exhibition at the National Army Museum in Chelsea, as Alex Fitch talks to curator Robert Fleming, current Commando editor Calum Laird, and former editor George Low about the history of the comic and the art on display at the museum. Also in another recording taken from last month’s ‘Comics and conflicts’ festival at the Imperial War Museum, Roger Sabin and Martin Baker give a presentation about the depiction of the Iraq war and PTSD in the US comic strip Doonesbury.

Please note: Martin and Roger’s presentation contains strong language and challenging ideas, so we recommend younger listeners (or parents who share the podcast with younger listeners) stop playback of the podcast after the Commando interviews.
