Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Boy, a Dragon and a World Full of Unexpected Magic ๐Ÿ‰โœจ

A Boy, a Dragon and a World Full of Unexpected Magic ๐Ÿ‰โœจ
Q: What one top tip would you give to someone listening who wants to be a poet?
Keep a notebook or use a phone audio recorder, and remix ideas if you're stuck; write down whatever pops into your head.
A Boy, a Dragon and a World Full of Unexpected Magic ๐Ÿ‰โœจ
Q: You can tell you're a man of words. So why pizza? Why is pizza this big theme for you?
It's about shared, social reading โ€” the idea that poetry can be something you read aloud with friends, not just solo in a quiet room; the pizza motif helps convey that communal, fun spirit.
When Dad Turns Into a Robot and a Dungeon Adventure Begins ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ‰
Q: What are some hidden details or Easter eggs readers should look for?
There are margins filled with extra characters like Brenda, and features like the pirate name generator at the back, plus occasional puns and small, self-referential touches the author embeds for observant readers.
When Dad Turns Into a Robot and a Dungeon Adventure Begins ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ‰
Q: What was the best bit about getting to draw in the book?
The author describes the moment when the little 'bad bots' coalesce into a mega robot, a visually epic sequence that was exciting to stage and draw the first time, especially given it required multiple renderings across panels.
