So grab a couple of beers and settle down as we rambled through various topics such as the our favourite fantasy taverns and drinks, Terry Pratchett and Discworld, Paul’s history and fascination with hypnosis from an early age, acting in murder mysteries, and the struggles of marketing creative projects, amongst other things!

Yes, this month being the festive season I thought I’d share my 3 Fantasy Festive Favourites from the world of film.

EPISODE 22: Jamie Treacher​
TV and Film Actor

 Greetings fellow Mythics!

Yes, yes, this is September’s Pubcast! Sorry for the delay but we’re back in a real pub! This pubcast was recorded from The Old Cross Tavern in Hertford, a lovely little pub that’s welcoming and has a real fire!

In this Mythical Tales from Edra: Pubcast episode, I chat with the stage, TV and film actor Jamie Treacher.

In this episode we chat about Jamie’s childhood growing up in the beautiful countryside of Suffolk, what it’s like to have a famous dad, what led him to a career of acting, just what is the story of the Victor’s Ruin, Jamie’s varied acting career, including his appearances on EastEnders, George and the Dragon feature film, Lovejoy and the Need for Speed video game, amongst others. We chat about other things as well, too many to list here. It’s a 2 hour show after all!

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from the Old Cross Tavern in Hertford, the pub that has it all, including a door!

EPISODE 21: Rich Nairn
Illustrator and Caroonist

 Greetings fellow Mythics!

Its’ been a busy month here at Mythical Tales Towers. Both illustrator and cartoonist Rich Nairn and myself have been concentrating on our Story Spark Cards Mythical Creatures Deck Kickstarter campaign and after a relentless publicity drive, the project funded!

So I though it fitting that I chat to Rich about the Story Spark Cards and the Kickstarter, to get his feelings on our joint creative project that’s been a year on and off in the making.

That was my intention but we got a little distracted!

Distracted by ghosts, mediumship, the paranormal and the YouTube channel Nukes’ Top 5s (www.youtube.com/c/NukesTop5)

Settle back with a big mug of tea (or a pint of ale!) as Rich and myself explore the spooky nature of life on the other side (as well as a bit of Story Spark Cards!)

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from The Thorn Inn, where they sell sprints as well as being haunted by them.

EPISODE 20: Sascha Cooper
Creative Entrepreneur

 Greetings fellow Mythics!

It’s been hot! Oh yes, but not as hot as this month’s (well last month’s!) Mythical Tales from Edra: Pubcast as we welcome the multi-talented creative entrepreneur and holistic insightful life coach Sascha Cooper.

But what’s a creative entrepreneur and holistic insightful life coach? I can hear you ask? Well, it does have something to with acting, dance, psychic and mediumship readings, makeovers and coaching sessions.

In this episode we chat about Sascha’s past, what led her to the multi-disciplined creative path she now enjoys and the meaning of life! Not bad, eh, for an hour and a half’s worth of chat.

We also discuss a few of Bighton and Hove’s finer pubs and what just what drinks we’d drink in them.

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from the Caroline of Brunswick in Brighton Pub, the pub that real ale pub with quiz nights, cabaret and stand-up comedy.

EPISODE 19: Story Spark Cards Mythical Creatures Deck

 Greetings fellow Mythics!

This month is a special month for the podcast in a pub: it’s the Story Spark Mythical Creatures Deck special!

Yes, rather than have an interesting and wonderful guest, it’s just me! But I do chat about the fantastic Kickstarter project launching on the 1st of August this year; the Mythical Creatures Deck.

I’ve teamed up with the very talented Rich Nairn to create 50 tarot-sized illustrated cards with Creature Descriptions for Games Masters,Writers, Storytellers, Educators and Lovers of Precious Things!

In this episode, I explore what the cards are, why we’ve created them and examples of them in action. All the sparky fun takes place in the Kraken’s Eye Tavern as I enjoy your company and a pint of Giant’s Toe ale.

EPISODE 18: Gavin Boyter
Author, freelance writer, musician and occasional poet

 Greetings fellow Mythics!

I’ve loved chatting to all my guests over the past seventeen months and I knew at some point I’d like to chat to them again. Well, my wish came true as I chat once more to Gavin Boyter! Yes, this month’s special guest is a writer, a film maker, an ultra-runner, but more importantly he’s still my cousin!

Once again, no actual pubs were visited in the making of this pubcast, although let’s pretend we’re in The Jekyll and Hyde Pub, shall we?

I first met Gavin, unsurprisingly, when we were kids; my family lived in Hertfordshire with his living in Edinburgh. Once a year for a good many a year, I would be excited to travel up on the night coach and spend a week or so visiting all of my Scottish recitatives. Normally we’d spend a day or so with Gavin and his family and I’ve fond memories of jumping off swings in the park, making up silly stories, and generally buffooning around with him, my brother and his sister.

As a kid, you rarely think about what people will be doing in ten, two or even thirty years time or what journey in life they have taken. Gavin has lead an interesting and some would say, unconventional life. He has written and directed a feature film, ‘Sparks and Embers’, and written two published books, ‘Downhill From Here,’ and ‘Running the Orient’.

Gavin’s most recent venture is delving into the varied world of copywriting whilst furiously writing short stories and even a novel.

In this episode we chat about joys and frustrations of creative writing, the publishing business, memories of childhood and his new anthology ‘Running Coyote and Fallen Star: and other stories’.

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from he Jekyll and Hyde Pub, the pub that no one knows exists until you stumble upon it.
you can see from the links below, Gavin’s been a very busy boy:

EPISODE 17: Dane Cobain
Author, freelance writer, musician and occasional poet

Greetings fellow Mythics!

Nearly May and spring has now sprung! We welcome April’s Pubcast guest Dane Cobain into our virtual pub The Rose and Crown.

Dane is a talented author, freelance writer, musician and occasional poet. Having 10 books published to his name, he knows a thing or two about writing and I crack open a pint of cider and let him talk all about his creative history and projects.

​Out of all the guests I’ve shared a pint with (virtual or real!), Dane is the person I know lest about and known for the shortest time. This is partly due to me being lazy with my research but mainly because I met him when I attended a few of his writers’ workshops not too long ago. This led to a lovely chat where surprises about Dane surprised me, as you’d expect them to do!

We chat about his writing history, his influences, his time at university studying creative writing, the business side of writing, his music and lots about stories and his novels.

And of course we play ‘Consider the (Fantasy) Consequences!’ so everyone’s happy.

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from The Rose and Crown, the pub that welcomes everyone, especially dogs...

Once again, no actual pubs were visited in the making of this pubcast…

EPISODE 16: G. Owean Wears
Editor, publisher and writer

Greetings fellow Mythics!

Easter is upon us (at the time of recording) but sadly not a single hot cross bun or chocolate egg was eaten whilst I chatted to the extremely delightful and talented G. Owen Wears, editor, publisher, and writer.

Well known for publishing the Exterus short stories anthology collection, his novels ‘The Pellucid Witch’, ‘The Place of Stars and Bones: A Novel of Weird Fantasy’ and ‘Journeyman in Gray’ (under his pen name Linus de Beville), Owen his just launched ‘NEW EXTERUS - Vol. 1: The Journal of the Speculative, the Fantastic & the Bizarre.’

A few years ago Owen contacted my asking if I’d review the first volume of Exterus for The Bottled Imp YouTube Channel and I said yes! I’m glad I did as the collection was a wonderful mix of pulp fantasy, horror and the bizarre, right up my alley so to speak! Since then Owen has published a further seven collections of which we have reviewed a few more.

So when I was thinking of March’s guest, his name popped into my head and it was the perfect fit. We chatted for over two and a half hours, covering subjects as serious as alcoholism, micro breweries, to fond memories of classic magazines such as Weird Tales, Amazing Stories and Interzone, Owen’s lucky number, Mark Lawrence’s ‘Broken Empire’ series, George R. R. Martin’s ‘Game of Thrones’, his love of comic books, fantasy illustrations and artists, running a publishing company, his inspiration for writing his own fantasy stories, and much, much more – as I say it is two and a half hours of pure entertainment and intrigue!

And of course we play ‘Consider the Fantasy Consequences!’ so everyone’s happy.

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from The Rusty Axe Tavern, the pub where no one can hear you scream...

Once again, no actual pubs were visited in the making of this pubcast…

EPISODE 12: Julian Newman Turner
Photographer and film maker

Greetings fellow Mythics!

Due to UK Lockdown 2.0, no actual pubs were visited in the making of this pubcast, although let’s pretend we’re in The Travellers’ Nook Tavern, shall we?

Massively excited to chat with Julian Newman Turner, photographer and film maker, about his creative journey. You may know him as one half of the fantasy YouTube channel ‘The Bottled Imp’, (I’m the other half, but you probably know that already!) but he is much more, obviously. Starting out as an actor, Julian ran his own theatre company, Big Bubble Productions, before taking up photography and film making (Lucid Dreams Pictures).

In the warmth of The Travellers’ Nook Tavern, we chat about the his acting experiences, running a creative business, making films on a shoestring, and the joy, but also the struggles, of being creative, and Julian’s latest creative venture, the YouTube channel ‘Mindspuke’.

We also discover Julian’s preferences when we play ‘Consider the Fantasy Consequences!’

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from The Travellers’ Nook Tavern, where the beer is warm and the locals are cold!

EPISODE 11: Arthur Kidawa - World of Monsters
Writer, film maker, and host of World of Monsters

Greetings fellow Mythics!

There’s a lot of chat to be had when interviewing engaging guests. So much in fact September’s pubcast is in two parts! Double the fun!

Once again, no actual pubs were visited in the making of this pubcast, although let’s pretend we’re in The Bleeding Badger Tavern, shall we?

Hugely thrilled to invite Arthur Kidawa, the man (or monster?) behind the ‘World of Monsters’ YouTube channel, into our warm and friendly (well, warm at least!) pub as we chat monsters (naturally), creating a YouTube channel, starting a Patreon to share your creations, creating art, travelling the world, and even spirituality!

We also discover Arthur’s preferences when we play ‘Consider the Fantasy Consequences!’

EPISODE 10: Gavin Boyter
Writer, film maker, ultra-runner (and my cousin!)

Greetings fellow Mythics!

We loved the two-part special last month so much we decided to do it again! Well, almost. It wasn’t planned but this month’s special guest and myself rambled on for an age! So, this is Part 1 with Part 2 out soon. Probably by the time you read this.

“Keep it in the family they say,” so I did! This month’s special guest is a writer, a film maker, an ultra-runner, but more importantly he’s my cousin! It’s Gavin Boyter...

Once again, no actual pubs were visited in the making of this pubcast, although let’s pretend we’re in The Rusty Axe Tavern, shall we?

I first met Gavin, unsurprisingly, when we were kids; my family lived in Hertfordshire with his living in Edinburgh. Once a year for a good many a year, I would be excited to travel up on the night coach and spend a week or so visiting all of my Scottish recitatives.

As a kid, you rarely think about what people will be doing in ten, two or even thirty years time or what journey in life they have taken. Gavin has lead an interesting and some would say, unconventional life. He has written and directed a feature film, ‘Sparks and Embers’, written a published book, ‘Downhill From Here,’ and has another one, ‘Running the Orient,’ due out next month (14th August).

As we delved into various subjects such as the nature of creativity, early forays into the film making business, and his failed attempts at writing a novel, I discovered there is a lot more to Gavin than I knew, and we’re family!

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from The Rusty Axe Tavern, the only pub in Ferrum’s Forge to serve Old Giant’s Toe.

As you can see from the links below, Gavin’s been a very busy boy:

EPISODE 9: Sally Straw (with God)
Theology graduate from Leeds University, a religious studies teacher, and a good all rounder

Greetings fellow Mythics!

This time is different. Different from last month’s episode and that was also different!

Special guest Sally Straw and myself made our way to Barden Clumps, a beautiful little bit of woodland, and made it our virtual pub garden for an afternoon. No actual pub gardens were visited in the making of this pubcast.

This month’s show is also different in content. Rather than finding out more about our guest, their creative processes and projects, I thought it was time to chat about a topic I’ve been wanting to delve into for a while: is the Bible a fantasy book?

To guide us through this fascinating topic is someone more qualified to do so than me (not very hard!), is Sally Straw. She is a theology graduate from Leeds University, a religious studies teacher, and a good all rounder. We focus on fantasy creatures of the bible. We’re they really fantasy or real? Or were they just a mistranslation from the original language?

We hope to discover the truth. We don’t find it obviously, as it’s impossible to know, but we did have a jolly interesting fining out while the booze was flowing and the snacks were snacking.

I hope you enjoy this Mythical Tales from Edra episode lovingly recorded from the beautiful Barden Clumps.

EPISODE 8: Olly Mc
Photographer, performer, games designer,
and storyteller

This time it's different. This is the Mythical Tales from Edra Virtual Pubcast: Lock-In Edition! Yes, this edition comes from The Sword & Flagon Inn, but before you say, “How’s that possible?” it's by the magic of the virtual realm. No actual pubs were visited in the making of this pubcast.
We chat (among other things) about Olly’s love of Fighting Fantasy, Legend, Role Playing Games. We also delve deeper into the business side of trying to forge a career as a creative by chatting about Olly’s current card game series, The StoryMaster's Tales Hybrid Roleplaying Game, and his fantasy storytelling theatre based in Rye. All while I get drunk on cider...

EPISODE 5: Kate Miller
Author, playwright, editor, and co-founder
and co-director of Pins and Feathers Theatre
