We discuss the mutations of The Stand, from the graphic novels to the miniseries and touching on the forthcoming The End of the World as We Know It, a collection of short stories set in the world of Captain Trips with contributions from past guests including Paul Tremblay and Richard Chizmar. Plus, in-depth discussion of Nick Andros and Mother Abigial. Andy's work can be found here, and the Tumbler's Willy Podcast can be found here. Also, previous guest N P Cunniffe's book The Weejee man can be found here. and is well worth a look... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theconstantreaderpodcast/message

Best Pick with Tom Salinsky and special guest Andy Stanton Episode 308. Star Trek The Next Generation: Tapestry Released 3 April 2024 “Tapestry” is the 15th episode in TNG's excellent sixth season, featuring recurring character Q, first introduced in the pilot episode. It was written by Ronald Moore, directed by Les Landau and first shown on 15 February 1993. Continuing our short season of episodes looking at Star Trek, to promote Tom's new book Star Trek Discovering the TV Series, which is out now from all the usual places, including… From the publisher https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Star-Trek-Discovering-the-TV-Series-Hardback/p/49373 UK Amazon https://amzn.to/3IG5N9L US Amazon https://a.co/d/27aO9tZ UK bookstore https://www.waterstones.com/book/star-trek-discovering-the-tv-series/tom-salinsky/9781399035040 US bookstore https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/star-trek-tom-salinsky/1144095002?ean=9781399035040 To send in your questions, comments, thoughts and ideas, you can join our Facebook group, Tweet us on @bestpickpod or email us on bestpickpod@gmail.com.

We're back (again) after a long hiatus, but what a return. One of the most listened to episodes of this podcast were the two-part epic discussions between me and Andy Stanton a few years ago. We both kicked around the idea of a rematch, and what other book could we cover but the 1990 edition of Stephen King's The Stand? Whilst other podcasts displayed depressingly lateral thinking of covering the book during the COVID 19 outbreak, Andy and i took the high ground. As you will hear, Andy has lived with The Stand in his head and his heart for most of his life, and he brings his blend of wit, insight and passion to this talk. Unsurprisingly, it was too much to fit in one episode, so this is just the first part of our conversation, stay tuned for part two in a few months' time. We also discuss Andy's new book, Benny the Blue Whale. A meditation on AI and the creative process, it is well worth a look. Naturally, it also contains a few references to Stephen King. Next month we talk to NP Cunniffe about Pet Sematary: Bloodlines and his new book, the Irish folk horror tale, The Wee Gee Man. Thanks to Stephen L Parkes for tech, as always.

On the podcast: Anshel Pfeffer writes The Spectator's cover story this week. He voices concern that support from Israel's allies might begin to waver if they don't develop a viable plan after the war finishes.

It has a fascinating inception and was co-authored by the machine learning tool ChatGPT. Andy is joined by crime author Ajay Chowdhury, who is also known for using AI as a writing tool, to discuss whether AI is the future of fiction. (23:02) And finally: when is it acceptable to date a widower? This is the question that Elisa Segrave ponders in her piece in the magazine. She says that recently bereaved men are much sought after, and joins the podcast alongside Cosmo Landesman, journalist and former dating columnist for the Times.

Well... there's a lot of talk about whether it's right or wrong to use AI to write your book for you. But that's not what this episode is about really.  I mean, we touch on that and discuss it. You can't just ignore the moral questions, can you? But we mostly have a natter with Andy Stanton. An author of some repute. He's written a new book, using ChatGPT, but perhaps not quite as you would imagine. Benny The Blue Whale is a journey through the workings of the mind of a genius writer, and through the "mind" of ChatGPT. https://oneworld-publications.com/work/benny-the-blue-whale/ Episode cover image created using https://hotpot.ai/

Grandma tells Emily how wonderful the world was around her when she was a child. She is sad it's not like that anymore. But Emily shows her that it is…

This time out, we talk about Andy Stanton working with AI on his next book - and discuss whether that's a bit naughty of him or not. We also take a look at some work-in-progress that listener AB Finlayson was kind enough to share with us. And sandwiched between all that quality content, is a rather lovely interview with author (and self-confessed writing addict) Kasim Ali. Here's some links for ya... https://www.juskasim.com/ https://www.thebookseller.com/rights/oneworld-signs-stantons-chatgpt-inspired-adult-debut https://abfinlayson.com/ BUY ONE OF HIS BOOKS RIGHT NOW, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. https://www.amazon.co.uk/A.B.-Finlayson/e/B08SHPR11G%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share

"When I Was a Child" brings together two mega talents in children's books - Andy Stanton, the bestselling author of Mr Gum, and David Litchfield, the award-winning creator of The Bear and The Piano. The simple message of the books is that one is never too old to continue seeing the magic in the world and that children are the best people to remind grown-ups that magic really does exist everywhere you look. In this case through the eyes of a grandchild/grandparent relationship. Talking to elders and hearing their memories is so important for children in building a sense of their own identity and developing empathy, and this book captures those "when I was your age" conversations beautifully – and could also prompt sharing many more.   Make a list of the rhymes and near rhymes heard in the poem. What is the name of the grand-daughter? Why do you think the colours did not fade? What might the world have looked like if if was a 'crystal jewel'? How or why might a river grow 'tired'? Why do you think the grandma can't see the magic but the grand-daughter can?    

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner, and I am your every-other-weekly host for this particular week's episode of "Succotash" that happens to be #308… welcome to it! Last week in Epi307, my co-host and your every-other-show-host Marc Hershon, who is also the executive producer of Succotash these 11+ years, dipped into the archive to revisit, indeed re-broadcast, Episode 88 of Succotash when it was still called Succotash, The Comedy Podcast Podcast, and yours truly was still the associate producer sending in 3 or so clips an episode to help total an average of six. That was what it was like listening to Succotash in 2014 and you should know that the clips contained in that episode were from the soundcasts Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, ( the premiere episode, I should add…), John Dredge's Nothing To Do With Anything Show, The Jockularity Show, Geeks with Wives & Capes, The Crunch Time Show, What a Pair of Trousers!, Old Enough To Know Better, Like I'm An Idiot, and Picnic Time Podcast. That makes NINE podcast clips…10 if you count the snippet of Chillpak Hollywood Hour… and why wouldn't you? That episode also had 2 full "Bursts O' Durst" from Raging Moderate Will Durst for good measure… oh, and also a Henderson's Pants ad … "Air-Cooled Culottes" I believe… You can find that episode in episode #307 as previously stated, or you can go to the show archive at www.succotashshow.com and find it in it's original form between episodes 87.5 and 89. This week, I've got a show of firsts for you. Three of them. Three clips, each from a debut episode of a soundcast. The clips are from the shows The Tumbler's Willy Podcast, No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy, and Just Say Julie. I also have an ad from our longtime Fake Sponsor Henderson's Pants for their patented Sleepover Slax. All right, without further delay, let's get to the clips! CLIPS The Tumbler's Willy Podcast Tumbler's Willy is the longest-running TV drama in the world - so how come you've never heard of it until now? Maybe you're a cultural sloth, or perhaps you've just been busy chasing your dreams. Whatever, now's your chance to discover what you've been missing for the last 120 years. Join American sitcom writer Andy Bobrow and UK children's author Andy Stanton as they take a deep and incredibly dumb dive into this most British-est of shows. If you've got any sense at all, you won't believe your ears. My clip is from the first episode that dropped on March 15th of this year, entitled "Silence and Sound". No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy A podcast where the hosts literally play every Final Fantasy, using recordings from actual play sessions mixed with commentary from their future selves. Hosted by Jeff Eckman and Ryan Kasmiskie. Our snippet hails from their debut installment, which posted back in December of 2017, and was called "An Unexamined Life." Just Say JulieMiss Julie Brown (MTV's Just Say Julie, Medusa, Attack of the 5'2 Women & more!) talks anything and everything with sidekick and producer Benny Laurence. Anything is possible on this podcast/webshow so stay tuned! It just got started this year, with the first episode bowing on February 9th of this year. In the first episode, Julie reads title suggestions from Twitter and talks Bachelor conspiracies with friend and producer, Benny. And in this clip, there a little about how Miss Brown and Ms. Laurence met… And just like that, another episode done and in the archives… also on Google and Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Audible, Amazon Music, Soundcloud, Podchaser.com, Podbay, and on YouTube. That's right, you can listen on YouTube. If you are interested in Gaming videos, you can find many of various types and audience age range appropriateness… Currently, I've been doing "let's plays" of educational apps such as having to do with Peppa Pig, or the internet Edutainment sensation Blippi. I've also played "house flipper" but I have yet to edit that. At any rate, thank you for listening, tune in next week for episode 309 within which I imagine Marc Hershon will have cooked up something fantastic for you to sample and enjoy. Until then, be decent to each other, thank a hospital worker for their service if you should happen across one out in the world not within a hospital's boundaries, and… if someone asks you if you have heard anything good lately, or perhaps you are on Twitter and someone asks for podcast recommendations, and we come to mind, won't you please…pass the Succotash? — Tyson Saner

We're back for a special episode of Six Seasons and a Podcast! I'm joined by not one but TWO amazing Andys. Andy Bobrow was a writer on Community and shares with us some of his experiences on the show. Andy Stanton is the writer of the Mr Gum book series and tells a wonderful story about visiting the Community Set. Together they have created the first and only podcast about the iconic British TV show The Tumbler's Willy. We discuss their new podcast The Tumbler's Willy Podcast which you can find more information at www.tumblerswillypodcast.comOr https://open.spotify.com/episode/1FHkU4wL26ma3dGZrGehot?si=qAu2Ts2lRMmGWHbbgLlg8Q&utm_source=copy-link

Some people are on the podcast* - they think season one's all over... it is now!!    *(those people would be Adrian Poynton, Caimh McDonnell, OMJ Ryan, Andy Stanton,  Beth Chalmers and Simon Griffin - to whom we offer our thanks for dropping back in to have a catch up with us).    Thank you to everyone who has listened to, supported and championed the podcast in our first season. We've had a great time putting it together and can't wait to bring you more thoroughly average chit-chat and moderately interesting happenings in March!    Happy new year!!  Music by Dano Songs (and Jon & Tom & Dave)

We're pretty lucky that Jon's writing hero responded to his somewhat serial killer-esque letter of invitation in the affirmative, rather than pursuing it further through legal channels. But all's well that ends well! We had a proper funty time with Andy, his chair and loads of really good insights into "the craft". (Fortunately we managed to keep Jon from embarrassing himself and letting it slip that he's actually got an Andy Stanton shrine in his downstairs loo... oh, and that he nearly called one of his kids Jammy Grammy Lammy F'Huppa F'Huppa Berlin Stereo Eo Eo Lebb C'Yepp Nermonica Le Straypek De Grespin De Crespin De Spespin De Vespin De Whoop De Loop De Brunkle Merry Christmas Lenoir).   Find the wonderful world of Mr Gum here  http://www.mrgum.co.uk/ See Jon's...um...not at all creepy letter to Andy here https://www.failingwriterspodcast.com/blog/why-jon-wanted-andy-stanton-on-the-show-so-bad/ Music by Dano songs

A book as big as 'It' can't be covered in just one episode, and the response we had to the last episode, and my guest Andy Stanton, was so positive that we have decided to make the return trip to Derry. One correspondent asked why we hadn't covered Pennywise much, or Bill Denborough, which sounded like a valid critique. So, Andy kindly agreed to come back and discuss Maine's scariest clown and Stuttering Bill, as well as a bunch of other loose ends. Andy Stanton is an author who lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. This stroke of good luck put him on the road to fame and fortune as the creator of Mr Gum, an anarchic curmudgeon in a series of best-selling children's books. Very apt that he would choose to talk about King's best book about children, growing up and facing monsters, This episode was hosted by Richard Sheppard, with research and support from Dr Linda Sheppard, and technical and sound production by "The Mad Professor" Stephen L. Parkes.

Hi, welcome back to the Constant Reader Podcast, with me your host, Richard Sheppard. Last month's guest, the mighty Paul Tremblay has recently re-released two of his earlier novels, The Little Sleep and No Sleep Til Wonderland through Titan publishing. They're wonderful stuff, very offbeat, and will that great Titan design that I love. The Firestarter film will officially commencing filming in Ontario next month, with Zac Efron in the lead. Stephen King has sent them a message of love, so we'll see how it turns out. There is certainly a great film somewhere in the novel. Other than that, not much news. Later has come out from Hard Case Crime, and we're looking forward to discussing that on the show soon. Lisey's Story is still coming out at the beginning of June on apple TV, and I'm definitely going to be talking about that adaptation of one of my least favourite king novels over the Summer. But now, to today's guest. Andy Stanton is an author who lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. This stroke of good luck put him on the road to fame and fortune as the creator of Mr Gum, an anarchic curmudgeon in a series of best-selling children's books. Apt that we should talk about King's best book about children, growing up and facing monsters, I suppose. As you can probably tell from the running time, Andy is passionate, verbose, funny and incisive, so I took the opportunity to speak to him a little longer than usual. This is a real deep dive, so take out hands as we explore the darker side of Derry Maine. A massive thank you to Stephen L Parkes, who was responsible for editing this behemoth. He's the best in the business. This episode was hosted by Richard Sheppard, with research and support from Dr Linda Sheppard, and technical and sound production by Professor Stephen L. Parkes.

We speak to Andy Stanton, manager of Heslerton FC about the season so far.

In this podcast, Sharon and Phil Callen explain:What habits and behaviours of readers areWhy are they important?How do we know which are the most useful habits and behaviours?How do we get them going in the classroom?How we develop the ‘three selves’ as a reader - self-directed, self-motivated, self-regulatedLearning about what good readers do makes reading accessible to every child, every day.GOOD READERS READ A LOT OF JUST RIGHT BOOKS:Lots of practice, lots of access, lots of success. Classroom practice to develop the habit of daily reading includes creating a culture of reading and helping to build the daily habit of reading, such as:Classroom library for easy access to booksTime for reading carved out everydayEvery child every day should have the opportunity to read something they choose, that they can understand and that they can read with accuracy. This is a habit of good readersEvery child has an entry point with ‘just right’ booksRead aloud is an entry point for young readersEncourage voluntary reading - choosing to read, reading at school, outside of school, seeing it as part of what they doWe build up accuracy, understanding, fluencyForming the habits and behaviours is the first phase - with the help of an enabling adult - every child, every dayGOOD READERS ARE MOTIVATED TO READ AND TO GROW AS A READER (GROWTH MINDSET):Interest, confidence and dedication.Classroom practices: Read aloud, introduce students to many books, authors, genres, information, vocabulary that is beyond their independent level of reading but which extends them into a rich world of habits and behaviours they can take into their own reading. Good teachers use Read and Shared Text to demonstrate to students what good readers do, whilst engaging in an authentic reading process. Meanwhile readers are practising many of the strategies of good readers with the teacher as they listen to/view the text, giving them an opportunity to begin practicing these behaviours.Anchoring these reading behaviours on a Good Reader Anchor chart enables students to see the importance of these behaviours and to be reminded of what they can practice/give a go as they read independently.Book tasting and book blessings given by students/ teachers also opens the world into more books, building interest and confidence to make informed selections. With every child experiencing an entry point, this develops a growth mindset about what it is to be a good reader. Good readers are active: thinkers, questioners, picture makers.GOOD READERS USE PROBLEM SOLVING, WITH A RANGE OF STRATEGIES:Good readers are active readers - they have an extensive range of strategies they draw on as they are reading. Classroom practices that establish these behaviours:Show students what good readers do as they read extended and continuous text (If we teach strategies outside of extended, continuous text, we fail to enable readers to grow the skills and strategies they need to read extended/continuous text, which is the very goal of reading).Modelling good reader strategies includes:Word solvingMonitoring and correcting/fixing up their reading when it doesn’t make senseAdjusting fluency Comprehending the text (visualising, predicting, questioning, summarising, inferring, setting a purpose for reading)Vocabulary learning and its influence on comprehensionFluency developmentResponding to reading - personal thoughts to discuss with others, recording some in a readers journal/notebookMetacognition, being aware of what they are doing as a reader and therefore developing self-regulation and self-directionBackground knowledge - bringing what they have developed and what they know, their experience of other texts, knowing when to use particular strategies and processes.GOOD READERS RESPOND TO FEEDBACKGood authentic teaching means good teachers will learn a lot about the needs of their readers by listening to them read and providing next steps to developing reading behaviours whilst they are reading continuous texts. This further develops the behaviours of good readers, as readers learn to apply an ever increasing range of strategies. Good teachers also notice when a group of students are ready to be taught a new reading behaviour or are close to consolidating one, or simply need more practice. Close eyes on the habits and behaviours that readers are developing is what builds success, confidence, interest, motivation and dedication to continuing on a thriving path to the joys and insights that reading bring to us.Actions are anchored in child language on charts in the classroom.Conferring with children is powerful teaching.Children need to be able to name the action.GOOD READERS TALK ABOUT THEIR READINGGood readers love to talk about and share what they are reading. Reading is a very social experience - afterall books are published so that more than one person can access the story! So our experiences with story and books are meant to be shared.Classroom practices that give readers opportunities to talk about their reading include:Turn and Tell after reading  - 60 seconds (What I liked, what I didn't like (emotions), what puzzled me, what patterns I am noticing)Book recommendationsMost underutilised comprehension strategyIn summary – the themes today have been:Enabling all students to develop the habits and behaviours of good readers.Allowing all children to be problem solvers in their reading – using a range of strategies.How to define the habits and behaviours and how to let students in on what these are and how to use them effectively.NOTE: Watch how good reader strategies also play out for your students as writers.Key questions:What is a good tool that Sharon has used with teachers in classrooms? Mt Barker South Teachers have turned their learning intentions into Good Reader statements - ensuring that they are teaching good reader actions, teaching good reader behaviours, building a growth mindset, motivation, reading habits, practice and interest.What’s a tantalising text that Sharon has used recently in a classroom? Going to the Volcano by Andy Stanton and illustrated by Miguel Ordenez (Pronounced OR DAWN EZ). It's a fun rhyming picture book text for two voices or more. Fun to read with your class, for readers to read in pairs and a great model for writing your own ‘GOING TO’ story. We’ll demonstrate, Sharon as the voice of Jane, whilst Phil is the voice of Dwayne. SH: Going to the Volcano by Andy Stanton and Miguel OrdonezPH: Going off with Jane-o to look at the volcano! SH: Going off with Jane-o to look at the volcano!PH: Walking down the lane-o to look at the volcano!SH: Walking down the lane-o to look at the volcano!PH: Riding the Great Dane-o to look at the volcano!SH: Riding the Great Dane-o to look at the volcano!PH: Sitting on the train-o to look at the volcano!SH: Sitting on the train-o to look at the volcano!PH: Jumping on the plane-o to look at the volcano!SH: Jumping on the plane-o to look at the volcano!PH: Flying off to Spain-o to look at the volcano!SH: Flying off to Spain-o to look at the volcano!PH: Splashing through the rain-o to look at the volcano!SH: Splashing through the rain-o to look at the volcano!PH: Going up the crane-o to look at the volcano!SH: Climbing down the chain-o to look at the volcano!PAUSE 3, 2,1 PH and SH: BOOM!PH: In a lot of pain-o because of the volcano!SH: In a lot of pain-o because of the volcano!PH: NEVER do it again-o.

Andy Stanton, Owner of 33 and Manager of artists including Late Replies and NinetyOne. Andy has been in the industry for about 10 years now as a party go-er and has been throwing events since August 2016 in London, Kent, Southampton, Ibiza, Malta and Budapest. His passion for the scene is evident with the constant progression and growth of the 33 brand and the risks taken such as moving to Ibiza to push the brand into the main hub of the scene which has now resulted in a residency on the Island. Andy also takes a very positive approach to his social presence and demeanour, which is always looking to inspire people to go out there, work our hard and follow their dreams.

This weeks guest is Andy Stanton. I really loved hearing about Andy’s story because he’s worked so hard to get to where he is today and it just goes to show that lots of hard work really pays off. Andy was the marketing manager for a property firm in London and at the same time loved a good party (as we all do!), and eventually, his passion for branding, communication and dance music led him to create his own event brand called 33 that started 3 years ago in London. After 3 years of hard work, the brand now has its own residency at Itaca in Ibiza and is also held in many different venues in the UK. In this podcast we talk about Andy’s journey, how the residency in Ibiza came about, the challenges he’s come across when throwing parties in London and Ibiza, his biggest achievements yet, advice for people starting their own event brand and more! This was such a positive chat with someone that’s so passionate about what they do so I hope you enjoy this chat and hopefully, it inspires you to follow your dreams, believe in yourself and just really work hard because if you do. I'm sure you'll eventually get there!   Check out 33 here:  https://www.facebook.com/33.official/  https://www.instagram.com/33.official/
