Episode 5   Kathi Appelt Kathi Appelt is the author Maybe a Fox, co-written with Alison McGhee. Her many other award-winning books include The True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp, The Underneath,and When Otis Courted Mama, Counting Crows and more. She pops by the Porchlight and together she and host Bethany Hegedus meander on a craft and creativity talk, that like the loveliest of long walks takes in the beauty and importance of place.  We discuss literary friendships—the meaningful ones with our artist colleagues that push us to do our best work. We touch on omniscience and knowing when (or allowing the gut to dictate when) a shift needs to be made and the most radical version of 1st person omniscience Kathi has read—ever: Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith. We take a break to talk about grit and determination and how it can yield great joy. Enjoy your time with Kathi. I sure did. Thank you for listening. Please share your comments and thoughts on the podcast with us. Rate us on iTunes, Google Play or Sticher—share the Porchlight with others. And remember to retreat, create and celebrate.

Andy Hobbs (Theatre director, mastermind behind Guerilla Shakespeare and presenter of the Facsimile Arts Radio Show.) joins us to chat about his favourite corner of cinema: the creature-feature. We chart the evolution of this cinematic form from Godzilla in the 1960s right up to the modern heights of Sharknado 2 and offer some unsolicited advice to Edgar Wright (because of course he's listening) in his first foray into the creature-feature: Grasshopper Jungle. The Pop Culture Radio Show is presented by Nigel Doylerush and produced by Sarah Corke. It goes out live (with all the music we have to leave out for the podcast) at 8pm on the first weds of the month on Kilburn to Kensall Radio.

After a short hiatus which saw one of us get married and one of us get another year older, the Grave Plot boys are back in the saddle. We ease back into things like a warm bath. To kick off Horror Business, we discuss the passing of makeup legend Dick Smith. We then bring some old habits by discussing not one but two upcoming movies from writer/director Kevin Smith. We briefly catch up on the latest American Horror Story: Freak show news, then update you on the latest news concerning Gremlins. We then move on to Broadway and discuss the American premiere of the American Psycho musical. We also provide updates on Sinister 2, Goosebumps, 31, The Mummy, Knock Knock, and The Grasshopper Jungle. In addition to all that, we tell you about Evil Dead's move to the small screen, Bruce Campbell included. We then move on to our reviews, which this time include Almost Human and Blood Runs Cold. Tony didn't see the end of Blood Runs Cold so Taylor tells him about it (spoiler alert). He didn't miss much. So get over your withdrawals and indulge yourself in the grand return of the Grave Plot Podcast.
