Podcast appearances and mentions of joel meadows

“One of the most precious public possessions of the empire” [BERY]    Joel Meadows began what eventually became Sherlock Holmes and the Empire Builders: The Gene Genie in 2002 while working on Tripwire as a quarterly print magazine. He tells us the story of how it took two decades to bring this vision to life with illustrator Andy Bennett, and what the plans are for part two of the story. The initial Kickstarter for part one was wildly successful, and the Kickstarter for the sequel is under way.  The praise has been effusive:  “A darn good romp” – Guillermo del Toro, Oscar-winning director “Classic Sherlock Holmes! You can smell the chimney-smoke and feel the clatter of hooves. Here's the character we all know and love, given a fresh polish for the 21st century!” – Ian Rankin, Rebus The fusion of history and mystery form Joel's perfect nexus, and he's extending his efforts from graphic novel to a novella next.  We've moved the Sherlockian News to an exclusive monthly bonus track for  (watch for that to drop), and added a new segment: "The Learned Societies," all about activities going on in in Sherlockian groups. In this episode, we cover some of the BSI Weekend activities. Madeline Quiñones had diligently prepared an installment of "A Chance of Listening," her review of Sherlockian podcasts, that we missed last epsiode, so we make up for it this time. And of course the Canonical Couplet quiz awaits to test your Sherlockian knowledge. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive Sherlock Holmes and the Empire Builders. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by February 14, 2025 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

Yes, another Sherlock Holmes book! The longtime EIC of Tripwire, Joel Meadows, joins the Bandits to talk about the second volume of his Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders story. You may know Joel as a journalist, who's written extensively about comics, film, and genre narratives throughout the UK. He's written two books about comics: Studio Space (as co-author) about where and how 20 of the world's best comic artists work, and Masters of Comics, which covered more comic artists and their workspaces.

Are you good at composting? I certainly haven't been in the past. But with the help of a community composting group called YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) I have become a kitchen scrap saviour, a leaf collecting ninja and I make steaming hot compost.  In today's episode I talk to Lucy Young, Joel Meadows, Mikaela Beckley and Claudia Lang about what this group is all about and why they are passionate about compost. (Spoiler: reducing greenhouse gasses, connecting community, building beautiful soil)    

Joel Meadows     Heavy Metal Entertainment               £35.99 Tripwire is thirty, and we were intrigued when this beautiful anniversary book arrived at The Books Podcast. What is Tripwire, you ask? It's a… well, it's a magazine. Hm… funny name for a magazine. What sort of magazine? A slightly geeky magazine. Geeky? OK, it's a magazine for anybody who shares the interests of editor in chief, Joel Meadows, but there again, Joel's interests are mainstream geek, so that's alright. And one of his interests is illustrative art, principally comic-book and movie art, and Tripwire is in love with it. And that endears it to me. We visited Joel Meadows to discuss the past … Continue reading →

s09e04 LAKES FESTIVAL 2021 * ORIGINALLY LIVESTREAMED, Sunday 17th October 2021 * Catch the full livestream as it goes out live by being a Patreon supporter of the channel: www.patreon.com/EnglishmanSDCC Wow - it really does feel like comic cons are fully back with a vengeance, with MCM Comic Con London kicking off next weekend at the ExCel Centre, guests and announcements rolling out for Wales Comic Con: Telford Takeover and Thought Bubble, and, this weekend, The Lakes International Comic Art Festival setting out its stalls all around Kendal in the Lake District. But, while the events are back, does that mean that the vibe is back, also? Lakes has had the hardest hurdles to tackle: keeping its remit of supporting indie and legacy creatives while having the smallest representation of mainstream comics to possibly bring in the all-essential passing trade. We find out from two attendees - one reporting on, and one exhibiting at , the festival - what it's really been like with boots on the ground at this usually vibrant and vital festival. Has the energy been there as the long nights kick in? We're joined by Tripwire Magazine's Joel Meadows and THAT TEXAS BLOOD's Christopher Condon to talk Lakes, as well as reviewing DC FanDome, and much more, ---------- TALKIN' CON: A CUP O' TEA with AN ENGLISHMAN IN SAN DIEGO A weekly livestream, hosted by Leonard Sultana, talking comic conventions, con culture and pop culture - LIVE Sundays, 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT Featuring Special Guests, spotlight features, community chat and convention news updates Subscribe, Like and Turn On Notifications at www.youtube.com/EnglishmanSDCC www.theconventioncollective.com/anenglishmaninsandiego

We all have our guilty pleasures. Mine include horror films, prog rock and, for the purposes of this interview, comic books. For me it was American super-heroes: Batman and the Fantastic Four and speech balloons screaming, “Mortal, I say thee nay!” and “Not all my power can save me!” But actually, comic books have come a long way since the cheap paper and four-colour separation of my childhood. They are glossier, they are more detailed, much better presented, and much more expensive.

Today's Guest: Joel Meadows, editor, Tripwire: The Genre Magazine   Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with Joel Meadows by clicking on the video player above!  Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of international fanboys who swear they get all the jokes in “The Big Bang Theory” … in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!! Tripwire: The Genre Magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017. Zines dedicated to comic books, science fiction, and genre TV shows and films come and go pretty quickly around the world. They all start with a singular dedication – perhaps obsession – but most vanish in the face of long hours, hard work, little or no compensation and an equal amount of recognition. JOEL MEADOWS podcast excerpt: "Before 'Tripwire,' I would read a magazine called 'Speakeasy.' I'm not sure if it made it to the States, but it was a very snarky British comics magazine. They used to have a column from Grant Morrison. It was sort of a template for us." Cover of Tripwire: The Genre Magazine, 2008 issue And then there is Tripwire: The Genre Magazine, the UK’s enduring cornocopia of interviews, reviews, analysis and previews of everything from Marvel and DC comics to James Bond, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Dredd and much, much more. Tripwire is celebrating its 25th anniversary in print and online in 2017, a phenomenal accomplishment by any media survival standard. And remaining at its helm for the entire quarter-century is its editor and founder Joel Meadows, whom I’m honored to call a personal friend for almost four years. This is his second appearance on the show. JOEL MEADOWS podcast excerpt: "For decades, 'Doctor Who' wasn't popular in the States. Then you had this reboot with Christpher Eccleston and suddenly everything clicked. Why hasn't 'Dredd'? That's a fair question; I don't know! '200 A.D. just had its 40th anniversary, but 'Dredd' still feels like a cult thing where 'Doctor Who' is insanely huge in the U.S." Joel Meadows Website • Tripwire on Facebook • Joel Meadows on Facebook • Download Tripwire Digital Magazine from iTunes Order Will Eisner: A Spirited Life (2nd Edition) by Bob Andelman, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover above!     The Party Authority in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland!

Humans have been making use of fire for around a million years, but what if we've been doing it wrong? In the first half of the episode we talk how to do it right, with rocket stoves and biochar, with appropriate technologist Joel Meadows. Where there is smoke there is fire, but the reverse need not be true says Joel. Smoke is merely inefficiently burnt wood, and all those coughs, cancers and deforestation through the eons were sadly for nought. Rocket stoves are almost smokeless and can be built from scrap. In the second half of the show we talk with climate scientist Professor David Karoly. He and fellow Climate Change Authority member Professor Clive Hamilton recently released an unprecedented Minority Report arguing that the Authority's latest majority report is politicised and its recommendations lead towards dangerous warming rather than minimising climate change.
