It was a great pleasure for this week's Nostalgia Interviews podcast to meet screenwriter, author and award-winning podcaster Mark Stay. We begin by talking about Herne Bay and its cultural dynamics and learn that Mark has always been drawn to creativity, with Star Wars playing a formative influence. His teachers encouraged him, and Mark discusses the importance of reaching out to people in the know, and the time Mark bottled it when a director once rang him. We chat about what happens when you interact with ‘famous people' and we find out why it's the people two thirds up the ladder who can be the most useful. We discover why Mark gave up on acting and prefers writing, and we learn that Mark is a fan of Mike Leigh. We also hear about the three short films that Mark made and that he has written a full length screenplay. While learning his craft, Mark would make the most of every spare minute to write, and we find out what keeps Mark going, as well as why one can only run one's own race, and Mark talks about the importance of resilience and persistence. Mark also gives advice on the best strategies with, say, writing a novel. Mark has kept a diary since 2006, and we learn that his diaries and books are handwritten and then subsequently typed up. We talk about the Witches of Woodville books which Mark says are a cross between Dad's Army and Bedknobs and Broomsticks set during the Battle of Britain with a trio of bickering witches. They are grounded in reality. We also learn whether Mark's younger self would be surprised to discover what he is doing now, and how one can start out as an author in one's 50s. We learn why there is no such thing as an overnight success. We discuss the art of self-mythologizing and we find out why Mark is so wary of nostalgia, seeing it as a slippery slope towards fascism. Things weren't actually better in the past. Then, at the end of the interview Mark explains why he believes things are getting better and how it is important to live in the now and to have the imagination to look forward.

Mark Stay is a novelist and screenwriter. His Witches of Woodville series is published by Simon & Schuster, and his new film Unwelcome premiered at the Sitges Festival recently, and was released by Warner Bros. in 2023. The Guardian said, “This is Straw Dogs by way of Fraggle Rock, essentially; but the script by Wright and Mark Stay weaves in enough anxieties, both contemporary and primal, to sustain suspense even amid the silliness. It adds up to an enjoyably unpretentious Irish-ish folk horror. And not a shamrock in sight.” Ellen E Jones, The GuardianBuy Unwelcome on Digital DownloadAmazonFollow Mark StayTwitter: @markstayFacebook: markstaywriterPatreon - Support The Showpatreon.com/theconversationwithnadinemathesonpodcastThank you for joining me.

Mark Stay is joined this week by guest presenter Caimh McDonnell, bestselling author of the Bunny McGarry series and the Stranger Times books, including Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Director Jon Wright joins Mark Stay to answer listener questions on the development of their new monster movie Unwelcome. They reveal what inspired them to write the script, how the story was developed (and was very early abandoned), how Jon blocks and shoots sequences and works with the cast and crew, they offer tips for screenwriters, and they start by discussing, er, chocolate bars. 

The Two Marks don their terrible Christmas sweaters and hats to celebrate the festive season and look forward to 2023. Mark Stay tests Mr D with a super-duper mega quiz, we discover that Americans don't have Christmas crackers, we reveal where Santa comes from, tell terrible jokes, and we discuss taking stock and setting goals for 2023… and much more!

Let us be the one millionth review to say this show is good. It's really stinking good. Today on a BONUS Authorized, we cap off our Star Wars duology of Rogue one books by discussing Season 1 of ANDOR, a tv series made by the coolest guy ever about the second coolest guy ever. We talk Skeen, Nemick, Mon Mothma, and that guy with the bell. We speculate on the future of Syril and Dedra, and echo all the existing thinkpieces saying it's a prescient take on modern fascism. And we're not just joined by our normal Star Wars pal author Mark Stay, but also our friend Leah Marilla Thomas! Plus Overbye floats a theory that's truly godawful.  Remember to check our Twitter and Instagram to see the game played at the end of the episode (around 2:13:00).

Ever wonder what happened BEFORE the prequel to Star Wars? No one did. But they made a book about it anyway! And hey, it's definitely got its merits. Today on Authorized, Mark Stay returns to tackle Star Wars: Catalyst, the book that explains how Galen and Orson became the weird ex-friends they are in Rogue One.  We discuss Mas Ameda, Poggle the Lesser, and try to tease apart how exactly Palpatine planned all this out. Seems pretty fraught as far as evil designs go.  Check out Mark's Witches of Woodville series!: https://linktr.ee/WitchesOfWoodville  Look out for Mark's new movie Unwelcome! : https://cornerstonefilm.com/film/unwelcome/  John's improv podcast Exit Interview is BACK!: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/exit-interview/id1534899949 Subscribe to our Patreon: Patreon.com/authorizedpod  Follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/authorizedpod  Instagram: instagram.com/authorizedpod  Next on Authorized: A mid-week episode on Halloween Ends that comes out whenever I finish it --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authorizedpod/support

Never meet your heroes, man. Specifically, never meet your heroes' asexual parent that resides on a Botany Planet where no one is ever allowed to be sad. This week on Authorized, Mark Stay returns to follow E.T. back to his home, The Green Planet. Unfortunately, E.T.'s like that one girl I went to private high school with who just keeps transferring schools over and over. He is immediately hellbent on getting back to Earth, but not before he describes every weird, boring plant on his planet to the reader. This has gotta be the most entertaining absolute slog we've ever read. Stay tuned at the end for appearances by Authorized favorites Gavin G. Smith and Max Fitzpatrick!

He's BAAAAAAAaaaaaack. Wrong movie, but whatever. This week on Authorized, we continue our new trend of reading a second novelization of a movie we've already covered; this time it's William Kotzwinkle's iconic novelization of E.T. the Extra Terrestrial! We're joined by author Mark Stay to discuss E.T.'s plant whispering, his benevolent healing of overseas miners, and mostly how unforgivably horny he is. I mean seriously, E.T., pump the brakes. You're not allowed to be this horny for a human lady. Next week on Authorized, we continue with the sequel, E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet!

In this week's show, Phil talks to Mark Angle the Chief Cloud Operations Officer at OneStream, having previously held leadership positions in areas including data centre operations, service desk, enterprise architecture and service delivery. His passions lie at the intersection of technology, science, and nature but he gets his in-office adrenaline rush leading collaboration discussions or presenting to a customer. Mark discusses why we should always go further when it comes to self-development and learning. He also talks about why we should always keep our eyes open to spot new possibilities and opportunities.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   TOP CAREER TIP We excel when we push past the boundaries of what we need to learn, and take on more information. This pushes us to grow more and be ready when opportunities arise.   WORST CAREER MOMENT While managing a group of engineers, Mark plugged some of the patch cabling in, which wasn't labelled. There was a malfunction, and the result was that a large corporate network across the country was taken offline.   CAREER HIGHLIGHT Growing into the position he currently holds at OneStream. It was a journey that involved working hard and ascending the ladder gradually. But the rewards have paid off handsomely.   THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T There are countless facets to IT, which means that those with a creative mind and the will to apply themselves, will always find a route through their chosen pursuit.   THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Through experimentation during youth. What's the best career advice you received? – Always be moving in your career, and stay on the bleeding edge. What's the worst career advice you received? – To stay in a job that will take you nowhere. What would you do if you started your career now? – Mark would start up a new technology company of his own. What are your current career objectives? – Continued rapid growth for OneStream, gaining a foothold in the market, and expansion. What's your number one non-technical skill? – Gaining a broad sense of business knowledge. How do you keep your own career energized? – Training, learning and pushing to develop more. What do you do away from technology? – Outdoor pursuits and flying his own airplane   FINAL CAREER TIP Make sure you continue to learn, remain progressive, and keep your eyes open. If opportunities present themselves, take the chance and follow your instincts.   BEST MOMENTS (2:57) – Mark – “Learn more than what you need to” (4:56) – Mark - “Technology exists not just for the sake of technology.

Guests Mark Stay and Ian W Sainsbury join hosts Letty Butler and Stephen Mellor in a ‘controversial' podcast with a difference, for writers and readers alike. In this episode Mark, Ian, and Letty respond live, against the clock, to a series of writing prompts, as well as discussing writing what you know, impostor syndrome, books in the loo and how giving up is the 100% certain way of failing — oh, and Stephen gets scared by his own dyslexia. The prompts were 200 words on the pre-prepared prompt of ‘The Tear in Her Dress.' The three minute prompt was ‘The Smell of your Grandmothers Laundry Room,' and the one minute prompt was ‘Rose.' The prompts were taken from the Writers Toolkit by Jamie Cat Callan. Find more from Mark at: https://markstaywrites.com More from Ian at: https://www.ianwsainsbury.com And you can listen to the ‘Bestseller Experiment Podcast' at: http://bestsellerexperiment.com Also why not have a go at the prompts yourself?
