The best pop culture podcast recorded from a bedroom in Birmingham by a sweary bird (probably). Best served with tea & cake.

It's all gone a bit wonky this episode; we're joined firstly by Fantasticast's Steve Lacey for some chat about Superman Returns, how to perfectly time a cinema toilet trip and we all try to figure out what the song I only know the first line to is. We also play a short game of Where In The World Is Steve Lacey? and continue to not spoil Infinity War.
After that, Parlour regular Lee Grice appears and the technological poop hits the fan! After a brief not-broadcast panic, we get into chatting about comics, how you deal with dislking stuff your friends have created, how trailers are supposed to work, remakes and reboots and more! Oh my!

I'd like to extend an apology to Steve, Lee and the listeners; again we have the issue of guests answering questions before we've actually finished asking them, meaning there's more talking over one another and extended gaps. I'm really sorry; I have no idea what happened or why, and there's no way for me to fix it. This is also the episode where we broadcast about 5 minutes of silence (which I have replaced with a short burst of Spanish Flea) as my microphone died and we had to replace it. Sorry!
Disclaimer: The SPCP Live 3 episodes will be mostly unedited. This means they will be put out as close to their live versions as possible, including (but not limited to); audio delays and the resultant accidentally-talking-over-each-other, bodily function noises (aka the World's Loudest Sneezes), slightly-too-long sections in which we try to deal with the mountain of technical problems on the day... I believe they are still very enjoyable though, and I hope you have as much fun listening in as Barry & I did when broadcasting!

As we inch ever closer to the end Barry and I start suffering from voice huskiness from chatting for so long, but that's not going to stop us! We call in absolute gem Sarah Millman to chat with us about her comic work, how retail work nightmares can be writing gold, video games and more! There's a brief interlude in which I admit I can't really handle time differences and Barry & I chat about SPCP Live and The British Heart Foundation, before Sarah rejoins us for more Disney chat. Also, Rich returns, and he's quite drunk!
We're then joined by the amazing David Sobolov; voice actor and all-round brilliant dude. We chat about his acting and voice acting career (and the role that almost ended it), the importance of kindness, 'Vin Ethanol' and loads more!
Please note that the competition in the episode is now closed.

I'd like to extend an apology to Sarah, David and the listeners; something went awry in this segment so it seems that guests are answering questions before we've actually finished asking them, meaning there's more talking over one another and extended gaps. I'm really sorry; I have no idea what happened or why, and there's no way for me to fix it. I still think it's worth a listen though, as Sarah & David are fabulous!

I'm running out of fun ways to say "Here's a new episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour: Live!" so just have at it; first up in this episode is the rather jolly brilliant Bevis Musson! We talk about how Dead Queen Detectives was actually intended to be a terrible pitch but turned out to be a great idea, parenting (and why I'm not cut out for it), Star Wars, Tomb Raider, and more!
After that, fellow Improper Books lovelies and top notch folk, Christian & Laura Wildgoose appear, all banana-ed up and ready for action! As well as discussing the idea behind Improper Books and some of Christian and Laura's work there, we also share our mutual fear of driving, and Laura offers tips on how to survive in New York when it's so darn overwhelming...
Enjoy!

Cor blimey, it's a triple bill of awesomeness this episode! First up it's movie buff & podcaster, Emma Platt, who gets somewhat irate about cinema etiquette..! Emma & I introduce Barry to the absolute WTF-ness of Mac and Me, and we all speculate about which movies we're going to enjoy later this year.
Following Emma is top notch comic book lady, Isabell Struble*! As I've interviewed Isabell on a previous episode, we immediately take a turn into 80s soundtrack heaven (brace yourselves guys, there's singing again!) and I set Barry & Isabell some very important movie watching homework.
And last but by no means least, Friend of The Parlour and video game expert, Sam Harrison! We chat about VR (and my slightly idiotic fear of it), the best games Sam's playing right now, and disappointing finales...
*This episode was recorded prior to Isabell's transition and therefore uses her previous name and pronouns, however has been posted with her permission.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPETITION IN THIS EPISODE IS NOW CLOSED.

Hey hey folks, welcome to another slice of SPCP Live shenanigans! First up is podcasting juggernaut Luke Moore (of The Football Ramble, The Luke & Pete Show and On The Continent fame), who joins us to chat about podcasting and his favourite TV shows right now, as well as challenging us to name our favourite SPCP Live guest so far! (Eeeeeevil!) I regale Luke & Barry with a tale of a ludicrous family dinner and Barry shares his feelings on moths. Moths can DO ONE.
After that, we have the absolutely splendiferous Townsend Coleman joining us for a spot of chat about acting, voice acting, how he became TMNT's Michelangelo and the impact of his work. Barry & I tried to stay cool but you try not dissolving into a fan-mess when The Tick starts chatting to you! It's just not possible! SPOOOOOOOON!

It's time for some musical quizzy fun, as the delightful gents from F# A# Revisited, Joe & Nick, challenge us to a 'The Chase'-style battle! It's Stace & Barry vs The Hipster (aka Joe); who will win? Tune in to find out! We also have a great chat about music in general, whilst Barry & I eat 99s far too loudly...
Up next, it's the Man of Action himself, King of All Pop Culture; Joe Kelly! We chat to Joe about the process behind adapting I Kill Giants into a rather jolly spiffing movie, why Spider-Man & Deadpool work so well together, how to keep all your writing heads on stright when you're writing a bazillion different things, and Joe weighs in on the Ewoks vs Porgs debate.

The SPCP Live train is really rolling now, as we're joined by actor, improv coach and shark extraordinaire, Peter Spellos! Peter chats about how his UK fan-family has renamed him Uncle Albert due to his epic beard, as well as his feelings on spoilers, Krypton, and A Comedy About A Bank Robbery. We also yet again manage to talk about Infinity War without spoiling it!
After that, Holly Rose Swinyard drops by and Barry immediately springs 'Ewoks or Porgs?' on them! After a quite in depth chat about Star Wars, we get into a great conversation with Holly about cosplay, consent, photography, and their upcoming magazine 'The Cosplay Journal', concluding with the brilliant message that cosplay is for everyone.
All this, plus a little bit of sandwich anarchy!

It's time for more SPCP Live shenanigans! Part 2 takes us from 11am-1pm, and it's certainly a journey...! We kick off with the always delightful Vince Hunt who chats with us about his comic Red Mask From Mars, the life of an Awesome Comics Podcaster, making an anthology comic and more! I also delight everyone with a beetroot related story...
Next up it's John-Paul Bove & Jess Bradley, who both deserve awards for putting up with the technological issues that hit us during this segment! Somehow we muddled through and got to hear John-Paul's Hayley Atwell tale, Jess' Predator pregnancy story and just how cowardly Barry & I are when it comes to survival horror games! Over.

Here we go, folks; it's time to get your Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour: Live on! Barry and I were apparently ill-prepared for a full half hour of introducing the show and our chosen charity, The British Heart Foundation, so we attempt to pad out with talk on such thrilling topics as microphones, bunting and waffles! Then it's time for some proper excellent content; it's Stace & Barry In The Morning! We are very good at avoiding Infinity War spoilers, create a new character that will undoubtedly take the internet by storm, and I pick a song that drops all the swear bombs at too-early-in-the-AM! Oops...
After that, absolutely amazing animator extraordinaire Dani Abram joins us to talk about the naughtiest thing she's ever done, how best to fake an illness, and organising the incredibly popular Cardiff Animation Festival!
