This is it, ladies and gents; the last part of the epic podcasting adventure that was Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour: Live! This grand finale features none other artistic LEGEND Adam Hughes!
In this episode, Stacey and Jenni (with their sleep deprived addled brains) try really hard not to fangirl all over Mr. Hughes, who is another contender for Nicest Dude In Comics and is an absolute top notch guest. Listen in as the group talk about allsorts of stuff, from charity work to pinup art, dogs and cats to Christopher Lee, Wonder Woman's costume and much more!
All this, plus Adam's BRILLIANT English accent, Stacey's terrible attempt at filling time with a rendition of Yakko's World, and the total moolah raised (during the recording; amazingly we've surpassed that by quite a bit now!)
So grab a slice of cake, a nice hot cuppa, relax and enjoy this piece of podcasting lusciousness! And if you do enjoy it, please think about donating a little to Operation Smile via www.justgiving.com/SPCPLive; it's almost my birthday and I would be SO CHUFFED if we could raise enough for another operation by then.
Much love to all who have listened, donated, and joined in for SPCP Live; I had a wicked time doing it and have been so overwhelmed by the donations and positive responses. Thank you all so much.

Cor, we're almost there! Joining Stacey and Jenni in the penultimate installment of SPCP Live is Geek Syndicate co-founder, author and tip-top dancefloor legend, Barry Nugent!
As the ladies inch towards the 22 hour podcasting mark, Barry does his best to perk them up and keep them going, with talk of Batman vs Superman, New Girl, cosplay and how to freak out Geek Syndicate's David Monteith with it, sporty fandom, diversity and minority representation in comics, Doctor Who and more!
As the girls go potty from sleep deprivation, why not spare a thought and a few coins for Operation Smile? Go to www.justgiving.com/SPCPLive and please give as much as you can.

With about 17 hours straight podcasting in the bag at this point, Stacey and Jenni are joined once more by Lee Grice, this time bringing with him the absolutely amazing artist and bloody brilliant lady; Jennie Gyllblad! Unfortunately, those 17 hours seem to have sent the girls potty, as the conversation gets underway on such delightfully not safe for work topics as what a ride at a sex theme park might be like, murderous lady-parts, terrible pick up attempts, Batman XXX and more! (A bit too much more, really...)
On top of this, some vaguely sensible conversations are had about printed comics vs digital comics, the Eurovision Song Contest, King of Fighters, Jennie's comic work and even more besides in this extra-long slice of fundraising joyousness.
Please do consider giving anything you can to Operation Smile via my page: www.justgiving.com/SPCPLive
ENJOY! (And apologies... :P)

Hot on the heels of Part 8 comes this next installment of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour: Live featuring Nick Papaconstantinou and Leigh Gallagher.
It seems the flagging has begun as the girl's pass the 15 hour podcasting mark and start to feel sleep creeping in. Luckily for them, Nick and Leigh come to the rescue with all sorts of fun stories and madness to keep everyone awake and entertained.
Nick (of the 2 Grown Men podcast), Jenni and Stacey set about discussing the items on Nick's list of stuff to talk about, but actually end up rambling about social anxieities and podcasting, horroscopes and celebrity birthdays, festivals, relationships, Prince and tons more besides.
Leigh (the Most Handsome Man in Comics) follows with his self-proclaimed 'Sexy Hour' and talk of sex theme parks, swingers cruises and International Cock or Ball... Never fear, there are also some fairly sensible, grown up conversations about being a dad, fitness regimes and Adventure Time too! As the girls hit the tiredness wall, Leigh takes the hosting seat and probably does a better interview of the girls than they've done all day! It's one not to miss :P
So grab a slice of cake, go give some dosh to Operation Smile www.justgiving.com/SPCPLive and enjoy this wedge of podcasting goodness!

Helllllllloooooooooooooooooooo! That's right, it's time for some more live charity madness in Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! Joining Jenni and Stacey for the after dinner segment are the guys and gals of Improper Books; Laura, Matt and Christian. Hear them talk very little about Improper Books and what they do, and more about day of the week underoos, colouring in, kids eating random crap, how ET is genuinely scary, cinema etiquette, and loads more besides. This episode contains the brilliant phrase "Matt, what pants do you own?" so you can tell the calibre of conversation being had...
Following those fun fellows and females comes Andi Ewington; returning guest and comic writing guy extraoordinaire! It starts to become very obvious around this time that the stereotype of Brits not being good at self promotion really hits home, as Andi and the girls discuss the Lego Movie, Atmos vs IMAX, video game movies, IT Crowd, the sausage and bacon sandwich sauce dilemma, and a little bit about comics.
Enjoy, and don't forget, the page is still open for donations! www.justgiving.com/SPCPLive

Stacey, Jenni and Bevis discuss all things Disney, Lego sets, Prince, more Disney, Muppets, He-Man and She-Ra, yet more Disney and much more! There's also a fair bit of dribbling over hunky men...

Hi there guys and gals! This part of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour Live features video game king Ash Paulsen, and Geektress' lovely lady-nerd Brenda Kirk.
Ash and the girls talk about a TON of video games, including why Stacey sucks at games, Mario Kart 8, Mega Man, Dance Dance Revolution and why you shouldn't try dancing like that in a club, and much more! Also, Stacey manages to bring it all back to TMNT (again) whilst Jenni brings it all back to dogs (again), plus a little talk of arachnophobia to spice things up :P
Brenda then arrives and for some reason we spend quite a lot of time talking about food, takeaways, dessert pizzas and nerdy cookery... On top of this, there's discussion on robots, tattoos, Star Wars, TV cancellation outrages, Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit and loads more besides. It's an episode jam-packed with goodness, so enjoy!
You can still donate to Operation Smile; so far we have 7 fully funded facial surgeries; can you guys bump me up to 8?... www.justgiving.com/SPCPLive

Jamal joins the ladies to talk about his work at Action Lab, including his very own book Molly Danger, as well as that whole Rick Remender situation, DC's New 52 (when will we stop calling it new?!), how to draw Supergirl, why that Sin City 2 side-boob was a big deal and much, much more! Hot contender for Stacey's Nicest Dude In Comics Award, join the gang for laughs a-plenty in this installment of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour Live!

Cor, yet more lovely 24hr podcast fun times fwipping your way!
In this episode Jenni and Stacey chat to Lee Grice, co-host of the rather jolly spiffing Small Press Big Mouth podcast (currently on hiatus but worth checking out old episodes anyway). They talk about such geeky topics as how to look sexy with glasses, which foods are best for eating quietly when podcasting live and errant chin and forehead hairs... (You try thinking of things to talk about for 24 whole hours!) Never fear though, some pop culture is discussed in the form of talking about Batgirls' new look and superhero costumes in general, what the group may have thought of the leaked Flash pilot if they'd seen it, Edge of Tomorrow and much, much more!
Following Lee into The Parlour is cartoonist and all-round tip-top bloke, Luke Foster! Luke chats about his latest comic adventure, Drawn Away (a doodled chronicling of his several month trip across America...the jammy git!), as well as his thoughts on the upcoming TMNT movie, Community and Veronica Mars. Also mentioned are Jenni's rippling muscles, the shocking revelation that Stace doesn't like Dolly Parton or Elvis, and Instacon. All this, plus some cyber-bullying from Luke (the meanie!)
Enjoy, and remember, you can still donate to the Operation Smile donation page, should you like what you hear! www.justgiving.com/SPCPLive
