The New Century Multiverse

ALEX: If for some reason you have finished Castle of the Moon and are not aware of the discussion and analysis show, Through the Wind Door, this is your introduction. Greg Downing and Toby Jungius have been getting together to talk New Century for seven years, covering each book in a season of their podcast, along with movies and games they love, very much continuing the deep, intelligent, granular analysis and absurd, dry humour of School of Movies. At the end of each audiodrama I complete, they bring in myself and Sharon, and our amazing voice actors to talk candidly about the process of the adaptation.

I'm hosting the first of these on the New Century Multiverse podcast feed, and you should jump across and subscribe to listen to the rest as they are released, and get stuck into their fantastic show.
