    71: Behind The Audiobook
    Nov 5 2024
    This month we’re talking to an author and publisher/manager about audiobooks and how they approach to audiobooks. We cover how they chose narrators for their books, and how audiobooks affect the writing and management of their business. We also have the long awaited re-introduction of ‘News From Equity’ with Annette Rizzo. C.K. (Caimh) McDonnell is the paranormal pen name of Irish bestselling author Caimh McDonnell. He is a former stand-up comedian and TV writer who now spends all his time writing books as his dogs don’t like it when he leaves the house. When not writing about the adventures of the staff at The Stranger Times, he is the author of the increasingly inaccurately titled ‘Dublin Trilogy’ series (eight books and counting) and its various spinoffs, all of which have been Amazon bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. The Dublin Trilogy has been optioned for TV by Avalon (Breeders, Taskmaster) with Chris Addison at the helm. The Stranger Times has been optioned by Playground (Wolf Hall, The Undeclared War) who are working on the series with Peacock. The Stranger Times won Best Audio at the 2023 British Fantasy Awards, a fact Caimh constantly endeavours to drop into casual conversation. He lives in Manchester, where The Stranger Times series is set. Elaine Ofori After over two decades of collecting seemingly random skills across publishing and marketing/communications, Elaine is finally putting them to good use at her publishing company McFori Ink as Head of Stuff/Chief Wrangler, where she spends her days mulling over words. She's taken this love of words one step further and has turned them into fully constructed sentences that are slightly more creative than the reports and strategies she's spent most of her career writing. Her debut novel, co-written with her husband, author C.K. McDonnell, will be published in Germany in 2025.

    70: The Cutting Room
    Oct 1 2024
    This month we're going through the bits of interviews we had to leave out of previous podcasts. This is all stuff that we simply couldn't fit into the relevant episodes, but it's too good to leave on the cutting room floor. We talk too much!

Paul Brown has been a VO for decades, despite which he has a nagging suspicion that he’s been somehow ‘getting away with it’ for 46 years. He doesn’t know what SEO is, can’t maintain a website, is hopeless at selling himself, thinks that computer games are still loaded from audio cassettes and is utterly baffled by the success of podcasts.

    This month we're diving into money with Ray Dodd.
    Money is a conversation topic that's often avoided, but money is essential to us all. So how does our upbringing, our experiences and social expectations impact our relationship with money and our money-making potential?
    Ray Dodd’s coaching is all about Money Mindset without the BS. Her work gives you the tools to break free from oppressive social expectations that are holding you back from reaching your full money-making potential.
