Unfortunately, Craig, the ever-fickle recording bot, decided to do an update 6 minutes into James Worrad’s episode so there is no recording of the first episode of Season 8. Don’t worry, James will return!!

Craig knew better than to misbehave for Eliza Chan though and so here we have episode 2 of season 8 in all its glory! Including:

- Some egregious spreadsheet slander

- Scott attempting to communicate through morse code

- Anime makes an unexpected appearance

- Eliza talks mermaid tales, delightful murderous children’s mascots in Japan and hopping vampires

- RJ announces we’re ten minutes from the end a full twenty minutes before the actual end. Very on brand.

- Eliza gives an excellent ur text answer

- And the playlist descends into utter chaos

Season 7 continues with another host only episode in which:

- RJ is sad his favourite sweet has been discontinued
- RJ then proceeds to offend everyone with his opinion on Die Hard (and no, it has nothing to do with whether or not it’s a Christmas movie)
- Scott goes into a deep dive of what the Fast and the Furious actually is (spreadsheets at the ready!)
- Kit gives spoilers for WW2
- Kit and Scott discuss the psychology and ableism inherent in The Traitors
- Scott is vexed by a greenhouse. Repeatedly.
- There’s an unusual amount of actual craft talk as well as lots of talk about upcoming writing
- There’s an exciting first where a citizen gets to put an entry into the Sandwich Shop of Dreams! And immediately makes the hosts hungry
- And then the very simple task of the playlist goes wildly off-topic, to the surprise of no one.

Apologies for the technical issues during this episode, Discord was having a tantrum, but we hope you enjoy it anyway!

Next up in Season 7 we had the delightful Adrian Tchaikovsky!

Amongst discussions of Adrian’s prolific writing we encounter:

- RJ attempting some rapping in the intro

- Scott telling a delightful anecdote about Buxton

- The long lost Bosch is mentioned purely for bingo purposes

- Segue rears its head again and almost annoys the guest. Almost.

- We took a deep dive into two of Adrian’s books

- And actual writing advice was discussed! (mostly to say how it’s generally useless)

Listen in for all this and more delightfully entertaining nonsense

Season 7's first guest episode kicks it off with Sunyi talking all things Star Trek, Farscape, Patrick Stewart’s biography and villains wearing BDSM clothes. RJ expresses his longing for ceremonial robes and his extremely controversial music opinions. There is some outstanding talk of Santa Jaws and The Velocipastor. Everyone is shocked by actual discussions of writing things and Kit brings things back to normal by predicting this episode would be released a month after recording.

Writeopolis returns for season 7 with a glorious host only episode!

In the season 6 finale, our intrepid band is joined by George Daniel Lea for the long-threatened Watership Down discussion! In true crossover fashion, the What The Hell Is Wrong With Us? digression aesthetic infects the show, to the delight of all (including a late-joining Kit). Stay tuned to the end for a shockingly correct announcement from RJ :)

No RJ! No guest! You know what that means... Scott and Kit bringing you all the Doctor Who talk you can possibly imagine you'd ever want, and then quite a bit more. And also other things, of course. But mainly... that. Enjoy!

This time out, accomplished, wise, and award winning fantasy author Justin Lee Anderson joins us in the Writeopolis bunker for a freewheeling chat that takes in Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes and his many, many incarnations, a legendary sandwich shop of dreams entry, and possibly the best Kaiju answer ever. Enjoy :)
