Hi, it's producer Chris from the Bugle here. Did you know that I have a new series of my podcast,

Richie Firth Travel Hacker, out now. It's the show where Richie Firth and I talk about how to make

travel better in our very special way. In this series, we discuss lime bikes, Tesla's, the London

Overground and a whole bunch of other random stuff that possibly involves

wheels or tracks or engines of some variety. God, what a hot sell this is. I mean, you must be so

excited. Listen now.

Oh, hello, strangers.

Friends, I haven't met yet.

Enemies I've not yet engaged in revenge quests against.

Let me put down this sword, put this wet dragon away, and welcome you in.

This is realms unknown where science fiction and fantasy collide in the imaginative imaginarium that we call a podcast studio.

I'm Alice Frazier, your guide to the galaxies, goblins, dungeons and dystopias.

We'll be hurling ourselves into a weekly hero's journey through realms unknown, into the dark but sensual heart of all our favourite speculative fictions.

But it's not all fun and problematic dwarven games. With you, our trusty band of ruffians and a cast of regular guest questers,

we'll navigate the wild realms created by brilliant authors, filmmakers, game designers and more.

We will share emerging sub-genres, old passions, tropes, trends, and all the big questions,

like, which elves are the sexiest elves?

The answer is space elves.

Why does this TV adaptation suck?

Why do dystopian city planners always choose quadrants as the subdivision?

Why do authors never call coffee coffee, even though the drink they're describing is clearly

coffee?
