Amongst the things I managed to get done today was editing the audio from the first BristolCon Fringe Reading event. The two podcasts are available below. The readers are Myfanwy Rodman and Gareth L. Powell. I host the event.

As you’ll hear, we had a lot of background noise. That shows you how many people were there. For next time we are hoping to have a proper sound system, and to route the signal directly from the amp to the recorder.

I was, of course, delighted to be able to introduce someone else called Myfanwy. She’s good too. You can tell she’s got a creative writing degree, and I’m pleased to say she has a story in Airship Shaped and Bristol Fashion.

Those of you from outside the UK may not have heard much about Ack-Ack Macaque. Gareth gave us the first ever reading from the forthcoming sequel, Hive Monkey. There is no poo-flinging in the chapters he reads, but there is quite a bit of violence and swearing. That monkey is a character, alright.
