Talking Dragon Age

Now that COVID-time has flattened everything, I have returned to my comfort blanket – Dragon Age.

I’m mid-way through the game series at the moment, Dragon Age 2. While doing some further reading, I read Aimee Hart’s article for Gayming Magazine Here's Why You Should Play Dragon Age 2, Like, Right Now.

I reached out to Aimee who agreed to chat all things Dragon Age for the latest episode of Hopscotch Friday.

Dragon Age 2 from Bioware.

While I think of it, I want to feature some previous interviews I’ve hosted on the podcast:

• Craig Cormick and Harold Ludwick on their book On A Barbarous Coast

• Peadar Ó Guilín on his novels The Invasion and The Call

• Maura McHugh on her Midnight Movie Monograph about Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me

• Rob Lloyd on his one-man show Invasion of the Body Snatchers

• Christian Read on his novel Nil-Pray

• Paul Doherty on his book (with Cody Cassidy) And Then You're Dead – A Scientific Exploration of the World's Most Interesting Ways to Die

Podcast interview

Thanks to Anthony Pollock for the pleasant chat on his podcast Soda and Telecast, available on Apple podcasts and Spotify.

In this episode we talk about:

• my comics writing

• collaborating with Jeferson Sadzinski, Dave Dye, Ele Jenkins

• Dave's appearance on Deconstructing Comics

• and finally the main event, all things Penny Dreadful.

And yes that includes John Logan's return to the property with Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.
