The Blank Screen on Croydon Radio

Hear about the origins of The Blank Screen on Croydon Radio's show From Croydon to Gallifrey, now online as a podcast here.

Janet went to Birmingham to interview William Gallagher author of the Big Finish latest release SCAVENGER as well as The Demons of Red Lodge and Other Stories, Wirrn Isle and Spaceport Fear. William also talks about a new Blake's 7 related book to be published soon.

Doesn't sound like it's about The Blank Screen, does it? But that also doesn't tell you that I got to choose some great music.

You can nip straight to my first appearance at about 30 minutes but then The Blank Screen and how it all began is around 90 minutes in.

UPDATED WITH AUDIO: The Blank Screen on BBC Radio WM today

15:48 Listen to the show here: 25 minutes, MP3 And the book we talk about is my The Blank Screen (UK edition)

12:17 GMT UPDATE I had a blast on BBC Radio WM. If the listeners who phoned in had half as good a time, then they were robbed. Audio to follow later UPDATE ENDS

Just a quick note to tell you that I'm going to be on BBC Radio WM's Adrian Goldberg show some time between 11am and noon talking about The Blank Screen book and how we writers can get going, can get off our backsides and write.

BBC Radio WM is the Corporation's local station for Birmingham and the West Midlands. I actually started my career there doing work experience in the 1980s so it's always a particular treat to be on it.

If you read this before 11am GMT then you can catch it streaming live and I'll update this with a link afterwards.

Always assuming I don't make an eejit of myself in it.

The Blank Screen book:
UK paperback
USA paperback

Evernote CEO interview part 2

Finally! I’d forgotten this was coming, it’s been so long since the first half. But here’s part 2 of AllThingsD’s interview with Phil Libin of Evernote:

Evernote CEO speaks

Interesting interview with Phil Libin, Evernote’s CEO, on AllThingsD:

I have some niggles with Evernote yet it’s so very good so much of the time that I am a fan. Not sure I’d buy an Evernote-branded wallet – they do now exist and this interview is in part about such things – but next time I’m looking for a scanner, the odds are it will be the one mentioned in here.

That is, if it’s available in the UK by whenever that is. Currently Evernote Market, as their new shop is called, is US-only.

But Evernote itself is available everywhere and there’s a lot in this interview about its aims and uses.
