The Awkward Controllers video game podcast presented by The BizzleCast

‘Up there with the best of them…A big, fat five stars from me’ Sue Moorcroft

‘An irresistible slice of escapism’ Phillipa Ashley 

 Grab your passport and escape to a land of dazzling skyscrapers, steaming bowls of comforting noodles, and a page-turning love story that will make you swoon!

For travel blogger Fiona, Japan has always been top of her bucket list so when she wins an all-expenses paid trip, it looks like her dreams are coming true.

Until she arrives in vibrant, bustling Tokyo and comes face-to-face with the man who broke her heart ten years ago, gorgeous photographer Gabe.

Fiona can’t help but remember the heartache of their last meeting but amidst the temples and clouds of soft pink cherry blossoms, can Fiona and Gabe start to see life – and each other – differently?

I love these books and have for all my life. I love this movie and am thrilled that so many fans AND non-fans are loving it too. Check out my intro as a BizzleCast quickie in a separate podcast but let’s not beat around the bush: this movie is spectacular, nearly flawless, and incredibly loyal to the source material in a way that somehow spoke to and was understood by folks totally new to this property, which is just as extremely high level of an achievement as making a good Dune movie. Buckle up in your thopter, get your shield on and your knife sharpened, and join me for a hell of a ride and a commentary I had a blast doing. You’ll be able to hear my giant grin as I talk about literally my favorite thing to talk about: DUNE!

The Stranger in Our Bed, By Samantha Lee Howe, Read by Jess Nesling

Books five and six of THE EXPANSE series – “Nemesis Games” and “Babylon’s Ashes” – by James S. Corey aka Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham are among, IMO, the greatest sci-fi writing of all-time, and while the TV series took a little while to get its legs, by these final two seasons we are doing all the commentaries for, they hit on all cylinders to give us both characters and spectacles we’d never forget.

The Song of the White Wolf

2018: AU’s awesomest nerd journalist Alaisdair Leith of Novastream and beyond returns to the podcast!! It’s been almost 15 years since I first spent time in Africa and fell in love with the people of the Light Continent, so I need all the perspective possible on what people new to African culture think of BLACK PANTHER. Luckily, I have awesome friends and colleagues coming on to talk about it, and it’s fitting that Alaisdair from Novastream Network is the first, as you’ll hear in a podcast that I still love to revisit and Alaisdair has some great insights that are even truer today.
