Chris and Alice tell the story of their experiences around Alice's hit book A Passion For Passion. A book that has generated over £50,000 in sales (maybe much more), yet we have barely seen a Penny. We tell the story of the publishers Unbound and Boundless who collapsed in debt, having failed to deliver for us (and a bunch of other authors).BUT, we won't give up. We'll fight for our money, and we have released it, in full as an Audiobook, available now... https://www.thebuglepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join comedian Eleanor Morton as she hilariously navigates the world of sci-fi and fantasy tropes. Hear her share an amusing tale about actors on set, the impact of iconic films like The Matrix on fashion, and reflect on the attraction to brooding characters. Eleanor critiques the portrayal of women in Harry Potter, bringing up its competitive undertones, while also calling out male writers' biases in character creation. From discussing fingerless gloves to the charm of tomboyism, this conversation is witty and thought-provoking!
