Want to stimulate your brain without resorting to expensive, potentially dangerous cybernetics? Try Hosts In The Shell instead - it’s allegedly a #cyberpunk podcast but it’s really just two writers talking to cool guests about their favourite fiction 😎🦾 hostsintheshell.buzzsprout.c…

Give these guys a listen. You'll thank me later. ;)
It's good to be back!!! First episode out yesterday, and another recording just finished with the fantastically talented @TheEscherMan - watch this space for his episode and more info on his upcoming new book, which we reckon might just have the best title ever!?

We're back... and we've got a new theme tune!!! Staggeringly delighted to thank Bruce Bethke, the man who literally invented the word 'cyberpunk', for his musical masterpiece, and also delighted to be dismantling more pieces of cyberpunk media - Standalone Complex is the subject this time! We're moving to a WEEKLY episode schedule for season 3, so you can look forward to more regular chat, some brilliant guests including Bruce himself, and the usual shambolic-yet-charming production values!! Great to be back, and hope you enjoy the show 😊🥳🦾 shorturl.at/eAfpz

The cat's out of the bag! Last week, I got the chance to be interviewed by the amazing @Cleric20 and @richterwrites for one of their @HostsInTheShell podcast episodes! We talked about the movie Elysium, my first publication, Dissociation Delirium, and my upcoming saga of #cyberpunk novels! Had a great time! Thanks again for the invite, guys!
What’s the only thing better than finding out there’s a brilliant new cyberpunk writer in town?? Finding out they might be getting interviewed in an upcoming Hosts In The Shell episode too 🥳🥳🙌

Already 2 glowing reviews in for Dissociation Delirium, my first #cyberpunk #dystopian #scifi short story! Did you like Corpo V in @CyberpunkGame ? Did you catch a glimpse of corpo life and shudder at its potential consequences during the game? Then come read my story. You won't be the same afterwards! Only 2.99! @CP2077Community @edgerunners @HostsInTheShell @anna_mocikat amazon.fr/Dissociation-Delir…

Sounds like a topic for an episode in season 3… 🦾
FINALLY got round to watching all of Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex!! Really bloody loved it once I got into it - fantastic baddies, staggeringly complicated storylines, Batou being a cool badass and the Major being the Major 😍 Bravo!!

Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet lately with the pod on hiatus while co-Host @richterwrites gets his head around the concept of fatherhood… good job co-Host @Cleric20 got some tremendous merch printed up! 🥳🥰🥰

All good things come to an end… Have had a blast with my own Batou @richterwrites making our #cyberpunk podcast Season 2 - but while he cyberparents we take a break but we could be back for season III at some point - if you’re a cyber-creator who’d like to come on let us know!!
It's season finale time!!! 🦾😱😢 The Hosts close out season 2 by revisiting their favourite inspiration, this time specifically focusing on the Ghost In The Shell 2017 live action movie - has it aged like a fine cyber-wine, or rotted like an illegal bioware upgrade? Find out by tuning in! hostsintheshell.buzzsprout.c…
