Part 1 of 2, with a BIG revelation to come in that second instalment!!!For News and all the extras and the podcast as a video cast, visit wildfur.net

EP011 - THE GREATEST GIFT
Festive fun! Santa hats are donned as we explore the tinsel-clad covers of Transformers comics past.A frivolous, festively-themed diversion sees (or hears) us go in-deep (as much as we ever go in-deep) on the subject of a British comics institution - the Xmas-themed cover and story, and the ones we've contributed to in Christmases past. Plus we wrestle with the greatest ever seasonal conundrum - is Die Hard a Christmas movie???S&ATo become a PRIME member for added bonus material and to see the pod as a videocast, visit wildfur.net

EP009 - Wild + Fur = Wildfur! Lot of thinking went into our first foray into self-publishing!
Circa 1999.With the bottom well and truly fallen out of the comic book industry we go headlong into IP development and self-publishing, and WildFur is born... somewhat out of desperation. We explore the steampunk world of The Engine: Industrial Strength, the imagination of Monster-Maker and a Geoff Senior project that never was - Ms. Matador. Plus a whole bunch of other stuff... Some of which went nowhere, some of which is still around today!S&ATo become a PRIME member for added bonus material and to see the pod as a videocast, visit wildfur.net

And what's the deal with this thing called Beast Wars?

Charting a 40-year stint in comics, TV animation, games and more, including - of course - a healthy discourse on the rise and fall and rise again of TRANSFORMERS, also now 40 years old. In a series of roughly chronological, informal chats, Furman and Wildman relive the ups and downs and highs of lows of the creative life, spotlighting key moments in their respective, and joint, careers - many of which, naturally, involve giant, transforming robots. Nothing is off-limits, as Furman and Wildman delve deep into their (unreliable) memories, presenting a humorous but warts and all story of life inside the comics biz that is still...
