Those cybernetically augmented oddballs are back, and this time they're honoured to be joined by fantastic and award-winning science fiction writer Gareth L Powell! Gareth talks about his work, his new publishing imprint, and influences including William Gibson's Burning Chrome collection and uniquely weird short story The Game of Rat and Dragon by Cordwainer Smith.

Jon and Matt gush about one of their all-time favourite writers, including his many novels about the utopian Culture, erm, culture, as well as his other standalone books, into each of which Iain M Banks packed more ideas than most writers manage in an entire career - a legendary literary figure to whom the lads try to do justice in their usual rambling style!

What's our boggle? We'll tell you! Today, the Hosts are joined in this episode by Matthew A Goodwin, award-winning cyberpunk and science fiction writer, to discuss one of the greatest (and most underrated?) action blockbusters of the nineties: Demolition Man!! Tune in and be well... but watch out for the occasional violation of the verbal morality statute.

In their latest game of 'is it really cyberpunk though?', the Hosts are treating themselves to a fun and nostalgic chat about beloved space-slob comedy series, Red Dwarf! Tune in for random recollections of classic episodes, and some questionable impersonations...

One of the show's running gags is how many famed works of fiction co-Host Jon hasn't actually seen... for today's episode, featuring brilliant writer and Killtopia creator Dave Cook, co-Host Matt stapled Jon's eyeballs open and forced him to watch the entire Cowboy Bebop movie! Find out what Jon made of his first ever experience of this beloved anime, and how it influenced Dave's stellar work.

The boys test the definition of cyberpunk once again, but who'd begrudge them a chance to enthuse about one of their all-time favourite gaming franchises, as well as the planet-obliteratingly successful Amazon Prime series?? Tune in to listen to the third instalment of the Hosts' new series, which is really starting with a bang... and hear Jon's disturbing confession about a certain Grandma Sparkle.

A little bonus episode for you in the form of co-Host Jon reading an excerpt from his latest novel, Scarred. As a fantasy epic, it isn't strictly cyberpunk... or is it??

If this floats your boat (or hovercar, or rickety grafted-together spacecraft), find out more about the book by searching for Scarred online (it's available from all good online retailers), or learn about Jon's other books and projects by exploring his sinister website at www.jon-richter.com.

The Hosts are back, and this time they're... hosting! Specifically Tim Standish, a returning guest from season one and a brilliant writer of (Edwardian) cyberpunk. Tim last featured in our episode discussing the works of William Gibson, so who better to lead a deep dive into his novel The Peripheral, as well as the short-lived but gripping Amazon Prime adaptation?? Set your eardrum augments to 'gorge' mode!!
