First Anniversary Episode, Part I (Guest Hosts: Christopher Moore and Alasdair Stuart)
So here we are, one year into our ongoing search for Literary Gold and we were wondering how we can celebrate. The answer came from long-time fan Peter Ellis… workshop our OWN stories (thanks, Peter)!
We have the remarkable Christopher Moore – author of exquisite tales of satirical humor – returning to the Big Chair, and we wheel in a second Big Chair for our Special Co-Guest Host and veteran RTP Host Alasdair Stuart! With this astonishing Duo of Awesomeness we are primed for some epic story workshopping… of Brion’s story idea!!
Alasdair Stuart
Brion’s tale of a dystopian post-apocalyptic horror serves as a marvelous opportunity not only to explore a very cool story idea, but also to observe how two masters of their craft approach the same story terrain. The end result is an intricate tapestry of concept and perception woven densely with threads of Literary Gold.

Alasdair Stuart leaps across the Atlantic Ocean to take a seat at the Roundtable and help workshop a story by the host of the New Fiction Writers podcast, Tony Whitford. Tony offers up the tale of a down-on-his-luck government agent who stumbles upon an alien serial killer which proves to be fertile ground for a fabulous discussion.

20 Minutes with Alasdair Stuart
Alasdair Stuart
Alasdair Stuart quietly sits down to the roundtable and – with wit and laughter – makes it all okay. While his talents are diverse and potent – including narration, writing and blogging, editing, and game design – it is his ability express the essence of whatever topic is on the table with honesty and warmth that is his distinguishing super-power. During this (more-than-20-minute) episode, Alasdair shares insights into what makes a story memorable, how to extract and express a theme, reveals the “true” essence of the Isle of Man, and single-handedly ends the Genre Wars.

I grew up on the Isle of Man, a small rock in the middle of the Irish Sea whose main exports are fish, scrap iron and generations of children desperate to escape, and yet, strangely drawn back a few years later.
I haven’t been yet, but there’s still time I suspect.
In the meantime I work for magazines like Neo, How It Works and Comic Heroes as a writer and reviewer, something which enables my geeky little former comic store manager’s heart no end. I also write gaming material, most notably for the Doctor Who roleplaying game where the full length adventure in the main rulebook, ‘Arrowdown’ appeared. I’m doing more of that shortly too.
I also blog for SFX.co.uk, edit Hub magazine and am in the process of working on losing a lot of weight. I’m two weeks into training in Muay Thai kickboxing and so far I’m not Batman but, give me a couple of months and Gotham will be safe…
