This week’s edition of the Gerry Anderson Podcast launched on Monday, and featured the first half of an interview with writer Roland Moore, who discusses his work on the Big Finish audio adaptation of Space:1999! If you prefer to stick with traditional audio-only rather than our new and improved video format you can still catch it (and all other previous episodes) every week either through our website or via your podcast platform of choice.
Also new this week over on the Gerry Anderson Randomiser Podcast (also available on all podcast platforms) Steve Zodiac resorted to unorthodox methods to unmask a gang of crooks, in the Fireball XL5 episode The Robot Freighter Mystery!
