A YEAR ON THE RADIO: WOODSY AND WOTAN'S LATEST SWORDCAST

Our friend Bill Everatt from Radio Celtica has just produced and uploaded our latest SWORDcast. It is available in handy Podcast form on the Radio Celtica website. Just click here http://s124347079.websitehome.co.uk/NewCelts/swordcast.mp3

As per normal, it is a frothy and nutritious cocktail of vintage toys, pop culture references, TV and books with the usual dash of friendly banter and pithy stories . This month's cast has a particular focus on how Woodsy and Wotan got into Ebaying many many toys ago, the changes they have seen in toy collecting and the recent US TV show the Toy Hunter.

 

 

It is also something of a milestone this month as both Wotan Bill and I have been SWORDcasting for a year now with our pals at Radio Celtica as we did our first interview in August 2012 on Bill Everatt's monthly Underground Edition. From initially being Bill's guests, with his guidance and encouragement we have become Celtica presenters and editors in our own right culminating in Wotan Bill's own fascinating interview of Century 21's Ken Holt last month.

 

 

From initial trepidation we've both had an absolute ball! Adding an aural string to the blog's bow has brought a whole new dimension to things and has allowed us to communicate the spirit, fascination and fun of collecting to a new audience.

 

 

For Wotan Bill its been an amazingly revolutionary journey too, as since his first Tales of the Darkside story was aired on Celtica's show, Squaring the Circle,  he's been given a fabulous opportunity to write sci-fi stories and hear them professionally produced into radio plays!

 

 

Bill says "As a result of the encouragement and support of Bill Ev and Dave Carrington, I've just recently been accepted at University on BA. Hons. Creative Writing course! So a sincere thank you from me for everything."

 

 

In short we would just like to take this opportunity to thank our Celtica producer and friend Bill Everatt for all his support, patience and motivation along what has been an extremely interesting and fun-filled radio voyage for us both. We would also like to thank our blog readers who have tuned into Celtica as well and you're ongoing interest is greatly appreciated.

 

 

Last but not least, we would like to welcome Scoop on board our radio SWORDcast. He enjoyed his debut with us so much back in April that he is willing and able to do more. Expect further fascinating toy reports off Scoop from Glenn Field in the near future!

 

 

This is Operation SWORDcast!
