Review of the Agents of SHIELD pilot on Digital Fix! Whedon + Marvel = Genius?
As you may know, today is also the last day of September, so if you fancy voting for a couple of Hobson & Choi chapters to jump us up the monthly Jukepop chart, absolutely do that. Cheers folks.
This week, Hobson & Choi both take a few steps out of their depth, ending up with them meeting an important new person in an important new place. Meanwhile, my phlegmy cough has entered a particularly annoying phase, leading to a fairly brief outro.
As promised in the show itself, the Twitter username for Daniel Ruiz Tizon is Available is @1607WestEgg. Check out his tweets and podcast.
You can play the episode in the player below, download the MP3 here or subscribe on iTunes to have it thrown at you every week. Or if you hate iTunes on principle, you can point your RSS reader at our Libsyn page to get every episode.
As ever, you can read the prose serial at Jukepop Serials. September ends tomorrow and the charts/votes are tallied, so if you want to vote up a few chapters, I'd be greatly appreciative.
But whatever way you want to experience H&C, that's ultimately fine with me.

Review of the very first Atlantis episode on Dork Adore! Is it better than Merlin?
Yes, the first of these new shows I was talking about reviewing. Another one to follow tomorrow. But before that, the next Hobson & Choi podcast should be up this evening!
In other news, new TV shows are starting up! So you'll be seeing some different items appearing here, including one that you've probably guessed already.
I'm pretty chuffed with this one, hope you folk also like it. And yes, this means next week we splash into the uncharted territory of Case Two. Bloody hell.
Also, we're coming to the end of September, so if you have a second to vote for a few chapters to help us up the Jukepop monthly top 30, all appreciated. Cheers.
And meanwhile, the podcast rumbles on, we've hit episode four! Get the subscription links and such in the most recent podcast post here.
Lot of business there, I know. Hope you're all well. I'm excited by all this, I really am.
New Breaking Bad review on The Digital Fix! Penultimate episode ever! Repent!
This has actually been up since 9AM, but I've only just posted it due to my shattered exhausted sleeping. Been an odd week.
Dexter has finally finished. Sadly, my reaction is mainly relief. Review up now on The Digital Fix.
And yes, I normally review these shows in a different order - I fancied doing Dexter first, plus it seems more newsworthy. Breaking Bad tomorrow.
Fourth episode of the podcast! This is definitely happening now. The download figures have picked up this week, I've even had a complimentary tweet about the show, so thanks to all listening. Now, this episode...
Hobson takes over the narration, as he bullies the only available witness through some murderous backstory. Featuring dry blood and a sandwich. Meanwhile, backstage, this week I have a sore throat but still find some authorial insight to lay down.

As ever, you can read the prose serial at Jukepop Serials, where the first case has just concluded. All action over there.
Hobson & Choi Podcast #4 - Dry Blood by Nick Bryan on Mixcloud
And yes, the next Hobson & Choi podcast is coming this afternoon. Ready yourselves, which I guess means listen to the previous ones.
Orphan Black preview on The Digital Fix! Starts tonight on BBC Three!
Or, if you're in America or a user of The Pirate Bay, you've already seen the whole thing. Ah well.
Or if you want to be 29 weeks behind in audio format, there's also a Hobson & Choi podcast which you can get here.
The end of the month is also approaching, so do vote for us on Jukepop too. We have charts to top and stuff. Cheers very much!
Two blog posts today covering two separate sites and areas of media...
And meanwhile, over in comics:
I review Celtic Warrior, a graphic novel retelling an ancient Celtic myth, over on Many A True Nerd.
And now, I'm off to spend the day working on Hobson & Choi. Remember, the third podcast is out now.
Podcast #3! It's now a trilogy! Until the fourth part next week, when we can use the weird made-up word "Quadrilogy". If we want. Anyway, what's in the show this week?
Our heroes meet a crowd of press, their first suspect and Choi finds a way to hate Subway sandwiches. All true. Meanwhile, in the back matter, I am hungover but struggling on. I also mention H&C being close to 1000 votes on Jukepop and ask people to go vote, only for it to go over 1000 literally while I was typing this blurb. Oh well. Can't complain.

As ever, you can read the prose serial and help jack the votes up even higher at Jukepop Serials, where we've got 31 whole chapters up.
Hobson & Choi Podcast #3 - Doorstep Challenge by Nick Bryan on Mixcloud
It's both fun and pressuring writing these big climactic chapters. But don't worry, the comedic arguing will recommence soon. In the meantime, check out the new part and vote for as many chapters on Jukepop as you feel able. Never too early to consider the September charts.
And if you missed it, there's now a Hobson & Choi Podcast where I read out edited versions of the chapters from the beginning. More details here.
Dexter continues, as does my frustration with its quite slow ending. Review on The Digital Fix!
AND
An introduction/retrospective/futurespective about Marvel 2099 on Many A True Nerd!
And Hobson & Choi later too. Whole lot of stuff today.
The Newsroom season two begins its finale! Review of part one on The Digital Fix.
Tiring week in the real world, but don't worry guys: the TV reviews are still on time! And Hobson & Choi should continue tomorrow also.
New Breaking Bad review on Digital Fix! Action! Cliffhanger anatomy!
Yeah, be a sad day for my review routine when that show finally ends.
The second Hobson & Choi podcast is with us! We're now officially not a one-hit wonder! Can we get past the difficult second episode, though?
Anyway, this week: Angelina Choi explains to her new boss why he has to fight a wolf and what their social media strategy is. And what "social media" is. Can she land the pitch? And in the Author's Notes section: why am I crying in a bin? All this and more!

Hope you like. More next week, and if you hate audio or badly want to know what happens next, episodes up to #30 are up on Jukepop too.
Hobson & Choi Podcast #2 - #HobsonVsWolf by Nick Bryan on Mixcloud
Basically, the podcast is now up, running and launched, after some brief technical issues! Me reading an edited version of each H&C chapter from the beginning, plus notes/insight afterwards! You can find it on iTunes by either searching my name or clicking here, or if you hate Apple, you can subscribe to the RSS/grab the original files from the Libsyn page. It's also streaming on MixCloud.
Back on Jukepop, we were #14 in the August top 30! Pretty good guys, best result yet in fact. Thanks to everyone who voted. Now, hopefully with some podcast-momentum, onwards to September!
Hectic day in TV blogging as a load of work flies up in a single mass...
And secondly, from our retrospective department:
That's all for now. Big Hobson & Choi update later! Lots of news!
Latest Breaking Bad review on The Digital Fix! More from the Hank/Walt/Jesse love triangle!
Yeah, coming up with bad things to say about that show is becoming a challenge. Still, can't complain.
First blog of the new week, more to come, etc. And if anyone missed the Hobson & Choi podcast, you can listen to it here. Full release with iTunes and such to come soon hopefully - technical issues continue, probably not to be resolved until the US have returned from the Labor Day holiday. ("Labour" typo intentional.)
