<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Breakfast in the Ruins is now broadcasting across the multiverse as an internet radio station!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's early days and I'm still figuring the technicalities out so it's not in any public directories yet but it is up and running and you can find old school radio player feeds and other basic info <a href="https://breakfastintheruins.com/radio/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. This will get our stuff out there on a rolling 24/7 basis, and also do the same for some of our creative pals and patrons like <a href="https://sonusrocks.bandcamp.com/album/worlds-undreamed-of">SÖNUS</a>, <a href="https://metalcorum.bandcamp.com/">Corum</a>, Giantkind and N?ND, as well as any other folks that want to join in.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>More info to follow as I figure all of this out, but stay tuned for details on the <a href="http://breakfastintheruins.com/radio">dedicated radio page</a>!</p>

It's got everything. Bad pronunciation, silly names and nudity.
Phil returns to the co-host chair, we drink an old old-Fashioned or two and draw comparisons between Noonos and Grimsby, adding that ancient port-town to our list of mildly insulted settlements.STIMBOT5000http://www.blogger.com/profile/07506680822621799817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555994255553515968.post-83913698053410844542020-06-18T22:38:00.001+01:002020-06-18T22:43:48.506+01:00<h2>

<br />
One of the twitter gang tipped me off a few weeks ago that December 18th is Michael Moorcock's birthday. It took a while for the penny to drop, but when it did and my brain was penetrated by the copper and grub of ten thousand grasping fingers, I was taken aback for a second.<br />
<br />
December 18th is also my brilliant and long-suffering partner Phil's birthday, so I made her read something because CONTENT!<br />
<br />
So happy birthdays all around!!!STIMBOT5000http://www.blogger.com/profile/07506680822621799817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555994255553515968.post-77704905660059153512019-11-25T21:40:00.001+00:002019-11-25T21:41:11.387+00:00Breakfast in the Ruins Podcast Episode 03 - Elric of Melniboné (Book One)<iframe title="Elric of Melniboné Part One" height="122" width="100%" style="border: none;" scrolling="no" data-name="pb-iframe-player" src="https://www.podbean.com/media/player/ugp2j-c8bee6?from=yiiadmin&download=1&version=1&skin=9&btn-skin=102&auto=0&share=1&fonts=Helvetica&download=1&rtl=0&pbad=1"></iframe>
Loz is back with me at Derry and Tom's as we tackle the 1972 novel Elric of Melniboné.
We have a few drinks and muse upon Elric's early pre-wanderer, Stormbringerless years on the Ruby Throne of Imrryr.
We also ponder the news of a possible Elric TV show and attempt to get comfortable on Lord Shark's Ostentatious Couch (spoiler, we don't).

Moorcock discussion? Check!
Moorcroft? Sure, why not!
Bagging small English towns? Check!
Dogs wagging tails? Check and check!

Note: The bulk of this was recorded before Episode One, so we're already entering into the true spirit of Moorcock by confusing our own internal chronology.STIMBOT5000http://www.blogger.com/profile/07506680822621799817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555994255553515968.post-63515204647549363492019-10-13T07:45:00.000+01:002019-11-25T21:45:18.768+00:00Breakfast in the Ruins Podcast Episode 01 - Elric Part 1 - The Dreaming City<br />
