Artist, designer, writer, and man of extraordinary imagination Dominic Wilcox calls in for a chat about his latest creations which include bread lampshades and helium-powered crisp packets. We also find out what Leila would've tweeted had she still been on Twitter, and Roo starts feeling festive at the South Bank's Christmas fair. Oh, and you remember Alice Bartlett from episode 50? Of course you do. She pops up again this week, armed with snacks from Tobago. As ever, our snacking snack king Dave Green is holding the cutlery.
We're honoured to be joined by artist, designer, and general imaginer of wonderment, Dominic Wilcox this week. Read about him on his site, and be sure to come back here on Thursday for the full-length audio episode.
Leila went to R3PLAY, the enormous retro-gaming event in Blackpool, and has returned armed with interviews with loads of people, including Sensible Soccer creator John Hare, Adam from the National Museum of Computing, and retro computing enthusiast off-the-telly Iain Lee.
Back at Shift Run Stop Towers, our snackfood correspondent Dave Green takes us on a gastronomical voyage to far-off lands, and Roo shares the coolest thing he's seen all week.
Leila went to the R3PLAY retrogaming expo in Blackpool last week, and has returned armed with interviews - including this one of retrogaming fan and star of telly and radio, Iain Lee. This, plus snacks, chat and all the usual shenanigans this Thursday on Shift Run Stop.
We welcome another ridiculously talented guest this week, in the form of acclaimed screen actorAndy Nyman. The horror aficionado joined us on his only night off from the West End hit Ghost Stories, which he wrote and stars in - though you might also remember his turn as the deliciously aggressive Patrick in Charlie Brooker's zombie satire Dead Set. He's a magician too, and for the past decade has worked closely with Derren Brown.
Elsewhere, snack informant Dave shares some Swiss treats courtesy of listener Phil "Neorf" North, and Leila returns from R3PLAY in Blackpool with tales of a retrogamer paradise.
Andy is a modern polymath. Award winning actor, star of stage (most recently, his very own West End hit Ghost Stories) and screen (Black Death, Death at a Funeral, Severance etc etc ). You probably saw him stealing scenes in Charlie Brooker's Dead Set... and he's Derren Brown's right-hand man.
