Time for Cakes and Ale came from a simple idea – what if we took the best parts of a convention and turned them into a podcast? Whether it’s meeting new creatives or catching up with old friends, jumping into deep-dive discussion panels or late-night chats in the bar that go on until sunrise, we wanted to bring together all the elements we enjoy and shine a light on the art that we love.
In our main podcast you’ll find interviews with authors, artists, game developers and much more, together with episodes where we dive into recent movies, comics, books and games that we enjoy. Episodes of The Tally Ho take a long journey through the world of The Prisoner, with in-depth episode discussions, interviews with cast and crew of the original show, and chats with many brilliant creatives who have released work about – or inspired by – the show. Time for Cherry Pie and Coffee is a wild ride through Twin Peaks. Older episodes were recorded week-by-week as Season 3 aired in 2017, and the podcast now goes back to look at the themes of the show as a whole, talking to many other passionate fans along the way. Finally, our Homebrew episodes from 2020 talk to artists, writers, musicians and fans about life in lockdown.
