I’ve been going at it with video creation lately. (YouTube.com/@andrewluke)

13 in September on Patreon: micro-reviewing Always Sunny, weekly for 82 weeks now, go me. Press Gang video essays, which is turning up some odd links and as I finish Series 2 is painting a picture of a show marrying reliable industry veterans with fresh new talent. The project of reading all of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld for the first time continues. On top of that I’m rolling out videos from the Caption Comics Festival on a Friday. Today a great piece on Sustaining Safe Spaces which was supremely enriching to chair, perhaps my favourite panel at the event. That joins a Broken Frontier creators to watch panel, a presentation by Daniel Merlin Goodbrey on the Herts MA in Digital Comics, and on Saturday, my own lightning talk on Absence: A comic about epilepsy.

On October 29th I debut an experimental passion project of a few years thought. Screencleaner aims to be a weekly current affairs magazine show, hosted by me, aiming to burst with attitude, humour, knowledge and authenticity… Emphasis will be on news and politics but I will be including TV, comics, music, games, films, whatever else floats my boats.

Charlie Brooker’s various Wipe series might be a good comparison to hang it on. Like those I’ll be bringing in a half dozen guests to help me. Not sure who I can announce until its done but I feel secure in saying David ‘Indytruckdavy’ McGuinness will be there, he of omnipotent Scots politics YouTubery with morning newspaper reviews and twice weekly ‘The Two Davies’ show. I also have the support of Jenny and Alex of Random Scottish History. With Screencleaner ep. 1 going out around Halloween Jenny will be talking about horror films she loves. Alex has turned in the show’s theme music and is designing the series logo which I hope to show off soon. All this makes me feel better about the terrifying prospect of the venture.

Anyhue, here’s a list of the videos I’ve published across September for your interest,
