An entertaining look at old and newer science fiction films, which are based on written works. Discussions focus on the source material as much as on the actual films themselves. The website includes a very useful section- Podcast Queue- which lists the books and films being considered for an episode as well as titles already dealt with. There is also an Archive organised chronologically by year, and links to related resources. Recent episodes include Netflix’s Love, Death and Robots (2019), The Wandering Earth (2019), The Seventh Victim (1943) and Millennium (1989).

This excellent resource documents the history of Pebble Mill Studios in Birmingham, from the building’s opening in 1971 to its demolition in 2005. The site features video interviews, stills and text about the history of the studios, with contributions from production staff, including directors, editors, producers, writers and camera operators. Amongst those interviewed are David Rudkin, who wrote the acclaimed Play for Today ‘Penda’s Fen’, who talks here about working with director Alan Clarke.
Searchable Transmission lists give a chronology of drama broadcast from BBC Pebble Mill between 1972-200. The listings include drama series Thirty Minute Theatre, Playhouse and Play for Today, listing transmission date, writer, producer and director. A slight caveat for users is that the material is presented in the form of a blog, so that entries are arranged chronologically, which can make searching difficult. The material is, however, broadly arranged in three categories: ‘Building’, ‘Television’ and ‘Radio’. The site was created by Vanessa Jackson, who worked at Pebble Mill from 1987 to 2004. She is currently (2014) Degree Leader in Television at Birmingham City University: the site is part of a research project to document programme making in the regions, and was been funded by Screen West Midlands. For copyright reasons no footage from the original BBC programmes is available on the site.

The official international broadcasting station of the Czech republic offers its programmes as podcasts in six different languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Czech and Russian. The station’s website features a wide range of content, covering current affairs, business, arts, culture, history and sport. The podcasts are available to be downloaded in mp3 format or can be streamed and archived material goes back as far as 2005. A typical example is this interview with head of the Czech National Film Archive, Michael Bregant, in which he explains how during the Communist era staff had to resort to subterfuge to hide and preserve valuable film materials from the authorities.
The podcasts are accompanied by summaries, full transcripts and illustrated with stills and photographs. The History section of the archive is particularly interesting with sections devoted to 1968, the communist era, World War II and Czech-German relations. There is also some interesting contextual material in the form of illustrated essays, including a history of Czech radio and a detailed look at the history of Radio Prague
