Time Leap 1: Date Me
I had a chat with Steve Howrie, the author of “Time Leap 1: Date Me”, his fabulous book about time travel. I’ve just produced the audiobook version for him. We talk about what influenced the book and the characters, the importance of writers groups for budding authors, his music and what to look forward to […]

What You China Say?
The recent decline in China’s currency, which has fuelled turmoil in Chinese stock markets and driven the government there to suspend trading twice, could have a dramatic knock-on effect in the UK. Poundland could end up selling cheap Chinese crap for LESS than a pound! Craic on! Listen to the latest Mack Nuggets at; http://www.mackmedia.co.uk/8th-mack-nuggets-audio-video […]

Drone Alone
Would you fly in a drone? A Chinese company claimed a world first last week by unveiling a drone capable of carrying a human passenger. After setting a flight plan, the passenger just has to give two commands – “take off” and “land”. They have no controls as a backup. The company is planning a […]

China Plate.
When the Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Manchester yesterday, they got the food wrong. On this trip they’ve been trying to introduce him to meals that are typically British. The day before, when he was taken to David Cameron’s ‘favourite’ pub in Buckinghamshire, he had Fish ‘n’ Chips. A special meal was prepared for him […]

What You China Say?
Why did Prince William make a direct television appeal to the people of China? It’s one of the most bizarre aspects of the state visit to Britain of the Chinese president Xi Jinping. Prince William was invited to speak on Chinese state TV about the issue of wildlife conservation. He was an odd choice as […]

What you China say?
Chinese burn, Chinese water torture, Chinese Whispers, why do so many Chinese things have a negative connotation? In the UK there’s a call for a ban on Chinese lanterns because they poison livestock, set fire to buildings and get mistaken for distress flares and UFOs. In America, there’s a nuclear meltdown scenario called “The China Syndrome”. […]

Panda Pop
When Tian Tian gives birth in Edinburgh Zoo, The People’s Republic of China will get a new panda. China owns all of the world’s pandas. They used to give them away as gifts in what was known as panda diplomacy. From 1958 to 1982, China gave 23 pandas to nine different countries. These days you […]
