I’m thrilled to be a part of The X-Cast X-Files Podwatch, a daily snippet podcast rewatching the entirety of The X-Files between now and the launch of the new season. It is something of a spin-off of The X-Cast, a great X-Files podcast run by the charming Tony Black. Tony has assembled a fantastic array of guests and hosts to go through The X-Files episode-by-episode.
And now it’s getting twice as fast. With the new season of The X-Files dropping in very early January, the podwatch will be releasing two episodes per day. Starting with this one. So, no pressure, then.
My second appearance of the third season is covering the episodes Pusher and Teso Dos Bichos with Clara Cook. One of those episodes I adore and the other… I don’t. Guess which is which. Go on. This is my first episode with Clara, although we do a couple more before the end of the run. So keep your ears open for those.

My first appearance of the third season is covering the episodes Syzygy and Grotesque with the always charming Zach Moore. Arriving at a point when the third season was firing on all cylinders, these episodes have everything. Keystone cops! Gargoyles! Kurtwood Smith! Glass blowing! se7en homages! Baby Ryan Reynolds! Listen and enjoy.

My second appearance of the second season is covering the episodes Aubrey and Irresistible with the wonderful Zach Moore. I should be doing roughly one episode per season with Zach, who is a bit of a deft hand when it comes to podcast hosting and a shrewd eye when it comes to X-Files criticism. This episode is particularly worthy of note because I’m a big fan of Aubrey and find it somewhat overlooked and underrated.

My first appearance of the second season is covering the episodes Red Museum and Excelsis Dei with the always insightful Christopher Knowles. I do a couple of episodes with Chris over the course of the podwatch, and very few people understand the workings of the show, its symbolism and its fascinations, as thoroughly as Chris. It was a joy recording these episodes, and I hope it’s as much fun listening to them.
As readers may be aware, I published a book of X-Files criticism this year. The book is called Opening the X-Files, it is published by McFarlands Press, and it comes with a foreword from the great Kumail Nanjiani.
Tony Black very generously invited my on The X-Cast to talk a little bit about the book, and maybe answer some questions about where it came from and what it’s about. It was, as ever, a pleasure and I was very glad of the opportunity. You can hear the podcast below.
In the meantime, if you do want to order yourself a copy of Opening the X-Cast, it is available at the following links.

My second appearance comes in the second half of the first season, covering the episodes Young at Heart and E.B.E. with the great Zack Moore. He does an amazing Jerry Hardin impression. Give the episode a listen below, and keep your ears open. I should be back a few more times before the podwatch wraps up.

Just a quick link to a recent (unscheduled) guest appearance over on The X-Cast, a great X-Files podcast run by the prolific Tony Black.
In the first of a two-parter experience, I had the pleasure of an extended conversation with Tony about Colony. It was a huge honour, given the importance of Colony in the overall mythology of The X-Files. We got to talk about all sorts of fun things, from Chris Carter’s recurring fascination with Frankenstein to nineties television direction to how hard it must be for the Alien Bounty Hunter to shop for clothes. I will also be back next week to talk about End Game with Tony. Check it out the episode here, or click the link below.

I got to return to the show to talk about the second part of the series’ (and the podcast’s) first two-part episode, Ascension. Wherein we discuss the unrelenting forward momentum of the second part of X-Files two-parters, the recurring sense that Krycek thinks all of this is just a little bit beneath him, and the joy of Roger Moore style stunt sequences. As ever, it was my pleasure to appear on the show, and Tony was as wonderful a host as ever. Check it out the episode here, or click the link below.

I had the privilege of guesting on the show to talk about the first two-part episode of the series in the first two-part episode of the podcast. First up, Duane Barry. Wherein we discuss the directorial debut of Chris Carter, the point of intersection between The X-Files and regular procedurals, and the vandalism of supermarket scanners. Once again, it was a joy to appear on the show, and Tony was as gracious a host as ever. Check it out the episode here, or click the link below.
