    It's a shame he's not up for it. I'd love to hear him reflecting upon his career to date. C'est la vie etc etc...

    I don't agree but that's pretty much what he said.
    I don't agree either.

    I think the interview format is viable on any media platform , and if anything the net makes a show like mine possible, because it reaches fans from all over. we've seen it go from print, to radio, to TV, and now the net.

    he, and others think radio is "dying"? sorry but that's a crock of shit.

    radio and TV are absolutley changing, but they will not die.

    Well, as a listener from Cork in the deep south of Ireland, I can only agree with your point about what the net makes possible. Without it, I would not be aware of your show and I would have been denied I don't know how many wonderful interviews with creators. It sounds like Warren Ellis is being contrary for the sake of being contrary, which, if true, is a bit of a shame. He's a brilliant writer (though I suspect Bill Willingham wouldn't be a fan!) and a career retrospective would surely make for great listening. But if he has gone on the record with his views, presumably he won't do a 180. That's a pity!
