Coming Attractions…

Hello! Just a quick, somewhat interstitial, post this week… as I just want to mention four things.

Firstly, I wanted to thank Judd Field again for chatting to me about his Millionaire Hot Seat experience in the interview that’s gone up here over the last few weeks. I really appreciate him giving such a detailed account of his adventure, and I hope that there were some nuggets of wisdom in there that YOU found helpful.

Secondly, I wanted to let you know about my first ever interview with a game show DIRECTOR. In the six years I’ve been running this site, I haven’t yet spoken to someone who calls the shots (literally) on a game show. Well, now that’s about to change. I can’t say too much at this stage, but the person I’ll be speaking to is a true industry veteran, who’s directed at least ten game shows, on every Australian TV network, dating all the way back to 1998! I’m really pleased he’s agreed to speak to me, I’ll be grilling him about all of them in detail, and getting as much information as I can about the world of game shows from his unique perspective up there in the control room…. If YOU have any questions you’d like to ask a game show director, I’d be more than happy to put them to him, on your behalf! Just let me know, in the comment section below.

Thirdly, a little heads-up about what I have in store for you over the next three weeks. I’m really pleased to be talking to my first ever Hard Quiz winner, Markos Hasiotis. Markos got in touch with me via Twitter (where he’s @FactBuffet – well worth following if you’re a trivia buff – and I’m tipping you are). For those of you unfamiliar with it, Hard Quiz is an Australian quiz show which tests its contestants on both their general knowledge and their knowledge of their own special subject… so if you’re keen on quizzing (of either the general or specific varieties) you should find lots of useful stuff in this interview.

And fourthly and finally, I just wanted to go off on a little tangent and remind you of my current – and ongoing – literary experiment for this year. I’m writing a rollicking science fiction comedy adventure story, and releasing a new chapter every Friday, over at www.TheStephenHall.com. 

I’m twelve chapters in now (nearly a quarter of the way), and it’s proving to be an extremely challenging, yet extremely rewarding (not to mention fun!) experience. Please consider popping over there and giving it a read, if you like that sort of thing.

Okay, that’s it for now. See you back here next Tuesday, with Part I of my exclusive interview with Hard Quiz winner Markos Hasiotis!

Until then, then!
