Spend time with us!

Join Hosts Ellen Cheshire, James Clarke and Paul Tonks, as they step into the fascinating world of time travel in the movies with Excellent Adventures: The Time Travel Movie Podcast. There'll be in-depth analysis of feature films, alongside shorter mini-adventures exploring all things timey-wimey.

Each main episode will feature a discussion on the film's plot, production and historical contexts, its twists, paradoxes, and scientific concepts. The bite-sized mini-adventures will be a mix of interviews, reviews, essays where we can venture into the wider world of time related storytelling.
