Episode #23: Interview with Dr Ewan Kirkland (UCA Lecturer and Researcher)
Hey folks and welcome back to another edition of the CitizenWolf audio podcast!
In this last minute bonus episode of 2025 I talk to Dr Ewan Kirkland, senior lecturer of the University of Creative Arts based in Farnham. He has studied children's media for several years, including having written about and studied My Little Pony quite extensively. I first saw him at UK Ponycon earlier this year I asked him to take some time out of his busy schedule to talk about his studies.
Due to time constraints I wasn't able to cover everything I wanted to unfortunately this time around, however I aim to have Dr Kirkland on once again in the new year as there was so much I wanted to ask but we just didn't have time to cover, but what we did talk about was fascinating so please give this episode a listen :)
In this episode we talk about
Dr Kirkland's research on My Little Pony and Children's Media
The Brony Fandom
My Little Pony Conventions
Merchandise and Collectables and more

Hey folks and welcome back to another edition of the CitizenWolf audio podcast!
It has been a while folks I do apologise for the extended absence, life got in the way along with a bunch of health problems that prevented me from doing much of anything for a long time. Now I'm back with a brand new episode filled with vigour!
Here I talk to my good friend Synthetic Obscurity about our recent trip to Prague and Galacon in Germany.
In this Episode we cover:
Synthia's First Impressions of Galacon 2025
My Fear of Heights...
Bangin' churches...
Flaming dishes...
and much much more besides!
This episode was an absolute blast to record and I'm thrilled that I was able to convince Synthia to come on and discuss her trip with me. It was so fun and joyous and I hope you all give this silly podcast a listen.

Episode #21: Interview with Jarvy Jared (EOJ Writer and Composer)
PLEASE NOTE: THIS EPISODE DOES CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE
Apologies for the delay in the full release, I had a slew of technical problems with my editing software this time around which slowed everything down and caused several issues with the audio that I had to fix, mainly to do with tracks being the incorrect volume. I believe I have addressed these issues but apologies if any remain!
Hey folks and welcome back to another edition of the CitizenWolf audio podcast!
In this episode I interview Jarvy Jared, another significant alumni of the Elements of Justice project. He was the head writer and composer for (the majority of) case 2 and the entirety of Case 3. This interview was on the cards several months ago but due to other commitments we could only get together in April to actual record an episode.
This episode is the fourth in a series on The Elements of Justice (Phoenix Wright and MLP) fan project
In this episode we cover....
Jarvy's influences as a Writer and Composer
How Jarvy got involved with the EOJ project
How clocks continue to give him nightmares...
and many more besides...
This episode was a lot of fun to record and Jarvy's insights and contributions to the project were very enlightening. I have no idea if this will be the final episode that I do on EOJ but we shall just have to wait and see...
