This week’s edition of the Gerry Anderson Podcast launched on Monday, and featured the first part of an interview with puppeteer – and the voice of Zippy, George, Sooty and more – Ronnie Le Drew! If you prefer to stick with traditional audio-only rather than our new and improved video format you can still catch it (and all other previous episodes) every week either through our website or via your podcast platform of choice.

Also new this week over on the Gerry Anderson Randomiser Podcast (also available on all podcast platforms) The Protectors enter the world of movie-making as they investigate The Insider!
