Yes, your favourite vampire podcast saga (I hope) begins its fifth season, carrying on from the exact spot where Season Four left off. No spoilers, but suffice it to say that David Flinch was in a very tight spot.
The episode is available in my podcast feed at Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. If you aren’t subscribed (shame on you) just search for my name and “Underwood” and you’ll find it. It’s called “Underwood and Flinch and Other Audiobooks by Mike Bennett“.

The latest episode of The Mike Bennett Podcast is now online and available in your podcast app. In it, I chat with Australian author and podcaster Myke Bartlett about his return to podcasting and the world of Salmon and Dusk.
Many may remember Myke’s podcasts How to Disappear Completely and Electricity from the days of the much-missed free audiobook library, Podiobooks. The good news is, Myke is now back podcasting again with a new version of How to Disappear Completely and plans to expand the Salmon and Dusk universe in years to come. So give our interview a listen. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Hey! Are you an Instagram user? If you are, why not take a look at my profile – and maybe follow me there? It’s not endless selfies or pics of my dinners, instead, it’s views of my ordinary day-to-day world. Exciting? No. Interesting? Maybe.
Here’s a sample of my recent shots. I hope you like them, and that you’ll come and join me over at the Gram, or Insta, or whatever cool people call it. This is me: https://www.instagram.com/mikebennettauthor/ Huzzah!
Hi. I have a new podcast online in which I talk about why this site recently went weird (big red Google warning slapped on it), my unknown allergy, where I am with my writing at the moment, getting inexplicably weepy about Princess Diana in 1997, and naturally, Pauline and I discuss what’s been on our TV lately. You can listen to the episode on your podcast app of choice, or listen right now by clicking this link: Listen to “MBP November 2023” on Spreaker.

I just posted the first episode of a new monthly show: The Mike Bennett Podcast (it took me seventeen years of podcasting to think of that title). It’s a “me talking about stuff” podcast, and this first one features an update about what’s going on with me, the latest on the possible U&F TV series, and some listener feedback I received regarding the “cut scene” episode from U&F Season 4. It was the one where Ronnie Bishop told David about an old flame called Isobel May, who disappeared after becoming involved with a mysterious (vampire) figure called “Vincent”. So if you’ve unsubscribed from my podcast, resubscribe to get plugged back in. I’ll be posting a new podcast every month from now on.
Also, I ask a listener question in the show: Which Actress Would You Like to See Cast as Lydia Flinch? Do you have anyone you can see in the role? Someone who always “plays” Lydia in your head whenever you hear her in U&F? If so, I’d love to hear from you.
If the show ultimately gets the green light, I’ll pass on all the listener feedback on this to the TV people. It would be so cool if U&F’s listeners could actively influence who gets cast in the role (assuming it gets greenlit, of course. We live in hope) 🧛🏼♂️
You can leave your Lydia casting feedback either here (if you have a WordPress account), SubStack, Twitter, or Facebook.
Season 8? It’s complicated. Basically, it will go like this … Season 1 – Underwood and Flinch Season 2 – Blood and Smoke Season 3 – Underground Part 1 Season 4 – Underground Part 2 Season 5 – Underground Part 3 Season 6 – Underground Part 4 Season 7 – The Devil of Claverton and so now … Season 8. Starting today at my Patreon. There’s no book title yet as it’s still a work in progress.
It’s a big one! Over an hour of Season Finale goodness. Check your podcast app, or click here for a direct stream/download: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/53655677
A while ago I used the A.I. art generator, DALL-E, to create some images of Underwood and Flinch. The results were … er … not good, and caused much amusement among U&F fans at Facebook. For that reason, I’m now sharing the whole nightmarish gallery in a video at YouTube. Take a look, but be warned, you can’t un-see some of this stuff 😄
