UK train company Lner is excited to launch its brand-new podcast, Lner Kids Club, featuring fun and educational content designed to inspire and entertain children travelling on its services.

Available on board through the Lner digital portal, accessed by scanning the Qr code on the back of customers’ seats, and on all major podcast platforms, it offers an engaging selection of stories, interviews, games, and fun facts tailored for young listeners.

An array of voices can be heard across three fun filled episodes – from train drivers, station assistants, digital managers, British Transport Police officers and Lner Managing Director David Horne. Lner colleagues from across the business are asked questions put to them by a host of curious kids looking to find out more about the behind-the-scenes workings of the railway and learn about the surprising number of different jobs on offer at Lner.

Routes with Clara Amfo is a brand-new travel and entertainment podcast in collaboration with Lner, premiering on November 7, 2024. Clara dives into a world of travel tales with well-known faces including Tom Grennan, Candice Brathwaite, Babatunde Aleshe, and Arielle Free, as they explore what travel means to them—whether across the Lner East Coast Mainline or beyond.

Not your typical travel show, Routes is both relatable and aspirational. Clara asks her guests about the travel experiences that have shaped them. They discuss their biggest travel moments, childhood memories, career influences, their biggest ‘icks,’ and the weird and wonderful encounters they’ve had along the way.

In the first episode of Routes, Clara’s travel companion is Tom Grennan, who shares memorable travel moments from his life—starting with a very, memorable trip aged 9, a life-changing realisation in Stevenage, a London visit with his mum that kick-started his passion for music, and...

Yes, we’ve all lived before; when I come back I don’t care who I am as long as I’m in the 1%. When Michael Sarrazin reaches into a previous life his big sacrifice is to abandon the gorgeous Cornelia Sharpe for the gorgeous Jennifer O’Neill, arousing the suspicions of his wife in his previous life, gorgeous Margot Kidder. The show looks great, Jerry Goldsmith’s music is beautiful, but it runs up against real trouble in the script and directing departments.

Tron director Steven Lisberger discusses his experiences on Tron: Legacy

Steven Lisberger changed visual effects forever with his landmark sci-fi adventure Tron in 1982. 28 years later, he returned to produce the highly-anticipated sequel Tron: Legacy, which arrives on DVD, two-disc Blu-ray/DVD, four-disc Blu-ray/DVD/3D Blu-ray, and Tron: Legacy/Tron: The Original Classic five-disc Blu-ray on April 5. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment recently provided us with an interview with Steven Lisberger about his experience making Tron: Legacy. Here's what he had to say.

How long did it take to get the green light for Tron: Legacy?

Steven Lisberger: We started discussions at Disney about 11 years ago, but there have been rumors of a sequel for much longer than that. Over the years, I've seen numerous Disney executives go from black hair to grey - and the sequel itself has changed and gone through many different phases. When the...

At the beginning of the month we revealed a 10-minute video from the bonus features of next week's release of Tron: Legacy on Blu-ray and DVD which was entitled The Next Day: Flynn Lives, the events of which, bridge the original Tron to Tron: Legacy to a supposed Tron: Legacy Sequel.

Today, a new clip has been uncovered as an easter egg from the American Blu-ray release of the film and features David Warner's Edward Dillinger from the original Tron, and his son, Edward Dillinger Jr. played by Cillian Murphy in Tron: Legacy. This short clip features them talking on a chat service about the events of "The Next Day" and Sam taking over Encom.

The question is, will David Warner be back for the next Tron movie? The voice in the video sure sounds like him. You be the judge.
