Meet the Team: Andy Martin

Today we have the next installment of our Meet the Planet Four Team series, featuring Andy Martin one of our Planet Four Talk moderators.

Name: Andy Martin

Where are you originally from/where did you grow up? 

Horndean in Hampshire, now own and run a campsite in Bude, Cornwall

What drew you to participate in Planet Four?

Being able to get up close and personal with the surface of another world

What is your role as a Planet Four Talk moderator?

I guess it’s to help people find their way around at Planet 4, answer the questions they have, which I only know the answers to because I asked the same thing when I started out. Hopefully we can encourage them to get involved and not be afraid to post, ask questions and put up their own theories about how things work. And of course I’ve got plenty of questions of my own to post 😉

What do you find interesting about Mars?

What i really like about the Planet4 project is that we are looking at what is still pretty much an unexplored world. There’s lots to look and wonder at, more questions than answers and no-one yet has the definitive line on everything going on with regard to the seasonal fans.

What is your favorite movie?

Animal House

What is your favorite book?

Lord of The Rings is the one I read again and again,

What is the song you currently can’t get out of your head?

The Dahlmanns cover of Amy Rigby’s “Dancing with Joey Ramone”, but I also have a repeat of 2 lines from James – Sit Down running through my head “If I hadn’t seen such riches, I could live with being poor”

What three albums would you take with you to a desert island?

Ohh toughie – Live albums any one from The Ramones – It’s alive/Green Day – Bullet in a Bible/Thin Lizzy – Live and Dangerous ; Wreckless Eric – Greatest Stiffs; Eddie and the Hot Rods – Teenage Depression

Favorite cocktail or beverage?

Youngs Double Chocolate Stout
