Wha? Yeah, I know. Talking about the many creative projects forthcoming, a thoroughly uninteresting contest, and discussing exactly what the Star Wars Prequels accomplished.
Wha? Yeah, I know. Talking about the many creative projects forthcoming, a thoroughly uninteresting contest, and discussing exactly what the Star Wars Prequels accomplished.
A discussion with author David J. Williams about his Autumn Rain trilogy, featuring the titles The Mirrored Heavens, The Burning Skies and The Machinery of Light.
You will notice by the file name and hear in my intro this episode is dated March 31. APRIL FOOLS! Ha ha ha ha… er… yeah. In this episode, Slice of Sci Fi Headlines and some helpful advice if you’re starting out a podcast or putting together a creative audio project.
A brief project update, feedback from Scott Roche and Dan Dan the Art Man, and the twenty-six promised minutes of outtakes from my interview with Tee Morris.

A special interview with Tee Morris, talking about his newest titles, All A-Twitter and Sam’s Teach Yourself Twitter in Ten Minutes. 53 minutes of discussion about the books and a lot of Social Media philosophy. In Adventure #38, you’ll get 26 minutes of outtakes about other topics, specifically some of his reaction to Adventure #37, Paragons and Pariahs of the Free Model, so be sure to return for that!

This is a monumental episode. Jam packed with important discussion about the recent announcement from J.C. Hutchins, that he is quitting the podcast fiction game. What does it all mean to us? What do responses from people such as Matt Wallace suggest about our culpability in St. Martin’s Press dropping the 7th Son sequels? Also, food for thought from Chuck Wendig about how a Podcast Novelist (or other creative person) can move forward from this. Finally, examining Scott Sigler’s words about how to make it work. After all, he’s the guy who did it.

Voicemail from Scott Roche

I had to put this out, even though I have zero energy to make an episode. Thought you’d like it. It’s short.
If you are having trouble accessing files, please be aware we are working on the issue. We’ve recently undergone some changes in the servers at Farpoint Media, so all of this is in an effort to make it work together properly.
Thank you for your patience.
The roles for The Last Guardians that have been filled, and by whom!

Feedback
First, some observations on Independence Day. How independent are we really, anymore? The fact is both political parties have gamed the system so that they are empowered, and the individual is enslaved.

Feedback from I think it’s Ginny in Houston. Could be Jenny, I’m not exactly sure. Also Will the Computer Guy chimes in on the prequel comic to the new Star Trek film, and also a little on podcast volume levels which leads me to a discussion of compression.
