Tonight I learned that Tee Morris, my friend and co-founder of Podiobooks.com, suffered the loss of his wife, Natalie. Her passing was unexpected, and Tee now faces the unenviable task of rearing his young daughter, Serena, as a single parent. Tee was the first author to make his book into a serialized audiobook delivered by [...]

It’s not a giant leap to draw parallels between indie musicians and authors. To wit; I’d like to introduce you to Corey Smith, a new personal hero of mine. He gives his music away for free on his site. And he sells that music — the very same music — on iTunes. When he takes [...]

After September 11, 2001, novelist Michael Lund found that the emerging War on Terror recalled aspects of the Cold War in the 1950s. And his experience as an Army correspondent in Vietnam (1970-71) offered clues to the demands a new generation of America’s youth would face in the 21st century. Route 66 to Vietnam: A [...]

Tomorrow night at 6:30 pm, I’ll be appearing on Sci Fi Saturday Night on 610 AM WGIR in Manchester NH. Over the past year alone, Sci Fi Saturday Night has interviewed authors such as Ben Bova and John Moressey, actors Anthony Daniels (“C-3PO” from Star Wars) and Amber Benson (“Tara” from Buffy The Vampire Slayer) [...]

If you’ve had a problem with an episode from Earthcore or Aliens and Satanic Creates Wanted, you are not alone. It’s a problem that we are working on with Libsyn to fix. Here is the situation: When we upload a file to Libsyn, it is copied out to a number of  their mirror servers.  Those [...]
