  Episode #97

  96. Bread and Circuses w/ RW Duder (author of Amy: Legacy)

  Aug 20, 202659 minS1

  Returning guestRW Duder is back again. This time we’re talking about Amy Legacy,book 2 in the Amy series. RW, Rob, was previously on all the way backin episode 36 where we discussed Amy Book 1. This episode might bemildly spoilery for that first book, so maybe go and listen to thatfirst—but this is a slasher novel, so you’re here for the bloodand guts. Back in episode 36, Rob and I had some technical issues,and some of the audio got cut—most of what we lost was discussingserial killers and true crime, which I found was more relevant toLegacy, and we recreate that discussion here.

  Episode #92

  92. Alien Cats w/ Joe Mahoney (author of A Time and a Place)

  Jul 23, 20261h 14mS1

  Wayback in the early days, there was an author with whom I travelled insomewhat overlapping circles. He was promoting his debut novel, ATime and a Place. Online, i saw him sharing screenshots of Audacity,with track titles labelled Chapter 1, 2 etc, and captions that he'djust recorded another. In 2019, I attended a book show that thisauthor organized in Whitby, and I had just downloaded his finishedaudiobook off of Audible. I remarked to him how remarkable it was forhim to do his own audiobook, and he gave me the advice, perhaps inpassing, that if I were interested in audio, I should do my own,which seemed like a ludicrous idea at the time. But, here we are,seven years later, and I have 3—soon to be 4, if I can ever do thefinal touches on the Moon Panther—audiobooks out that I myselfrecorded, and it's Joe Mahoney that I credit with seeding that ideaof doing it myself. Thisweek I have Joe on to discuss his book A Time and a Place, hiswriting journey, the press that he has founded now that he's retiredand moved out to the east coast, and more, Donovan Street Press.
