P.G. Holyfield: Author and Podcaster » interview

Appearance: The Roundtable Podcast

P.G. Holyfield — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:38:46 +0000

Last week I was a Guest Host on The Roundtable Podcast, a great new podcast that does two different things really well. Their primary purpose is to do story-workshops with new/budding writers, which is a lot of fun to do, and to listen to if you are interested in writing. They (hosts Dave Robison and Brion Humphrey) also take time to interview their guests hosts about their writing and the process of writing.

My interview with Dave and Brion is up on the site now and the workshop episode should be released in the next day or so. I hope you enjoy it!

MaAH Special Edition: Interview with Howard Tayler

P.G. Holyfield — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 22:35:08 +0000

Balticon was wonderful–best convention I’ve ever attended. One of the many reasons for this (which I’ll detail in an upcoming audio update) was the forty-five minutes I got to spend with Howard Tayler. Howard is the creator of the Schlock Mercenary web-comic, a host on the Writing Excuses podcast, and the Artist Guest of Honor at Balticon this year.

We talked about storytelling within the medium of ‘sequential art,’ Writing Excuses, pacing within different mediums, and a little about the talk Howard gave at Balticon on education and on becoming a better creator, no matter the medium.

Thanks to Howard for being patient with someone that obviously had less than a good grasp of web-comic terminology (I referred to panels as boxes throughout the interview ).

Promo at the end of the episode is for Prisoners of the Alliance.

Interview on Into the Blender Podcast

P.G. Holyfield — Fri, 14 May 2010 18:20:28 +0000

Last week I sat down with Chooch and Viv (two of my favorite people in the world) and we talked about the Launch. The conversation moved into many different areas not covered in other interviews, so give it a listen.

Into the Blender is a podcast about blended families, geek culture, and it is a wonderful listen month in and month out. Go check it out!

MaAH – Interview on Jack Mangan’s Deadpan podcast

P.G. Holyfield — Tue, 11 May 2010 08:17:02 +0000

Tonight we have one of my favorite interviews ever, with one of the great gentlemen of podcasting… Jack Mangan. Enjoy.

Interview on the Get Published podcast

P.G. Holyfield — Sun, 09 May 2010 07:38:37 +0000

Last week Michell Plested interviewed me for his “Get Published” podcast. It was a great conversation, and I hope you enjoy it. The actual interview starts at around the 10 minute mark.

I will be dropping a Tales of the Children story tomorrow, a story written and produced by Dan Absalonson.

MaAH Special Edition: Behind the Scenes – Gabrielle Harbowy, Pt. 2

P.G. Holyfield — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:11:55 +0000

Today we have our next “Behind the Scenes” episode leading up to the print release of Murder at Avedon Hill. This is Pt.2 of my interview with Gabrielle Harbowy, my editor with Dragon Moon Press. Gabrielle was also the author of the first Tales of the Children story, “Swimming Lessons.”

Excuse the low sound quality of this episode. We recorded in a room at the Atlanta Hilton during Dragon*Con and there was a lot of noise that didn’t clean up very well. But it is listenable, and the interview itself turned out great.

Be sure to join in the fun on Wednesday evening, 9:30 pm Eastern, for the next vidcast on Stickam.com

Enjoy!

Discussions on cover art and creativity
The state of the publishing industry
What is The Gearheart?
not a fan of Blade Runner, other than the “style” of it?
Fonts and genres?
Glenfiddich
Oil rigs

Is that it? … Oh yeah… there was Tears for Fears.

Listen in on my interview with Alex White, creator of The Gearheart podcast novel, Art Director at Dragon Moon Press… and in his spare time he’ll be doing the cover of Murder at Avedon Hill.

Podcasting’s Rick Sigfrit decided that I needed to be interviewed as the last remaining finalist, and who better to interview me than someone that voiced multiple characters in my podcast novel!

MaAH Special Edition: Parsec Finalist Chris Lester

P.G. Holyfield — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:39:53 +0000

As promised, I decided to interview the other four finalists in the Best Audio Drama Long Form Category at this year’s Parsec Awards. While I’m ultimately hoping to sabotage all of my competitors by getting them to admit to something horrible… like drinking Miller Lite… or kicking puppies… I’m afraid all I’m really good at is making sure people learn more about these wonderful creators.

Here is the last of my four interviews, this one with the creator, writer and producer of The Metamor City Podcast, Chris Lester. Chris and I chat about Metamor City, our battles as nemesises… nemeses… whatever… about what he is doing next… and focus on his unfortunate arrest in Amsterdam last year. ;-P

Enjoy!

MaAH Special Edition: Parsec Finalist Rich Sigfrit

P.G. Holyfield — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:16:52 +0000

Here is the third of my four interviews, this one with Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit, master of voices, producer of the Parsec Finalist Podcast Pulp Adventures Starring Mr. Adventure.

Rich Sigfrit and I chat about Mister Adventure, his wonderful voice acting on Murder at Avedon Hill, the Parsecs, his pre- and post-Parsec interviews, etc.

MaAH Special Edition: Parsec Finalist Mur Lafferty

P.G. Holyfield — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 05:47:12 +0000

Here is the second of my four interviews, this one with Mur Lafferty creator and writer of The Takeover. (Yes, I kn0w at the beginning of the interview I say this is the LAST interview. I’ll be releasing more interviews between now and Dragon*Con).

Mur Lafferty is one of my heroes, as you know, and we talk about The Takeover, about Her Side (the fiction/photography collaboration with the incomparable J.R. Blackwell), the Heaven Series, World Con, and The Parsec Awards.

Enjoy!

MaAH Special Edition: Parsec Finalist Christof Laputka

P.G. Holyfield — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:22:06 +0000

Here is the first of my four interviews, this one with Christof Laputka, creator and writer of The Leviathan Chronicles.

Christof is a world traveler, a former finance expert, a Highlander fan, a production whore… and his commitment to his audio drama, in terms of both time and money, is awe-inspiring.

One of the many things I’m looking foward to at Dragon*Con this year is meeting Christof and drinking a beer (or three).

Enjoy!

MaAH: Special Edition – Interview with Seth Harwood

P.G. Holyfield — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 02:50:55 +0000

I interviewed Seth a month ago and finally got the audio cleaned up enough to release. It’s not the best recording, but there’s a lot of good content here from one of the best podcasters in the business, Seth Harwood.

Jack Wakes Up Cover

“Jack Wakes Up rocks! It’s a fast, smooth ride on a highway not found on any map.” — Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Readers who like their hard-boiled crime fiction violent and gritty will cheer Harwood’s debut — taut prose and fast pacing bode well for future entries in the series.” — Publisher’s Weekly

Seth and I talk about his podcast novels, his journey to having Jack Wakes Up published (twice), his former job on the floor of the stock market in NYC, his teaching career, Author Bootcamp, HotTub Cast… and much much more!

Enjoy, and look for my first of four interviews with the other Parsec finalists in the category of Best Audio Drama Long Form, posting tomorrow.
