Tomorrow I’ll be doing the 7th Live Show on Stickam.
The crowd has grown for every show, so I hope to continue that tomorrow with a story by… me!
Come join the fun. We’ll be doing Round 2 of the Damn You Holyfield Drinking Game, so if nothing else, get drunk with me!
Work on the website has gone well so far (slow, but well), and I hope to have new feeds soon.
Last but not least, I have a seekrit project for 2010. Stay tuned…
NOTE: Postponing show to 12/23, due to family sickness… see you next week.

Before I go any further, it must be said/written. I’m not happy with this episode. The story is top notch; the reading is solid; good use of music and effects. The issue is with the audio quality of the reading. I made a rookie mistake (which I won’t detail here) that affected the final output file. Whew… I feel better. Let’s get back to the show.
0:00 – Intro Chatter
- Lots of news… will update this with a bullet list later.
7:00 – First Blood – Alex Briggs
A nearly lifelong relationship between a particular human and an orc is played out before our eyes… or ears, rather.
25:00 – Promo
Jake Bible – Dead Mech
26:00 – Outro Chatter
Please visit The Boom Effect to learn more about the charity that has sprung up to support Tee Morris and his daughter. I will be donating stuff to the auction.

Tonight, as we approach the book launch of Murder at Avedon Hill, we have a Tales of the Children story written and produced by Dan Absalonson. A few weeks ago Dan asked if he could produce the audio for his own podcast, and knowing I wouldn’t be getting to his story for several months, I said “Go for it!” For a first audio podcast episode, Dan did a wonderful job with the production. Big Axe, Little Hands is a fun story about one of the smaller races of Caern, and an incarnation of one of the Children of Az we haven’t seen in audio form thus far.
I hope you enjoy the story, and check back later today for the release of an interview I did with Jack Mangan over at his Deadpan Podcast.
0:00 – Intro Chatter
- Short intro of Dan Abaslonson’s short story, Big Axe, Small Hands.
2:00 – Big Axe, Small Hands
Join Halvard the Halfling as he journeys to find the way of the warrior, running into trouble along the way, and meeting races he’s only heard tell of in the story told around the community fire in his small village.
