Aliens You Will Meet - The Rock Giants of Nikinntinn

Download here
The silicone-based rock giants of Nikinntinn have minds that can best be described as glacial. The average greeting takes sixteen to twenty hours, and a ceremonial one for someone of your stature will take no less than three weeks.

Voice of Free Planet X, Episode 73: Guest of the Dragon

Download here
Still feeling ill, so instead of providing “content,” I instead yammer about Dragon*Con. The relevant points:
I am going to be guest at Dragon*Con ‘08
I’ve been attending Dragon*Con since 2000
I’d made a promise that’d be a guest in 2005. Better late than never.
Mur Lafferty should be on more panels.
As a guest, I […]

Voice of Free Planet X, Episode 70: How Genre Can You Be?

Download here.
Sunday evening finds me ruminating about Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba’s comic The Umbrella Academy, and wondering about the strangling tendrils of superhero tropes, and genres in general. How much is too much genre elements? Is there even such a thing?
In any case, here’s some Umbrella Academy material on the internet, which will give […]

Episode 68: Attack of the Feedback!

Download here
More podcast episodes means more feedback! I take a moment to go over the choice bit of listener mail. I am flattered, a listener may be going deaf (but only in one ear), and we confirm that things are better with JR and that a certain episode is “made of awesome.” Plus, […]

Voice of Free Planet X, Episode 67: My Evening With The Insect Queen

Download here
 One the great things about, well, being me, is that my friends are just as great and as fascinating as I am, so when I haven’t seen one in a while, they’re usually full of amazing stories and interesting conversations.
