Ep. 35: ForgetWYCR chapter 2

Forget What You Can’t Remember, chapter 2: In which Paul and Eddie discuss the financial viability of the novel which Paul wrote in less than a month about the Doomsday now only a few days away.
 
In my intro I mention the Phoenix First Fridays Art Walk; if you’re actually thinking of heading down, I show in the “Roosevelt Row” street closure, usually on 5th Street, between Garfield and McKinley (Garfield is a block South of Roosevelt). The Art Walk runs from about 6PM to 10PM (or 11PM, depending on when the police open the road closure) on the first friday of every month. As soon as I finish uploading this, I’m going to go load my car; I hope to see you there – If not this month, then soon.

Ep. 34: ForgetWYCR chapter 1

Forget What You Can’t Remember, chapter 1: In which Lance sets Brady straight about the zombie survival training camp they’re both headed to, Mary talks Lorraine into attending the same camp with her, and the two head trainers there discuss running the camp without the Sergeant.
 
Note: If you downloaded this on 1/1/09, you may want to re-download it. The audio has been updated, with a new voice for Brady and with part 2 of chapter 1 completely re-recorded. Wondering which version you have? If Brady sounds like Lorraine, you have the old one. If Brady sounds slow/tired/confused, you have the new one.

Ep. 33: Lost and Not Found, Episode 18

The final episode of Lost and Not Found, in which the police break in to the main character’s house at Ariadne’s anxious request, the doomsday Paul predicted in Episode 1 comes to pass right on schedule, and in which -ten years later- we find out about Tink and the main character’s life together in Haven on their final day there.

Ep. 32: Lost and Not Found, Episode 17

In which the main character and Tink get a glimpse of their future together, get engaged, and find themselves surrounded at their engagement party by friends and neighbors they didn’t know they had, and then in which Ariadne calls Sally, panicked that the main character may finally have killed himself.

Also including the details of my plans for next week, including putting the final episode of Lost and Not Found on the Modern Evil Podcast on Tuesday (3 days before it goes live at Podiobooks.com) and then the first chapter of my new book, Forget What You Can’t Remember at midnight on 1/1/09 – with the second chapter going live on the morning of 1/2/09. That’s three episodes next week, and the exciting beginning of a new novel in the feed!

Ep. 31: Two poems from Worth 1k – – – Volume 2

The last two poems in the feed for 2008, also from Worth 1k — Volume 2. The first one is actually somewhat fun/humorous, and is a sort of a meta-meta-poem. Post-post-modern, or post- Post-post-modern, perhaps. (Yes, I think piling repetitive tags on things like that is silly. So is my poem, intentionally about a breakdown in meta-.) The second poem is more personal. A look at how I sometimes bury myself in a world of numbers and math to escape from or distract from the world, or simply to give my mind something to do when (especially at a boring day job) there’s literally no challenge to getting the job done.

Nowadays, I still find myself scrawling notebooks full of numbers, column after column of hard-calculated numbers, the explanation of which just makes other peoples’ heads hurt (though not for mathematical sophistication; I’ve never taken any really advanced math classes), but -lately- which produces an end result of interesting and/or beautiful music. (I’ve been composing intro/outro and bed music for my podcasts mathematically.)

Ep. 30: Lost and Not Found, Episode 16

In which the main character and Tink get dressed, exchange introductions with Trunk, the two-headed inkeeper, and then visit Haven’s old museum.

Also including a promo for Steampod, a fiction podcast featuring steampunk stories – with a Christmas themed steampunk story hitting tomorrow, December 20th.

Ep. 29: Two poems from Worth 1k – – – Volume 2

I’ve got another two poems for you this week, from my poetry book, Worth 1k — Volume 2. These two poems capture experiences I had at work. One is about the actual experience of the work itself, and the other is more a visual snapshot of something that was going on outside my window.
