JS: What I do is a weekly broadcast hour of modern audio… Continue reading Interview with Jerry Stearns (Great Northern Audio)

My guest today is author, blogger, podcaster, two-time Hugo Award winner, and all-round Functional Nerd Patrick Hester (@atfmb).

Interview with Jesse Willis (SFFaudio)
Today I’ll be talking to Jesse Willis from SFFaudio. SCy-Fy: Tell me a bit about the focus of SFFaudio, Jesse. JW: Unlike most folks I see podcasting, SFFaudio looks mostly backward.

What plans do you and your co-editor have for the site?… Continue reading Interview with Pornokitsch
