BB002 - Art & Criticism
Willowhugger:
Oh the interviews work fine, I'm just saying that if you filled up that blog of time talking about a Dresden files book with a review or the process of making the Dresden RPG or whatnot then it would still work is what I'm saying.
:-)
Mickey Finn:
There's an idea...get Jim to interview YOU (and Rob) about the RPG ;)

Heh. I don't want to waste any of his writer-time asking him to come up with a list of questions. :)

I enjoyed this ep, though I feel it was somewhat less engaging than the first. I think the discussion of criticism was very timely given Jim's recent LJ posts, but I would have liked to see more of the podcast devoted to direct discussion of Jim's works, rather than a tangential issue. I think you did admirably linking it back to Jim and your RPG experience, but it still felt kind of "surface."
I agree with some of the other commenters that the interviews have been the strongest part of the show so far. While your monologuing has improved a bit from the first episode and a half, you're still much more dynamic when you're actually interacting with another person. You might consider digging up some podcasts or radio programs that have one host and listening to what they do to keep their shows fresh. It was quite ambitious of you to set out on your own--every other podcast I listen to is co-hosted (Comic News Insider with Joe and Jimmy, The Signal, DiggNation, etc), with the exception of "Ask a Ninja." *grins*
It was cool to hear from Christian, and I delighted at the tidbit about the rerelease of the earlier books. I wish you'd asked whether they would be in hardcover or paperback (though I'd assume paperback), and how many books they were rereleasing with new covers. We'll have to poke him the next time he stops by the boards! I also kept waiting for him to mention that thanks to fan input (and now that he's actually read some of the books), Harry's glove will start appearing on covers, beginning with White Night. Keen!
Good show, Fred! Looking forward to Episode 3. (It'll be bound to be more fun than Lucas's!)

The big dog in solo podcasting is, if you ask me, Paul Tevis in Have Games, Will Travel. And honestly I don't feel like my method is all that deviated from his -- I just have less experience at it. Unfortunately for my listeners, the podcast is how i'm gonna get that experience. :)

He seemed to be saying it was the first five. I didn't expect him to know if it was hardcover or not, actually. :>
