Priscellie:
Strange, iTunes hasn't downloaded it for me yet. Oh well! I'm downloading from the direct link you provided. And the intro... this is why we love you, Fred. How many times did you record that before you stopped feeling self-conscious? :D
*skips off to listen to the rest*
Edit: I have to say, you've really improved at the solo-podcasting thing! The music goes a long way in keeping your speechifying dynamic and interesting. There are some weird, unsettling choppy bits where one can hear where you cut stuff out, but on the whole, your performance is miles better than where you were two episodes ago. Bravo!
Edit 2: TEASE!!!
Edit 3: *dies* You're calling me and my source "industrial little gnomes"? That better be an endearing nickname. *cackles and goes to change her personal text*
Amber:
*shudder* I'm trying to get over the idea that one might read the books *out of order*

That's me trying to stir up some controversy. ;)
Actually, it's based in my real world experience of trying to get "hmmm, maybe, it doesn't quite sound like my thing" people hooked on the series. The early books end up being less strong of a sell -- in the sense of leaving the skeptic willing to read more -- whereas if I hand them Summer Knight or Death Masks, there's serious traction.

Only twice, actually. I'm a natural goof, so my stiff-and-weird urges tend to go out the window once I know I'm doing something ridiculous no matter how you look at it. :)

Yeah, the choppy bits are a natural consequence of me trying to loosen up. I ad-libbed 90% of this episode (instead of my usual 10%) and that lead to a lot of screw-ups and a metric ton of 'uh... (six second pause)'.

Yes, well. I am.

I meant to say *industrious* instead of industrial, but hey, it's a term of admiration. Y'know, like the finest jewelery in the twelve kingdoms being made under a hill somewhere by industrious faeriekin who can spin silver fine as silk. :)
