I’m Podside Official!

As of today, I'm excited to announce I'll be the third host for the Podside Picnic podcast. My discussions about Crap Books have been a blast to do, and I hope to bring that same level of fun to other areas of the podcast. I'd like to bring on current science fiction and fantasy authors who've written shorter works as guests, as well as other activities that are tangential to science fiction and fantasy. There's also a series of other exciting stuff we have planned and can't wait to share some of these projects with you when the time comes. Keep in mind that If you have a suggestion or something they feel we've missed that they'd like to see featured on Podside Picnic, the best way to let us know is by joining the Patreon, but otherwise, feel free to comment or contact me here. Until next time! ...

This means that Pete and I will prioritize talking about the series of books written by none other than British-by-Birth, Florida-Man-by-Choice, (and all around perv) Piers Anthony. As Pete so succinctly put it: https://twitter.com/PodsidePete/status/1297663309009899524?s=20 I feel your pain, man If there's one good thing I could say about the Xanth books, it's that each one's generally stand-alone. That's why I started on the 7th book in the series and worked my way through whichever ones I could find. Thus my journey began So, look for our Xanth-stravaganza, coming soon to a Crap Books near you! ...

More Crap Books Episodes

Some good news! Due to the popularity of the Crap Books episodes, Podside Picnic decided to have me on once a month to ramble some more about my genre mis-education. This will continue for as long as it's still something Pete and I are interested in doing. I'm currently racking my brains to list different novels I've not yet discussed for upcoming episodes. Full disclosure: we may reserve the right to circle back for a deeper dive of certain tie-in novels we've already discussed at any time. For the moment, we'll very likely discuss the Shadowrun novel, Burning Bright (which I'm currently reading in preparation), as well as the Vampire: the Eternal Struggle CCG (!) tie-in, House of Secrets sometime soon. We'll probably want to also explore what Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote after Dragonlance. There's plenty of material to draw from already, but we wanted to gauge interest. This is...
