Redacted Force

In 2016 I reached out to prolific cult author Gar Wilson for permission to read his series of Phoenix Force novels as a podcast. Mr Wilson returned my enquiry with a production plan to record the entire series in audiobook format, available on all media platforms and read by the author--however at the last minute it became evident that he did not have the rights to his work, and so recording began in earnest on the project that would be retitled Redacted Force, read by the author, who was legally required to change every fifth word on average live, during production. This podcast is a look behind the scenes of that process. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
