BONUS—Zola speaks on courage in the face of bullying in new single   I've known Rhode Island author Christopher Paniccia for years, so it's a welcome sight to have him back on the show. A few years ago he launched a new fantasy series and we talk about the newest novel, “The Dark Kingdom.” Chris walks us through the story, which centers on a young man who learns of his family secret, one that changes his life forever.   This book was recently released, and for artists, the last year has been a hard one in which to put out their work. Chris and I look at his strategy when going to expos and book signings isn't an option.   After this interview, I've got a new single from John Powhida International Airport, “Michael 3 O'Clock.”   Following this interview, Boston's Zola and I take a deep dive into her new single, “Not Like Other Girls.” The song looks at standing up in the face of a bullying friend, and Zola shares what led this to be the theme. We also dive into her style, which blends rock, piano, and synth.   After this interview, kick back and enjoy the new song. I really dug the style and the message is a powerful one.

We need to decouple the idea of 'book' from the mental image we carry around of 'book.' The innovation and benefit that digital brings to books and publishing lies less in how digital affects final artifacts, and more in how digital affects the systems leading up to and extending beyond those artifacts. Craig Mod is a writer, designer, publisher and developer concerned with the future of publishing & storytelling. In 2010 he founded publishing think tank PRE/​POST. He is co-​​author, designer and publisher of Art Space Tokyo. He is also co-​​founding editor and engineer behind TPUTH​.com, co-​​founder and developer of the story telling project Hitotoki, and frequent collab o rator with Infor mation Archi tects, Japan. He’s lived in Tokyo for almost a decade and speaks frequently on the future of books and media. He is the worst speller you will ever meet."
