In episode #288 of Talking Radical Radio (September 25, 2018), Scott Neigh interviews long-time organizers Amanda Wilson and Dan Sawyer of the Punch Up Collective. In recent years, Wilson and Sawyer have found that many people they talk to want ways to get together with others to work for social change, but in our disconnected, fragmented, neoliberal age have few options to do so. They believe that one possibility that could work for almost anyone is to get together with a handful of other people with whom you share political values and priorities, and form a *collective*. They talk about collectives in general, about Punch Up in particular, and about their work to support other people in forming collectives of their own.

Stephen Platinum and Larry Goodman talk with Global Championship Wrestling promoter "Maddog" Dan Sawyer, get Patinum's firsthand backstage report fromThe Royal Rumble and Goodman's take on ROH in Atlanta, plus other stuff.

Dan Sawyer - consummate storyteller, media producer, and creative visionary - was our first Guest Host. One year ago, nervous and uncertain, Brion and I interviewed Dan and launched a podcast, starting a journey that has led to so many discoveries, friendships, and opportunities to explore the creative process. Dan is the ideal catalyst for such a journey, given his diverse and extensive experience in the art of expression. During this celebratory 20(ish) minutes of conversation, we delve a bit deeper into Dan's writing process, discuss the pros and cons of genre-jumping, uncover some strategies to keep your audience guessing, and more.

Episode 14 is my interview with podcaster, storyteller, and force of nature, Nathan Lowell, PhD. This interview is barely over an hour but packed FULL of geeky goodness about his books, writing, and basically why I can't get enough of his novels. Any interview with Nathan is awesome (see the links below), and I'm bringing you the awesome "Geek Out!" style. Strap in, you will enjoy the ride! :)You can find all things Nathan Lowell at:Web site: http://solarclipper.com/Twitter: @nlowellNathan's novels:Get the books in all their forms at Nathan's site http://solarclipper.com/get-the-books/Ridan Publishing pages with multiple purchase options (signed copies are available): "Quarter Share" - http://www.ridanpublishing.com/quarter_share.html "Half Share" - http://ridanpublishing.com/half_share.htmlFind all of Nathan's free podcast audio books at http://www.podiobooks.com/ (search for "Nathan Lowell").Check out other must listen Nathan Lowell interviews at:Dan Sawyer’s Writer’s Round Table on Writing Fast on "I Should Be Writing" Special Episode #45.

This week the guys sit down with Philippa Ballantine and Dan Sawyer (sadly Chris Lester couldn't make it) about their upcoming simultaneous release of podcasts, which they've dubbed the Triple Threat. Enjoy!

Pip Ballantine joined me, Dan Sawyer and Kitty Nic’Iaian for another feedback extravaganza. This one is so long I had to break it in half. And yes, I know that I said “special episode 5″ at the beginning. I’d lost count, I’m afraid…
