Patrick Millikin in conversation with Eli Cranor and Scott Phillips
Originally recorded 08/18/24 After a forced hiatus, the boys are back and ready to roll up on you with their particular geek magic. Blood and sugar sold separately. Stephe opened things up with an in depth account of his trip to SDCC in July. This included Preview Night, Funko Fundays and drinking in San Diego. During this part of the conversation, Bruce took a moment to expound on his Corey Feldman as a performance artist theory. Hey, Bruce got new glasses...the Robert Downey, Jr. kind. There was another edition of Old Men and Their Maladies We discussed Gen X being forced to square dance in gym class and the chaos it created for dyslexics. Stephe had encounters with homeless folks in San Diego. They did not go how you might expect. Finally, Bruce explained the reason for the long hiatus. His mom passed away and the guys reminisced a bit about Mama Jane. She was a fan, even when she had no idea what we were talking about. She knew we were having fun and that's all that mattered to her. Bruce steered the ship out of maudlin with a mention of author, Eli Cranor, and his Arkansas crime noir. Finally, Bruce pointed Stephe toward the poster art of the dearly departed Armadillo World Headquarters. The legendary Austin hippie music venue produced some fantastic posters during their run.

In Episode 139, Brendan Slocumb talks about his sophomore novel, Symphony of Secrets, and the inspiration behind it. He shares a fascinating look into musical history of the 1920's, his unique approach to writing musical thrillers, and how he balances musical detail with readability. He also delves into the exploitation of musicians in the industry and how many are simply lost to history. Plus, stick around to hear Brendan's book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights The story behind Symphony of Secrets and the composer who partially inspired it. Brendan's unique approach to writing and his goal to become the “Stephen King of musical thrillers.” The pressure of writing a second book so soon after such a successful debut (The Violin Conspiracy). How Brendan blends musical analysis and character development without overwhelming the reader while staying true to the story. The exploitation and appropriation of musicians and their work in the music industry. Why he chose to make a main character neurodivergent and his experience with teaching neurodivergent music students. His inspiration for the badass character Eboni.
