This week, Justin Landon - host of "RocketTalk", co-editor of the "Speculative Fiction 2012: The Year's Best Online Reviews, Essays and Commentary" compilation, and once-and-future king of the "Staffer's Book Review" blog, strides in boldly and resumes his seat in the Big chair to apply his potent storytelling mojo to a brainstorm of epic proportions. The story is offered up by Guest Writer Luke Koster, a YA tale of two paladins serving their god in very different - and dangerous - ways. Ancient relics, divine agendas, and the struggle for acceptance all serve as the leaping point for a legendary story workshop. With Katharina Bordet returning as co-host, we caffeinate ourselves AND the story, delving into the nature of a good protagonist, a bit of divine mythology, literary narrative forms, and more. Literary Gold is the goal and it is achieved, baby! And there's plenty to go around... just a click of the "PLAY" button away (and if you missed it, definitely make the time to listen to Justin's insightful Showcase Episode) PROMO: “The Black: A Deep Sea Thriller” by Paul Elard Cooley Workshop Episode 78 (Guest Host: Justin Landon) [caution: mature language - listener discretion is advised] Share your comments to this (or any) episode over at the RTP Forum!

Justin Landon knows stories. As host of the fabulous Tor.com podcast "RocketTalk", co-editor of the "Speculative Fiction 2012: The Year's Best Online Reviews, Essays and Commentary" compilation, and maestro of the now-quiescent "Staffer's Book Review" blog, Justin has reviewed hundreds of books and read thousands more. Guided by a critical eye and a storyteller's heart, he has delved into what distinguishes good stories from "meh", exploring narratives and character arcs from scifi to fantasy, thrillers to YA, and all the genre stops in between. Joined by co-host Katharina Bordet, we are delighted to have Justin take the Big Chair at the Roundtable for 20(ish... no really, VERY "ish") minutes of fabulous writerly discourse. Justin shares his thoughts on what makes a good story, what writers should and shouldn't take from their book reviews, how to cultivate a critical eye for fiction and more.

Episode 27 is the second half of my interview with Odin1Eye. Odin is the blogger and podcaster of "View From Valhalla" - the place to go for the best reviews of podcast novels. If you want to know what Odin listens to besides the podiobooks he's already reviewed, you'll want to catch this episode. And what does Podiobooks.com need more of? Listen to find out! (Even Evo Terra agrees in a recent interview on PodioRacket #50). So when you write one of those and put it up on Podiobooks, let Odin and I know ... We WILL listen.

Episode 26 is the first part of my interview with Odin1Eye. Odin is the blogger and podcaster of "View From Valhalla" - the place to go for the best reviews of podcast novels. I enjoy FREE podcast audio novels, but if you are new to the podcast community there is no better place to start your search for ones you will enjoy. Odin's reviews are balanced and focused on letting you know why you would want to listen or pass on the podcast novels he reviews. Even for people like me who listened to the very first ones, visiting the site every Monday to find new podiobooks or being able to share your opinions about ones you've already listened to is a real service. He's even started podcasting his reviews, both recent and older ones, so please subscribe on his site.On top of all that Odin is a REALLY nice person, great human being, and fellow "Watcher". I consider him one of my best Internet buddies. So what are you waiting for? Go listen already ... and check out his blog.And if you comment on this or any other episode, please email me and enter yourself in the contest that is going on until May 18, 2011 - http://gowmainframe.blogspot.com/2011/04/geek-out-contest-1st-year-celebration.htmlYou can find all things Odin1Eye at:Web site - http://www.viewfromvalhalla.com/Twitter - @Odin1EyeEmail - odin1eye@viewfromvalhalla.comVoice mail - 956-307-ODIN (6346)Every Photo Tells stories - http://everyphototells.com/tag/odin1eye/Mentioned:Brand Gamblin - http://brandg.com/Brand's Kickstarter - http://kck.st/mgWI98Hoad’s Grim by Jack Kincaid - http://www.jack-kincaid.com/enterthegrim/Clear Heart by Joe Cottonwood - http://www.podiobooks.com/title/clear-heartScott Sigler - http://www.scottsigler.com/Philippa Ballantine - http://www.pjballantine.com/Tee Morris - http://teemorris.com/The Dreamer's Thread by Starla Huchton - http://www.thedreamersthreadnovel.com/Dreaming of Deliverance by Renee Chambliss - http://www.rechambliss.com/Zard - http://jrmerl.in/Kat Maimer - http://www.maimer.net/Mick Bordet - http://mickbordet.com/Bumper:Doc Coleman - http://www.scaleslea.net http://www.niftytechblog.com/http://theshrinkingmanproject.com/ Promos:Thomas Reed's Bitstrips - http://www.bitstrips.com/user/1222/http://thomasjreed.blogspot.com/Spiral Tattoo by Michael J Parry - http://michaeljparry.com/http://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-spiral-tattooI can be found and contacted at:Web Site: http://gowmainframe.com/ or http://geekoutwithmainframe.com/Twitter: @mainframe (or @gowmainframe for tweets just about the podcast)Email: gowmainframe at gmail dot comVoice Mail: 206-350-0528 Songs used are "Space Ride" & "Around", from the album "Around" by Oursvince at http://www.oursvince.com Thanks for listening!Download: GOWM_026.mp3
Episode 16 is the second half of my interview with writer, novelist, podcaster, and really nice human being Arlene Radasky. She is the author of the historical fiction (with a little fantasy added in for good measure) novel "The Fox". "The Fox" was inspired by the archaeological find know as "Lindow Man" (Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindow_Man), so the book appeals to the science & history geek in me as well as its being a well done story. If you haven't listened to the first half, please go back and check it out. :)You can find all things Arlene Radasky at:Web site: http://www.radasky.com/Twitter: @aradaskyGet "The Fox" at:Arlene's site - http://www.radasky.com/Purchase a print copy of the book at Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Fox-Arlene-Radasky/dp/1439211752/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227126756&sr=1-2Free ebook at Smashwords - http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/aradaskyFree ebook at free-ebooks.net - http://www.free-ebooks.net/authors.php?author=Arlene%20RadaskyPodiobooks for the audio version - http://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-foxMentioned:My stories at Every Photo Tells - http://everyphototells.com/tag/richard-mainframe-green/in particular Episode 56 "Valhalla (Part 1)" - http://everyphototells.com/2011/02/episode-56-valhalla-part-1/Bumper:Nomad Scry -http://www.brainwyrms.com/Promos:The Shrinking Man Project - http://theshrinkingmanproject.com/The Weird Show - http://theweirdshow.com/I can be found and contacted at:Web Site: http://gowmainframe.com/Twitter: @mainframe (or @gowmainframe for tweets just about the podcast)Email: gowmainframe at gmail dot comVoice Mail: 206-350-0528 Songs used are "Space Ride" & "Around", from the album "Around" by Oursvince at http://www.oursvince.com
