Friend of the show Polly Schattel is back to talk about her darkly comic novella 8:59:29 (Trepidatio Publishing), and we dig into every aspect, from the origins of the idea to the narrative implications. Along the way we ponder whether characters need to be likable (short answer:no), extol the virtues of novellas as a form, and find out what Polly's working on next. It's a nerdily analytical and story-obsessed chat, and it pairs well with your favorite morning beverage. For the sake of all humanity, listen! And find all things Polly at pollyschattel.com.  Find John on Instagram and Twitter @giannidubya!

This episode is an epilogue to Saul Searching, the Better Call Saul (BCS) recap podcast that ended last year (along with the show, which only makes sense). Now that the whole six-season run of BCS is up on Netflix, it's a good time to binge, whether for the first time or as a repeat play. Thus it's also a good time to share this long conversation, recorded last year, that digs into the entirety of the series—psycho-analyzing all the characters, tracing themes and recurring gags, and celebrating the innovative filmmaking and powerful performances on display. Filmmaker and musician Chance Shirley is the only man both cool-headed and chatty enough to co-pilot this steamboat full of tangents, so thank gosh he agreed to it.

Prolific author Jeff VanderMeer (The Ambergris Trilogy, Area X, Borne, Hummingbird Salamander) has a knack for creating engrossing and immersive scenarios that straddle the line between a world that is palpably our own and someplace entirely other. In this freewheeling conversation, he discusses his environmental work, his writing habits, and how even his boldest literary experiments are rooted in truth of character.

First-timer Brianna Jones is on the show to talk about this extremely underrated deep deep cut Microphone, collected on the Cast Your Pod to The Wind CD. Learn all about how this song should be in your top five TMBG ballads. Episode edited and mixed by John Walker of the FYIz podcast network.

Comedy writer and musician Jean-Luc Bouchard visits the show to talk Contrecoup off of The Else. We talk about The Onion, ragtime music, and of course phrenology and brain injuries. Episode edited and mixed by John Walker of the FYIz podcast network.

In the first episode of their strange new podcast here on the FYIZ feed, bickering super-fans Mtn_Dew69 and his pal Gavin celebrate the Moons of Gundahar books by doing a dramatic reading, expounding about their fandom, and catching up on movie news concerning the impending Gundahar film adaptation, to be directed by indie firebrand Marlicia Renji-Pirdoux.Be among the first people to even notice our presence on Twitter @gundaharpodcast!!!

FYIz is proud to announce PROTECTORS OF GUNDAHAR, a new podcast hosted by obsessed fans of a deeply obscure series of fantasy books, G. Ellison R. R. Sadler's MOONS OF GUNDAHAR series. It's about as niche as they come but, as struggling podcast impresarios, we're willing to try anything. In this episode, executive producers John Walker and Chris Garrison set the stage for show hosts Mtn_Dew69 and his friend Gavin to explain why you'd tune in for such trivial nonsense. (Hint: It might be the fun kind of train wreck!)

We continue our conversation on the Hotel Detective song series. Listen to episode 74 first, if you haven't already. So once again we join Jon Uleis and Matt Lee and on Part 2 we cover (She Was A) Hotel Detective In The Future and the nutty commentary track about that song. Ep 74 and 75 were edited by John Walker of the FYIZ podcasts.

The human TMBG encyclopedia and archivist Jon Uleis with cool dude pod newbie Matt Lee tagteam Greg with TMBG knowledge and opinions to talk at great length about ALL the Hotel Detective tracks, of which there are four. On this first installment we talk about the original Flans-penned (She Was A) Hotel Detective off of TMBG's debut album, and the parenthesis-free, Linnell-penned She Was A Hotel Detective off of the 1994 Back To Skull EP. Part 2 with (She Was A) Hotel Detective In The Future and the nutty commentary track about that track, well not really about that track, will be on the next episode! Ep 74 and 75 were edited by John Walker of the FYIZ podcasts.

John Walker, host of the FYIZ podcasts as well as an assistant engineer on this very podcast, drops by to talk about Canajoharie off of the album Join Us.

Playing Records with John will continue, but not on this feed. To keep up with new episodes look for "FYIz" in iTunes or go to fyiz dot podbean dot com! Thanks for subscribing and hope to see you on the new feed. This short announcement episode explains it further.
