Podcasts!
I've been doing a lot more listening than producing of podcasts in the last few weeks, although I have a few unreleased episodes of Bear's Grove to get out, and I have plenty left to record of Heart of the Hunter.
But I wanted to point out only a small sampling of the podcasts that I have really been enjoying:
Double Share by Nathan Lowell. Nathan's got me hooked something fierce. His stories bring a smile to my lips, makes me long for a time I've never had before. He's over on Podiobooks.com - and I am very sad for some of you who don't have the ability to sit and listen to your stories, because that's the only way you can get his work right now. He isn't about to release via Lulu or some other e-Publisher, he's waiting for a traditional publishing situation to happen. That's OK, but it just means that you can only get his stuff by listening to it.
Shadowdance Podcast with my friend Chris Miller and his good friend (and my acquaintance) Michelle Belanger is one of the most reasoned, rationalist podcast on psychic vampires and the occult that I've ever run into. I would enjoy listening to these two discuss their laundry, but when they talk about fascinating topics they're interested in, it makes for a very agreeable listen.
You'll always get a fairly balanced view that includes the skeptical and agnostic of us who aren't entirely sure there's anything magical going on at all.
Listening to Chris talk about his personal experience on the most recent Shadowdance, it just makes me like the man I know even more: he and I have have had many of the same magical experiences, many of the same conclusions have been drawn.
And, by the way, I am still a huge fan of The Sixty One. Finding musicians like Grace Buford (Cylindrian Rutabega) Nance Brody, Scooter Pietsch, and Hannah has been a sanity-restoring blessing.
Check out my imbedded little Sixty One widget in the sidebar for more info.
Until later, big hugs to those who want them!
