Welcome, Josh In Japan listeners!
April 29, 2006
Hot damn! If you’re here because of the transcendentally cool testimonial that Josh from the amazing Josh In Japan podcast gave in his most recent episode, all I can say is welcome … and I hope 7th Son lives up to your expectations!
Now I’m a fan of Josh’s show, and I’ve always thought he was a cool guy. But he just hit “minor deity” status in my book after he said these wonderful things about 7S:
“I cannot stand podiobooks. I’ve tried listening to a couple, and they’ve bored me to death. I couldn’t get past the first ten minutes. … I tried out 7th Son. The first chapter just blew my friggin’ mind. I’ve never been able to say that about a podiobook, let alone a podcast. … This book is just amazing. Every chapter is a cliffhanger, I can’t believe it. … I listened to the first six chapters in one night. … Some books start out really strong and die out quickly. This book just keeps on going and going. … I don’t vouch for many podcasts, but this is one you gotta check out.”
I’m totally stoked by the cool feedback. Thanks a million, Josh! And new listeners: Thanks for stopping by. Poke around the site to check out archived episodes, and info on how to subscribe to the ‘cast! And as Josh would say: Mata-ne!

J.C. Hutchins on small WORLD podcast
April 21, 2006
Whoo-hoo! I was recently interviewed by Joseph of the small WORLD podcast, and that chat is now out in the wild, available for download!
The small WORLD is one of my very favorite podcasts, because Joseph interviews such eclectic, eccentric and intelligent people. (We’ll consider my appearance on the show a fluke.) I always feel a little smarter after tuning in to one of his ‘casts. It’s a “must subscribe” podcast, no doubt.
So check out the interview here, or directly download the file here. Thanks to Joseph for the interview!

Monkey at The Table
April 15, 2006
I’m a little late posting this news, but I made a recent “guest host” appearance on The Round Table podcast, a show that explores concepts of mythology in all forms of storytelling — movies, books, role-playing games, the works. The show is a part of the very cool Harping Monkey community.
The conversation’s topic was “Myth in Storycrafting,” and I chatted about how I had applied mythological themes to characters and storylines while writing 7th Son. It was A BLAST to appear on the show, and I want to thank Mick and the gang for inviting me on the program.
So if you’re interested in hearing little ole me pontificate on writing, plot and character, check out Episode 24 of The Round Table here.
If you like what you hear — and are fascinated by mythology and storytelling — be sure to subscribe to the ‘cast!

Now I can’t believe this shit. Too. Cool. For. School.

7th Son has finally “made it,” as far as I’m concerned — the podcast was selected today as Podcast Pickle’s “Podcast of the Day!” Thanks to to Gary and the good folks at the Pickle for their support … and uber-thanks to Keeme, who blessed 7th Son with this honor. I’m humbled and flattered at all the encouragement and support.
So bee-bop over to my Pickle Page and make yourself a fan of the show! And be sure to check out the other exceptional features at the Pickle, including the forums, comments posting for individual episodes and much more!
