Evangelism, from podosphere to blogosphere
May 13, 2006
Folks are talking about 7th Son outside of the podcasting community. In the past week, a few bloggers have written about 7th Son on their sites — which means that the message is probably reaching people who are have never listened to podcasts, or podiobooks.
If these blog readers tune in, everybody wins: Podcasters get new listeners, and the listeners receive some nifty (and free!) entertainment.
Rick Jones said this about 7th Son in a recent entry on his LiveJournal:
“I am totally loving this book. … It’s a techno-thriller that’s quite the ride and yet also does the wonderful thing that science fiction can do: make you do some hard ‘what if’ thinking while you’re enjoying the roller coaster.”
And SuperMoonMan posted this at his blog, Let’s Move To the Moon:
“After listening to the first episode [of 7S]–>I am definitely going to listen to more. This is my first experience with a podiobook and I definitely enjoyed it.”
Awesome. If you’re a 7th Son listener who’s also a blogger, I’d appreciate it if you mentioned 7S — and any other podcasts you’re enjoying — in a future blog post. It’s a great way to bring new listeners to podcasts, and it helps get the word out about 7th Son!

Welcome, Everything2 readers!
May 5, 2006
Just want to give a quick nod of appreciation to any Everything2 readers who’ve stopped by, thanks to Robwicks’ very flattering review of 7th Son on that extremely cool site.
Robwicks had some nice things to say about 7th Son, including:
“The story is one of madness, cloning, and government cover-ups. … I have found the story completely gripping in a manner few books, written or spoken, have been. This is, so far, an impressive debut for a young author, and I look forward to many more hours of rapt listening (and hopefully, eventually, reading) to Hutchins’ work.”
I’ve already profusely thanked Robwicks for his kind comments — but I want to thank you Everything2 readers for stopping by! Check out the episode archive and the site’s exclusive special features. Email/IM/Skype me with any questions you may have. Thanks for joining the descent!
