OBSIDIAN Episode 15

July 15, 2008

7th Son: OBSIDIAN logoThis week’s must-listen OBSIDIAN short-short is by Dan Klass. This is a masterpiece of audio fiction, and J.C. considers it one of the crown jewels in the OBSIDIAN anthology.

Dan Klass is the host and creator of “The Bitterest Pill,” an award-winning podcast in which he talks about his life on the outskirts of the entertainment industry while raising his kids under the flight path at LAX.  The show has been described by The New York Times as “intelligent,” “endearing,” and “sublime,” and has been featured on NPR, NBC 4, Fox News and in USAToday.com and The Christian Science Monitor.  He is also the co-author of Podcast Solutions: The Complete Guide to Audio and Video Podcasting.

Please subscribe to The Bitterest Pill — and send Dan Klass a well-deserved appreciative email — by visiting TheBitterestPill.com.

J.C. also unleashes gobs of timely news in his “talky-talk” intro and outro, including:

  • Parts One and Two of J.C.’s fun interview with Joe on the OnThePodcast podcast, featuring some delicious tidbits about J.C.’s next book, Personal Effects: Dark Art
  • An opportunity to lend a helping hand to 7th Son superfan Gemini and her family by making a donation at the Time Well Wasted blog
  • A mini-geekout update about Personal Effects: Dark Art, and its state of production
  • The 7th Son T-shirt store at Geeklabel.com is closing on Aug. 15. If you want to snag a shirt or two (at less than $15 a pop), get crackin’
  • The world premiere of a brand-new Celldweller song — this one is the ultra-intense, incredible “Birthright (Birthwrong Remix by Blue Stahli)”. The full song is available here in this episode; download the song for free at FixtOnline.com/FreeDownloads.html

Coming up next on 7th Son: OBSIDIAN: A very special “Voices From the Darkness” episode!
