Special Halloween episode: “Stranded” by Phil Rossi
October 31, 2008
Horror novelist Phil Rossi recently cooked up a terrific tale for Halloween, and asked J.C. to share it with 7th Son fans here in the podcast feed. A huge fan of Phil’s work, J.C. was honored by the offer, and is thrilled to present Stranded, a spooky tale that’ll make you chilled to the marrow.
“Chilling” doesn’t describe just the mood — it describes the tale itself. In Stranded, a blizzard shuts down an isolated stretch of Route 15 … and the people left there learn discover that there is more to fear than freezing to death …

OBSIDIAN: Episode 32 — FINAL episode
October 12, 2008
Welcome to the final episode of 7th Son: OBSIDIAN — and we’ve saved the best for last. Horror/sci-fi author Scott Sigler — the grand poohba of podiobooks himself — has the final story in this anthology, and it’s everything you’d expect from the master of horror podfiction. Called Eusocial Networking, the story is a monster in itself, weighing in at around 50 minutes. It’s brilliant stuff, and well worth the wait.
Scott Sigler is a trailblazer in podcasting and publishing, and his stories and novels are must-listens.
Visit him at ScottSigler.com, and be sure to send him an appreciative email.

October 12, 2008
Welcome to the final video episode of “Voices From the Darkness,” where the stars and creators are 7th Son fans from across this globe. Today’s delightful episode was created by Dan Cohen and his family: Amanda, Danielle and Andrea.

OBSIDIAN Episode 28: “Voices From the Darkness” VIDEO (repost)
October 6, 2008
This is a fixed repost of OBSIDIAN episode 28. The video “froze” in the previous version of this episode, but has been fixed here. Please accept J.C.’s apologies for the inconvenience. Also, please see his note at the end of this post for another apology regarding another part of this vid.
Welcome to the seventh video episode of “Voices From the Darkness,” where the stars and creators are 7th Son fans from across this globe. This is the second of a “triple play” of videos: tomorrow will see the release of the third — and likely final — “Voices From the Darkness” video episodes.
NOTE FROM J.C.: I had some serious issues with the video for this episode. In the process of troubleshooting, I swapped the order of two clips — Geoff Schaadt’s and Jeremiah McCoy’s — but neglected to change their order in the end credits. The credits list Jeremiah’s clip as being “Scene Two” and Geoff’s as “Scene Three.” The video is inaccurate; those credits should be reversed. The correct credits are listed here in the shownotes.
Please accept my apologies, Jeremiah, Geoff and 7th Son viewers.

OBSIDIAN: Episode 25
October 2, 2008
Today sees the release of the hilarious short-short story The Odds by the legendary Wichita Rutherford!
Wichita Rutherford is the world-renowned podcast celebrity. He is recognized as a true pioneer of the podcasting movement and continues to push the envelope with his cutting edge, innovative digital content. He’s also … precious.
When Wichita first came on the podcasting scene, it was obvious he was something special. An interviewer and Bluegrass historian with a knack for making famous people laugh, it didn’t take long for the Bluegrass community to take notice, including superstars such as Alison Krauss, Dierks Bentley, John Paul Jones, Ricky Skaggs, Gillian Welch, Bela Fleck and Doc Watson. These are just some of the superstars who lined up to be interviewed on his podcast, “5 Minutes with Wichita.” Demand became so insatiable that Wichita soon found himself the very first Podcaster with a deal at SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
XM is now Wichita’s “satellite radio home” after his two-year run on SIRIUS. His new show, “The Grand Old Time Machine,” has an unprecedented fan base.
Wichita is also one of the celebrity spokespersons for TreeMe.org, a fledgling non-profit whose goal is to have 25,000 trees planted the week of 4/20/09.

OBSIDIAN: Episode 24
October 1, 2008
Feast your ears on the penultimate showcase short story in 7th Son: OBSIDIAN — The Goodbye Party, by Christiana Ellis.
Christiana Ellis is an award-winning writer and podcaster living in Morrisville, North Carolina. She has been podcasting since September of 2005, when she launched her first show, “Christiana Talks About Stuff.” Since then, podcasting has assimilated all of her free time, much like the Borg. In 2006, she produced a podcast audiobook version of her then-unpublished novel, Nina Kimberly the Merciless, a comic fantasy about the teenage daughter of a feared Barbarian conqueror. Nina Kimberly the Merciless was a finalist for the first ever Parsec Award for Best Speculative Fiction Story: Long Form, and since completion of the podcast version, the novel has been selected for print publication by Dragon Moon Press, coming to bookstores in May, 2009.
Among her multiple other projects, Christiana also produced Space Casey, a ten-episode audiodrama miniseries about a con artist who steals the wrong spaceship. Casey’s adventures earned Christiana multiple award nominations, and was the winner of the both the American Society for Science Fiction Audio’s prestigious Mark Time Award, and the 2008 Parsec Award for Best Audio Drama Short Form.
Even beyond the podosphere, Space Casey has received radio play on multiple radio stations all over the country. Presently, Christiana has some big projects in development, but in the meantime she has been contributing to other podcasts, including Mur Lafferty’s “Stories of the Third Wave,” 7th Son: Obsidian, and the collaborative storyline of the “Pieces Podcast.” Last but not least, Christiana’s “Shallow Thoughts” has been running continuously since April, providing a daily dose of serene surrealism, and earning the 2008 Podcast Peer Award for Best Short Podcast.
