50-50-50 TOUR HOSTS

To promote the release of the third 7th Son novel, Destruction, J.C. Hutchins created another first-ever in podcasting: a “virtual” 50-state book tour. In two months, J.C. conducted publicity interviews via Skype and phone with more than 60 independent podcasters. The 7th Son: 50/50/50 project — 50 podcasts / 50 interviews / 50 states — generated so much buzz that more than 1,200 newcomers subscribed to the 7th Son podcast in June 2007, the month prior to Destruction’s release.

This world’s-first marketing experiment — and its incredible success — could not have been possible without the generosity of these amazing podcasters. (Many of these shows are not yet listed on this page. Check back regularly for updates!) J.C. thanks them for their help, and encourages you to check out their work.

Love Long and Prosper

Dan and CJ, new parents from Arizona talk about life, the universe, and everything. Middle class living can be a drag, but the Love Long and Prosper Podcast places a humorous spin on the mundane. Segments such as “Private Quarters” (a look inside the life of a married couple on the Enterprise), and “FoodCast” (They love their food) are the meat of the Podcast, but the mindless banter and witty criticisms are the perfect condiments. Hungry for some Star Trek?

The Balticon Podcast

Welcome to The Balticon Podcast. We are all about the authors, fans and scientists who make Science Fiction happen. You’ll find interviews and discussions with great guests as well as author readings, panels, convention events and other items recorded at and about Balticon, The Maryland Regional Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention.

After both attending and volunteering at Balticon for many years, we wanted very much to share our favorite convention with the rest of the world. So much happens at a Balticon, however, that it is impossible to capture all of it. So, at Balticon 39, May 2005, we began podcasting as a way to let the people behind Science Fiction talk about their passion for it. We’ve recorded interviews with the Balticon Guests of Honor, scientists, authors and fans and have even managed to add in a few great convention events as well. We hope you enjoy all of it as much as we did!
