Roundtable Sightings in the Podosphere

October 10, 2012 Posted by Dave Robison

podcastingI looked up from mixing, narrating, interviewing, and workshopping recently and realized that we have a lot of generous friends in the podosphere.

These fine people have been kind enough to offer Brion and I the opportunity to be a part of their podcasts, either as guests or participants in one way or another. Knowing the work involved in producing a podcast and the importance of providing strong content to listeners, we’re pleased and honored to have been invited to these wonderful Islands of Awesomeness in the podcast community.

Even I had to dig through my memory (and Google) to find some of these, so I’m betting many of you weren’t aware of these jewels of interview goodness. Here they are with convenient links (and if I’ve overlooked someone, please forgive me and chalk it up to a new cerebral condition I call “Frothing Teflon Brain”. Let me know and I’ll add it to the post poste haste). (more…)

A Special RTP Update: Guest Hosts and Writers, Accomplishments and News!

May 30, 2012 Posted by Brion Humphrey

 

Throughout the course of this podcast, Dave and I have been like a couple of escaped mental patients, stalking host after glorious host, strapping them down and forcing them to participate in an experiment that neither one of us believed would be as monumental, thrilling, or just plain fun as this ride has been.

Add to that our guest writers, who came aboard (often tentatively and for good reason) with the skeleton of a story draped across their outstretched arms, hoping, believing, and trusting us to conjure flesh to bone, blood to muscle, and breathe to life what would inevitably lead us all to that one thing we strive to achieve every week on our show: Literary Gold! 

But what happens after the microphones are unplugged and our guests, hosts and writers alike, fall into the dead air silence at the end of the episode?  Where do they go?  What do they do?  What awesomeness prevails beyond the Roundtable Podcast in the darkened writers’ studios and closet offices?

Well, now that I’ve mixed about every metaphor known to man, let’s find out.  It truly is an honor to have the time that we’ve had with the amazing people that have agreed to give up several hours of their busy lives to chew the fat with Dave and I, so here’s a quick update on some of the great people we’ve shared the mic with and a sampling of the awesomeness they’re radiating.
