Book and a Pint

James and Michael are joined by James Reid for a chat with Steven Erikson, author of Malazan Book of the Fallen. They discuss tabletop gaming, the authority of the author in a story, and the sad lack of hockey themed SFF stories.

James and Michael interview author James A. Owen. They talk about his early career in comics, his Imaginarium Geographica series, as well as his newest Kickstarter, Illustrations and Illuminations.

This episode also has the added bonus of not including a random intro by the hosts. You just get a great interview followed by one of your hosts begging for reviews, as is customary with most podcasts.

E Paige Burks joins James and Michael to talk about cat memes, made up memories involving camels and elephants, and how dangerous cows are. They also discuss the greatness that is Pacific Rim. Don't @ me, it's an amazing movie and we all know it.

Michael and James are joined by Kimberly T. Hennessy. They talk about travel, movies, and pizza. James and Kimberly talk up Pineapple on pizza enough that Michael is one step closer to abandoning his diet. James is very proud of this victory.

James and Michael are joined by Author Patrick LeClerc to talk the benefits of writing in multiple genres, what dad jokes mean, and the importance of remembering your guest's name.

Michael and James are joined by Ryan D. Meier, author of The Kept King and Creation Chronicles to talk about mundane uses for magic, William Shatner in a space penis, and just how important a good book cover is.

Ryan also claims he can take 130 toddlers in a fight, which is by far the most confident a guest has been.

James and Michael are joined by Katharine E. Wibell to talk about her writing, why she loves cheesy holiday movies, and her deepest, darkest secret, that she might actually freeze up if confronted by an army of screaming toddlers.

James and Michael are joined by Madilynn Dale to talk about the appeal of shifter romance, Australian wine, and why James is right about fruit on pizza.

Our guest was sick, so we just talk about our own stuff for over an hour. Michael reads from his newest book, A Portrait of Dirk, and James reads from Lightning's Price. It's good, we promise.

J.M.D. Reid joins us to talk about writing and some other stuff, including the launch of the box set of his fantasy series The Storm Below. Michael is also convinced to read light novels. You should send him all your recommendations.
