S9 Ep8

Horny chaotic god energy is what we’re all about in today’s Ditch Diggers, “Data Wonking with Podmother Gail Carriger” where Gail joins us to talk about sifting through data in self publishing. It is some heady stuff, and we discuss tying your self worth to “bad” data and more!

Gail Carriger: 30:30 (ish): My sense of failure will kick in when a reader says I love Gail Carriger. And I didn’t know she had a new book out, that’s when I feel like I failed at my job. I am an author, that’s the one job I had is to make sure that people who liked me can read my new books, right? That’s it.
