Drinking with Jason

For episode 20, neo-noir transgressive slimstream fiction writer Richard Thomas explained to me what in the hell that actually means. Richard talked about how he started writing late and is working his ass off to make up for lost time. He is the author of over 100 stories and is an editor and a teacher. He makes me feel incredibly lazy. We discussed his Kickstarter campaign (which is great), his long road to writing, and how tough it is to be a full-time author. Richard has published work with Random House, Crystal Lake, Cemetery Dance, and a whole lot more.

For episode 16, Rich brought a bowl of beer. Literally. Rich explained how he got his first book published, translated into foreign languages, and turned into an audiobook. I hate him for his success. We also talked about zombies, of course, and his love the Patriots and 18 packs.

In episode 13, I sipped on some honey bourbon, which was a huge mistake apparently. Neil Turitz whined about it. He probably cried right after the call ended. Neil discussed how he went from having no experience in filmmaking to directing a movie starring Amanda Peet and Ron Livingston. We discussed a lot of aspects of filmmaking and went over the options he’s following to get THE DARK made. Good times were had.
