Shows From the Murverse

[Good lord- this went out without the link. And only one of you told me...]

The Ditch Diggers come to you live from Jodie Foster's Very Busy and Very Important Staff Room with special guest, author of SMOKE EATERS and DAUGHTERS OF FORGOTTEN LIGHT, Sean Grigsby!

Matt explains that this is their second go at recording the intro, and how he is Busy and Important.

We discuss the history and mythology of Teddy Ruxpin (no, really), and Sean promises to perform a metal cover of the Teddy Ruxpin theme.

Sean was supposed to be a guest at Ditch Diggers Live! at WorldCon 2018, but it didn't work out.

Sean talks about who he is and the books he writes.

Also, Sean is a firefighter who, the day before recording, literally saved a puppy from a fire.

The Ditch Diggers and Sean discuss how the various non-writing jobs/careers they've pursued (such as firefighting and pro-wrestling) influence both the way they approach writing and the way they approach the business of publishing.

Legendary pro-wrestler and wrestling promoter Bill Dundee's sexual fetishes are briefly discussed.

Matt asks Mur and Sean, "If you could go back ten years and tell your younger self one thing about the publishing industry, what would it be?"

Twitter Q&A! The incendiary topic of which cheese is best is thoroughly dissected, and we answer some actual freelance writing industry questions, too.

The customary end-of-episode shilling occurs.

Frankly, I'm in a podcasting slump, and change needs to come to keep me from podfading. I talk about some of those changes here, and then we get to the Sherrilyn Kenyon interview.

Mur and Matt come to you live from Jeff Goldblum’s Douglas Adams Appreciation Center with special guest co-host, Brooke Bolander! Mur explains the location of the show and how it relates to the Ditch Diggers’ struggles to book Brooke on the show (hurricanes, travel, and sick animals were involved). Everyone catches everyone else up on […]

Time to read all those cherished stories and drink cocoa. Or take your dog to the ER and post this late, cause that’s what I did.   *She’s fine.

Yeah, the weekend and the sick dog threw me off big time. Sorry about the sloppy posting of these. Happy holidays!

So close to Christmas! New questions! So awesome!

Happy Yule everybody! It’s the solstice and Matt totally knew that.

Mur isn’t feeling well so Matt continues with the burden of carrying the conversation.

Jodie Foster double booked Days 17 and 18. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.

We’re out of questions and we need more! Email mightymur at Gmail or use #ditchdiggers on Twitter to ask us publishing questions. Till then, we talk imposter syndrome. And Santa Claus.
