The Chat

Mike Lorenz returns for another wide-ranging chat with Robert about all the problems of the day. And there are so many problems.

Chatting about Robert's travels, reading, writing, genre fiction, the debate trainwreck (we couldn't avoid it), Carlos's vacation plans, the death of the pickup game for kids, the brutality of partisan politics, and the shocking lack of wisdom inherent in the perineal suntanning fad.

Friend of the show Mike Lorenz returns! He and Robert chat about the heat of summer, not letting your smart phone run your life, nuclear power, tailwinds of growth, and money, money, money.

Friend of the podcast Robyn Haines returns to ask Robert many, many fan questions about Girl in the Box, with a few peppered in about Sanctuary and Southern Watch. Part 2 of 2. SPOILER WARNING! If you're not up to date on Girl in the Box, Sanctuary, and Southern Watch, you should probably sit this one out.

Episode #44 - Chatting about Robert's monomaniacal obsession with owning books, why Carlos has given up on being a dictator, why our kids are our greatest joy, Carlos's new AI bestie, and why fans make better Facebook friends than other authors.

Robert and Carlos chat about Robert's latest ailment, the benefits of genetic testing, the plethora of AI tools, the ups and downs of book publishing, and interlude with a garage door. 

If you're an author looking for a manager/agent (CGC's manager has one, maybe two openings) to take care of ALL writer business stuff so you can focus on WRITING, email Carlos at [email protected] and he'll whisk your info to his rockstar manager/agent for consideration.

This week Robert welcomes guest Matt Davis and they chat about stand-up comedy, Matt's dog Cali (yes, that one), the shocking rise of anti-semitism over the last few years, rigged games, the downsides of the justice system, and the gangs of South America.

Reunited and it feels so good! Carlos and Robert are back with a extra-long conversation that wanders through some of the favorite topics on their minds: AI and how it may save or obliterate us, how Hollywood is constipated, why the kids aren't growing up, and the business of authoring.
