From Studio C

So Long and Take Care

2011-07-25T10:11:00.000-07:00

It's been one of the pleasures of my life to share these programs with you over the past few years. I'm so grateful to all of you who have listened, and especially to those who have gotten in touch.

I find now that I have too many competing priorities, so I've decided to put an end to my Podcasting activities, at least for the time being. I will still continue to be active online elsewhere, and may be posting items of interest here from time to time as well. If you're interested in keeping up with my exploits, here are some links.

Thanks again for listening, and I hope that our paths will cross again. In the meantime, take good care of yourself.

Best,

Brian

TableRappers

2008-07-21T10:28:00.000-07:00

My pal Neil Dixon has a wonderful PodNovel out, set in Edwardian London. TableRappers: Persistant Spirit is the story of the penultimate cynic on a collision course with the paranormal.

The story takes place at the dawn of the 20th Century. A diabolical crime forces one man to relive past grief and to depend on a forgotten friend.

The suspense is palpable in this excellent audio novel, available for free at the TableRappers Website.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this program for the story and the production. It's also fascinating to hear behind-the-scenes of the creative process.

Episode 22: Wicked Game

2008-05-02T06:35:00.000-07:00

We return after nearly a year's hiatus with a fresh episode from Studio C - an interview with award-winning author Jeri Smith-Ready.

Her latest novel, Wicked Game, comes out on May 13th. It's an interesting mix of suspense, romance, mystery, Rock'n'Roll and vampires!

I found this book to be a great read, and had a wonderful time visiting with Jeri.
