Podcasts for 2007/08/30

Because of the fickle whims of fate (I just thought of this up last Thursday), every Thursday I'll be giving podcast updates on the world of fiction/writing and tabletop RPGs. (And no, there's too much of those that I haven't had the time to listen to all of them!)

Fiction/Writing:

• The Agony Column has several news reports up: a short interview with bookseller Mark V. Ziesing and his wife on the business of bookselling (are books gathering dust?), another short interview with SF author Peter H. Hamilton and why he set up a commonwealth when he already had a perfectly good confederation, a conversation with Seana Graham, a contributor to Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet (a publication from Small Beer Press), and another quickie with Xialou Guo.
• Amazon.com's Wire Blog has an interview with William Gibson on Spook Country. (From SF Signal )
  
• More Agony Column interviews as Rick Kleffel talks with Kaui Hart Hemmings and Dr. Adrianne Ahern.
• The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy has a repeat broadcast of DragonCon 2006 in preparation for DragonCon 2007 as well as their latest podcast entitled "Tough Love" which talks about receiving criticism.
• I Should Be Writing not only has her latest podcast up (which talks about writing advice) but also has an interview with Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey.
• The Penguin Podcast has an interview with Alexandra Koslow (Slacker Girl) and Ron Bliwas (The C Student's Guide to Success).
• Michael Stackpole has uploaded chapters fifteen and sixteen of Fortress Draconis.
  

Gaming:

• Gleemax has a post-Gen Con discussion as they interview Lisa Stevens and Erik Mona of Paizo Publishing and the Ultimate Gamer Test winners.
• Pulp Gamer has a live Gen Con podcast and they talk about the reception of podcasting during the con among other things. They also have an interview with Peter Adkison, and a recording of one of the Game Trade Show 2007 seminars as they give tips on how retailers can survive and thrive in the business.
• Various post-Gen Con news at Accidental Survivors but a good amount of time is spent on discussing mapmaking.
  
• More post-gen Con podcasting and a quick interview with Randy Beuhler and Gleemax himself (so that's what he sounds like!) over at Groovecast.
• Green Ronin interviews Russ Morrissey of Enworld and hosts a round-table discussion with various Mutants and Masterminds writers (bonus points if you get all the comic references!).
• The Tome interviews Wolfgang Baur.
• Canonpuncture has the first part of their post-Gen Con podcast.
• Gamer's Haven has a recording of Goodman Games's seminar (during Gen Con) How to Make Adventures that Don't Suck.
• The Gamer Traveler reminisces on the recently concluded Gen Con.
• Did I mention that that Have Games Will Travel won the golden Ennie for best podcasting? You know where this link leads to.
• Midnight's Lair has comments on various games.
• Son of Kryos interviews Paul Tevis, an Ennie winner.
• Theory from the Closet also has an interview with Paul Tevis and another one with Ryan Macklin of Master Plan (psst, you should stop interviewing your rivals! Unless it's an excuse to assassinate them!).
• All Games Considered covers MichCon.
• The Digital Front is a newly-established podcast and in their first episode, they give an introduction as well as an interview with Steve Wieck, co-owner of OneBookShelf.
• Fear the Boot rants and raves about a lot of things, including Gen Con.
• HeadGames Podcast has Origins interview with Mark Anticole and Aaron Kreader.
• Edit: Here's one tidbit I missed. The Voice of the Revolution tackles a post-Gen Con 2007 gaming world.
