Podcast for 2007/09/06

I've been listening to podcasts all week (just to be fair to the podcasters I'm plugging) and just when I've gone through 3/4 of the pile, now comes along a new load of podcasts! It's interesting to see Tor get into the podcasting business and if you're an etymology-fan like me, Podictionary is worth visiting.

Writing/Fiction:

• The Agony Column has a short interview with Alan Beatts of Borderland Books and another interview with Laura Furman as she talks about O. Henry. Last but not least is a relatively brief chat with Kim Stanley Robinson.
  
• Tor just launched a new Podcast program and their first episode features Tom Doherty himself and Patrick Nielsen Hayden on Nippon2007 Worldcon. (From SF Signal) They've also uploaded several new podcasts including chatting with Cory Doctorow, George Takei, Patrick Nielsen at winning best editor, Jay Lake, Robert Charles Wilson, and Charles Stross.
  
• The Signal interviews Martin Firrell and gives your regular dose of reviews.
• Podictionary Weekly explores the words library, ditto, dynamite, censorship, and abracadabra.
• The Bat Secundo Show (now that's a guy with personality) has an interview with William Gibson (never thought I'd get tired of typing the name William Gibson), Matthew Sharpe and Megan Sullivan, and Kate Christensen.
• It's Karen J. Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club, over at Penguin Podcasts.
  

Gaming:

• Back in February, the D&D Podcast had a feature on Dead Gentlemen Production's Dorkness Rising (trailer up at their website). My typically male-gamer reaction was that Jen Page is hot! Guess who's Gamer Radio Zero's new co-host over at Gleemax (if my guess is right... also bonus points for OD&D fans as she doesn't play 3.0!)? They also interview Jamie Chambers (actual link to the show!) of Margaret Weis Productions and talk about their new Battlestar Galactica game, an upcoming Supernatural game, and more Dead Gentlemen Productions.
• More useful recordings from Pulp Gamer, there's Podcasting 101 from Gen Con and is probably a good listen if you're interested in trying your hand at podcasting (irregardless if it's gaming-related or not). They they have their Out of Character segment in which they interview Wesley Schneider of Paizo and a recording of Polymancer Studios's advice on setting up a booth at conventions, among other things. Last but not least is another recording from Gen Con, this time talking about the equipment and programs used for podcasting. (So should I get into podcasting now?)
  
• All Games Considered talks about their Gen Con experience (sensing a trend here for the past three weeks?).
• Dragons Landing is back! They foray into a new series on Campaign Creation.
• Sons of Kryos has their new podcast up which talks about their experiences during Gen Con.
• Fear the Boot's latest episode is entitled Introducing Players to New Settings.
• Master Plan addresses some comments from Paul Tevis.
• One podcast people should look into even if you're not into gaming is The Digital Front as they talk about electronically-distributed games (which in turn are books/publications). Episode 2 is a recording of the Open Gaming License/d20 panel during Gen Con.
• Bear's Grove Podcast talks about how he likes to design modules and his plans for Dragon Con.
• Carpe GM covers D&D 4th Ed.
• The Durham 3 discuss when it's time to end a game.
• New episode up from Fell Calls.
• The Game Master Show has their Gen Con wrap-up.
• Geek Label Radio has their Gen Con wrap-up as well.
• The House of the Harping Monkey has posted part 1 and part 2 of their Gen Con coverage.
