Fiction/Writing and Tabletop RPG Podcasts for 2007/11/01

Every Thursday, I post links to various podcasts that deal with the topic of fiction, writing, and tabletop RPGs.

Halloween and NaNoWriMo goodness approaches! For last week's round-up, in the fiction side, the Jamais Cascio interview tickled my fancy as he talks about the relation between science fiction and futurism, while for tabletop RPGs the interview with Kevin Sembedia of RIFTS fame.
