And here’s the result of Les and my doing yet another of our intermittent joint podcasts on Saturday. It’s an hour and twenty minutes of casual nattering back and forth over such amazing topics as:
- Troy Davis
- Rick Perry
- Other GOP candidates
- Extremism vs compromise
- Prohibition
- Comic books and the comics industry
- Howard the Duck
- Shakespeare
- Other stuff we’re reading
- Why muting your cell phone during a podcast is a good professional tip.
Plus sundry side comments here and there.
And, honestly, it’s not nearly as organized as it sounds.
Many thanks to Les for doing all the heavy lifting on this, in terms of recording and mixing and all that good stuff. I just sat there and talked, which isn’t that much effort for me, obviously.
RE: Game of Thrones. The books were slow building, like say if you started covering The War of the Roses from the early 1400’s onward with “Richard III” being one of a cast of hundreds. The series moves slowly because of the huge cast and the changing of PoV characters.
HBO did a great job of adapting the first book to the screen, and Peter Dinkledge did such a great job that he won an Emmy.
HBO is in fact doing American Gods, but then again I have really enjoyed all of their Sunday Night shows so far since watching TV again.
RE: Foundation series: Yeah, there are a lot of social truths in that series when it comes to the decline of Empires and Civilizations in that series, need to discuss it with you when next we meet. 🙂
Also, a good podcast and I look forward to the DoF version.
I have ordered the GoT HBO series on disc. Still hasn’t arrived. Margie seems to think I am crazy for thinking she’ll watch it with me.
