    GOWM 27 - Interview with Odin1Eye - Part 2

    Episode 27 is the second half of my interview with Odin1Eye. Odin is the blogger and podcaster of "View From Valhalla" - the place to go for the best reviews of podcast novels.   If you want to know what Odin listens to besides the podiobooks he's already reviewed, you'll want to catch this episode. And what does Podiobooks.com need more of?  Listen to find out! (Even Evo Terra agrees in a recent interview on PodioRacket #50).  So when you write one of those and put it up on Podiobooks, let Odin and I know ... We WILL listen. If you missed part 1 of the interview, you can find it here.

    GOWM 26 - Interview with Odin1Eye - Part 1

    Episode 26 is the first part of my interview with Odin1Eye. Odin is the blogger and podcaster of "View From Valhalla" - the place to go for the best reviews of podcast novels. I enjoy FREE podcast audio novels, but if you are new to the podcast community there is no better place to start your search for ones you will enjoy. Odin's reviews are balanced and focused on letting you know why you would want to listen or pass on the podcast novels he reviews. Even for people like me who listened to the very first ones, visiting the site every Monday to find new podiobooks or being able to share your opinions about ones you've already listened to is a real service. He's even started podcasting his reviews, both recent and older ones, so please subscribe on his site. On top of all that Odin is a REALLY nice person, great human being, and fellow "Watcher". I consider him one of my best Internet buddies. So what are you waiting for? Go listen already ... and check out his blog. And if you comment on this or any other episode, please email me and enter yourself in the contest that is going on until May 18, 2011 - http://gowmainframe.blogspot.com/2011/04/geek-out-contest-1st-year-celebration.html You can find all things Odin1Eye at: Web site - http://www.viewfromvalhalla.com/ Twitter - @Odin1Eye Email - odin1eye@viewfromvalhalla.com Voice mail - 956-307-ODIN (6346) Every Photo Tells stories - http://everyphototells.com/tag/odin1eye/ Mentioned: Brand Gamblin - http://brandg.com/ Brand's Kickstarter - http://kck.st/mgWI98 Hoad’s Grim by Jack Kincaid - http://www.jack-kincaid.com/enterthegrim/ Clear Heart by Joe Cottonwood - http://www.podiobooks.com/title/clear-heart Scott Sigler - http://www.scottsigler.com/ Philippa Ballantine - http://www.pjballantine.com/ Tee Morris - http://teemorris.com/ The Dreamer's Thread by Starla Huchton - http://www.thedreamersthreadnovel.com/ Dreaming of Deliverance by Renee Chambliss - http://www.rechambliss.com/ Zard - http://jrmerl.in/ Kat Maimer - http://www.maimer.net/ Mick Bordet - http://mickbordet.com/ Bumper: Doc Coleman - http://www.scaleslea.net http://www.niftytechblog.com/ http://theshrinkingmanproject.com/ Promos: Thomas Reed's Bitstrips - http://www.bitstrips.com/user/1222/ http://thomasjreed.blogspot.com/ Spiral Tattoo by Michael J Parry - http://michaeljparry.com/ http://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-spiral-tattoo I can be found and contacted at: Web Site: http://gowmainframe.com/ or http://geekoutwithmainframe.com/ Twitter: @mainframe (or @gowmainframe for tweets just about the podcast) Email: gowmainframe at gmail dot com Voice Mail: 206-350-0528 Songs used are "Space Ride" & "Around", from the album "Around" by Oursvince at http://www.oursvince.com Thanks for listening!

    GOWM 25 - Talking Digital Comics with Ted

    In episode 25; my brother, Ted, and I discuss digital comics. We are both long time comic book fans and we take a bit of time to talk about our thoughts on digital comics and how we think it may impact the comic book industry. This isn't an interview, like most of my previous episodes. Also the audio quality isn't as good as I'd like. But I'm interested in finding out if you'd like more of these kinds of discussions on the show in general, and if you'd like Ted back in specific. So please comment on the episode and make your preferences known. And if you comment on this or any other episode, please email me and enter yourself in the contest that is going on until May 18, 2011 - http://gowmainframe.blogspot.com/2011/04/geek-out-contest-1st-year-celebration.html Bumper: Arlene Radasky - http://www.radasky.com/ Promos: The Weird Show - http://theweirdshow.com/ How To Grow Your Geek - http://www.howtogrowyourgeek.net/ I can be found and contacted at: Web Site: http://gowmainframe.com/ or http://geekoutwithmainframe.com/ Twitter: @mainframe (or @gowmainframe for tweets just about the podcast) Email: gowmainframe at gmail dot com Voice Mail: 206-350-0528 Songs used are "Space Ride" & "Around", from the album "Around" by Oursvince at http://www.oursvince.com Thanks for listening!

    Episode 23 is the first half of my interview with Paulette Jaxton. This was one of my very favorite podcast novels of 2010 ... or any year. When I was surprised at the news that "The Empress Sword" was available, I immediately did 2 things. 1) Put my order in for my paperback & ebook versions & 2) Contacted Paulette about being on the show. Find out why the book and the author are so awesome in this interview. :) (Yes, since the interview an epub version has been released and it is on my e-reader right now!)
