Somehow this email from Jun 6 got lost. Sorry for the delayed notification, but Soccergirl has posted the audio from her live show at Balticon. I had the pleasure of engineering it for her and really enjoyed the opportunity.
Listen here.

This episode is awesome. We talked with Matthew Wayne Selznick (WMS) at Balticon 41, back in May 2007, and we talk to him again in July 2008 to update the interview and discuss his Sovereign Summer Sunday, July 13, 2008. In fact, it’s an all MWS Balticon Podcast episode with a promo and music by Matt as well.
Matt’s book, Brave Men Run, will be released by Swarm Press on Sunday July 13, 2008.
Check Matt’s blog for more info on his Sovereign Summer Sunday event!
Updates: Matt wants me to let you know some things we didn’t cover in the updates. He no longer offers web hosting and all his podcasts have been collapsed into one called Sonitotum. It is the companion podcast to his blog, Scribtotum.

We just renewed our voicemail line with K7.net and got a new number. This number is good for all the Dancing Cat Studios feedback. But right now, we want your feedback from Balticon 42.

What did you like?
What did you hate?
Who did you meet?
What totally blew you away?
Who did you fall in love with?
How has your life been changed?

Call 1-206-666-2843 now and let us know.

I just found this through Boing Boing. Walter Jon Williams talks about his latest novel, Implied Spaces. At the end of the article is a link to an excerpt from Implied Spaces and a link to a free copy of his Nebula award winning story, The Green Leopard Plague.

I got up early and finished fixing all the files. If you have any file problems, please leave a comment or send me an email.
-Paul

Thanks to everyone who let us know about the file problems. Most of our files were some how invalidated on Podango. We’re in the process of restoring them, but we’re on vacation and it will take some time. We have restored everything up to episode 40. We’ll keep uploading the files as time and bandwidth allow. Thanks for your patients.
-Paul & Martha
