I’ve just finished The Shadow of the Torturer. Amazing reading, but I have to admit I wouldn’t have understood much of it without your podcast. I was reading at night and listening to your podcast while driving to work in the morning. Thank you! Starting tomorrow the Claw of the Conciliator!

Long day, but we just recorded episode 450!

Sir, this is a maté stand.

Ridley Walker is an amazing gem of a novel.

What is the value of a mercenary contract in Soldo?

Just melting through the impressible forest to talk my mercenary homies into switching sides, how about you?

Recording and hot pot on a chilly night!

"Green grabber" sounds like a Dora the Explorer antagonist, Gene.

Me and the innumerable people who read my skeets

Just heading to my friend's dinner party to tell a few stories, figure out who's the spy, and maybe convince people I'm not a wizard as I transport them to an alien planet.

Yet another cat with a quest for me…

We have to rethink the last 8 years immediately.

Living life under an orange sun like I’m friggin’ Severian from Book of the New Sun over here, am I right folks

Unlike you, we get our news from a reliable source

we all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you

Wijzer: ...but doctor says, "Can't operate on this inhumi. It's my son!" Babbie: Huh huh huh. Horn: I can relate. *Sinew glares*

If a Neighbor asked you to clean out their sewer, would you?

Artist Celestino Piatti (1922-2007) was born on this day. Bibliography: www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.c... L, 1980; R, 1974 #scifi #sciencefiction #art #artist #books

This month we're reading Iain M Banks' The Player of Games, about a whole empire fixated on a board game that defines their culture. What's your favorite use or presentation of a game in literature?

Horn: all right, the game is five card stud. I'll deal. Silk: I prefer gambling as a purely intellectual exercise, and certainly not for a sum as grand as five cards. You'll have to find someone else. Oreb: No cut!

Taking a break from space vampires to see a regular vampire movie tonight.

Nettle and Horn.

Getting ready for another shift in the window of the stationers shop and can't stop thinking about our own dads.
