After a childhood in academia, J. Daniel Sawyer declared his independence by dropping out of high school and setting off on a series of adventures in the bowels of the film industry, the venture capital culture of silicon valley, surfing safaris, bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, adventurers, climbers, drug dealers, gangbangers, and inventors before his past finally caught up to him.
Trapped in a world bookended by one wall falling in Berlin and other walls going up around suburbia and along national borders throughout the world, he rediscovered his deep love of history and, with it, and obsession with predicting the future as it grew aggressively out of the past.
To date, this obsession has yielded over thirty books and innumerable short stories, the occasional short film, nearly a dozen podcasts stretching over a decade and a half, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the world through the lens of his own peculiar madness, in the depths of his own private forest in a rural exile, where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a production company that brings innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.

Will the republish of Free Will be available on iTunes as well?

It should be there now, I went through hell getting all the feeds re-activated. Is it not showing up now?

Nope. Searching for “Sawyer Free Will” I get to The Antithesis Progression, but the most recently posted episode is Mar 15, 2013 “Feeds Back Up, Release Announcement”.
Should I be looking elsewhere?
Rick
It should be on that feed–it may not have refreshed yet for some reason. It’s also on the “Literary Abominations” uberfeed.
If you search for “j. daniel sawyer” you should get a feed for The Antithesis Progression, one for Down From Ten, and one for Literary Abominations (and maybe a couple more, but those are the three big ones).
If you can’t find it in those places, let me know. I may have to tussle with itunes again.

Duuuude. Hearing that guitar riff in the opener sent chills up my spine. Can’t BEGIN to describe what a thrill it is to have this turn up as a regular thing again. Rock on, and keep it up!

Thursday. Nada. Bummer.

It’s up now!
40 minute episode, curiously, requires twice the mixing time of a 20 minute episode, and in the midst of everything else going on here, I failed to budget for it. Oh well, live and learn. Hope you enjoy!
