	<itunes:subtitle>It is with great  pride that I announce the release of my short novel Ideas, Inc., which Alasdair Stuart of...well, everywhere...called &quot;Effortlessly funny, cheerfully dark, and tremendously strange&quot; before he went on to say a whole lot more in this am...</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>It is with great  pride that I announce the release of my short novel Ideas, Inc., which Alasdair Stuart of...well, everywhere...called &quot;Effortlessly funny, cheerfully dark, and tremendously strange&quot; before he went on to say a whole lot more in this amazing review in SFX.

Like the shorter Lantham novels, this is a story designed to give you a rip-roaring, white-knuckle adventure with plenty of laughs and scares in a single, breathless evening. Of course, you&#039;re free to take longer reading it, but I warn you: Once you pick it up you won&#039;t want to put it down.

Available now in paperback
And in ebook through Smashwords, Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, and a few other places as well.

The author of Suave Rob&#039;s Double-X Derring-Do brings you a farce of the tradition of P.G. Wodehouse and Douglas Adams.

Best friends Caleb and Lenny hate each other. Stranded in the middle of upstate New York with two flat tires, one spare, no cell reception, and no idea what to do, they figure they&#039;re pretty much screwed. Fortunately, they broke down right in front of a place that deals in ideas. For the special one-time fire-sale price of seventeen bucks, they can get a pack of seven completely original, brand-new, ultra-premium, never-before-used ideas. But will it get them out of trouble before they&#039;re forced to talk to each other again?

Find out in this hilarious all-night adventure yarn that reveals the terrible truth behind the worldwide pigeon cabal!

Pick your poison, watch your back, and remember: the next bright idea just might get you killed.

Read the first chapter free here as a EPUB or PDF.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>The Polyschizmatic Reprobates Hour was my first podcast, and I still get emails asking for new episodes--in fact, I have five unreleased episode at various stages of completion sitting on my hard drive.

However, Richard Carrier was kind enough to point out to me that all the links at the show page are broken. Turns out the old Wordpress Podcasting plugin just plum don&#039;t work anymore. Since I&#039;m not going to have time to re-do the site for a couple weeks (or, more likely, a couple months), I&#039;m posting the direct links to all the shows here.

		<itunes:summary>Last April, Mur Lafferty was the subject of a fan-driven firestorm around at Escape Pod. The prevalence of lesbians in her magazine was raising a few eyebrows among both people who don&#039;t like lesbians and people who wanted to see more gay men. As is the case with Internet controversies, the point at issue was more or less just an excuse for a good old-fashioned flame war, and in a frustration-inspired bid at surrealism Mur posted to twitter something along the lines of &quot;Escape Pod is now soliciting stories containing gay men, soup cans, and singularities.&quot;

I ask you, how could I pass up a challenge like that? I sent back to her &quot;You&#039;ll have it next week.&quot; Not only did she have it next week, but she liked it, and she bought it. The result is this week&#039;s Escape Pod episode, Chicken Noodle Gravity.

Read by Paul Haring, Chicken Noodle Gravity is the second of The Lombard Alchemist Tales, a series of short stories I kicked off earlier this year with At The Edge of Nowhere. The Lombard Alchemist Tales are stories of mystery, and darkness, and wonder. At the borders of society, around the next quarter, lurking in the shadows, all around us are dark and comic stories fit to unmake our darkest dreams. My job? Find them, bring them to you, and let you figure out how to survive them. Centered around a spooky pawn shop run by a devilish shopkeeper in a broken-down gambling boomtown where some people go there for salvation, some for curiosity, and some to scrape up a little bit of money to buy a few more cans of soup. And sometimes, they get more than they bargain for.

So, with that said, I hope you enjoy Chicken Noodle Gravity. Stay tuned for more fun news coming to this space in the days leading up to Christmas.

Mondu, once an AI designer at the top of the Nigerian IT industry, needed to escape from a life that was eating him alive. He found refuge as a shopkeeper in the depths of the Amazon, at a unique resort. It&#039;s a preserve for all forms of Amazon life--reptiles, mammals, and human and material culture. No modern technology allowed.

It&#039;s the kind of place where some people come here to disappear. 
And others come to hunt them.

Also available as an ebook at Amazon, Barnes &amp; Noble, and Smashwords.</itunes:summary>

This is the story of Rick. He’s a scurrilous, irascible scoundrel, with a heart of gold. Not in the sense of being warm and fuzzy and good underneath, but in the sense of having a heart totally devoted to gold. His favorite goldmine is his shop, an entertainment venue where he vends virtual reality and manufactured novels to his latter-day escapist customers. He runs a tidy shop, he keeps his customers happy, and he always knows the right party to hit to find a pliable college girl with more cocaine than sense. Life is good. But life has a way of doing unexpected things, and the world has a way of changing around the most adaptable people.

So, please step into Rick’s parlor. Don’t mind the bell on the door or the old fashioned cash register. Buy a manufactured novel, fresh from the computer, a first edition. Sit in the easy chair or lay out on the sofa. Strap on a helmet and a skinsuit and take a swim on Europa. He can be trusted, really. It says so on the door. He’s completely upfront with his advertising. In ten foot high letters, right above the shop front, he tells you what they do in his place:
“We Create Worlds.”

And he does it on the cheap.</itunes:summary>

Have you ever seen that well-dressed man at the airport, or the station, who stands patiently by as if he has all the time in the world?  Have you wondered who he was waiting for, and how long he&#039;d stay?

Join me in this episode as I take you to the mountains of Northern Italy at the dawn of the 22nd century for the story of a woman and a train--and of a walking stick and the man who owns it, as he waits for Train Time.</itunes:summary>

I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve read as much in one summer in at least a decade, and I&#8217;ve written 150k words and still going—might even hit 350-400k for the [...]]]></description>

This doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re not still earning money&#8211;some of them are earning quite well, thank you.

Happy Christmas, everyone!  

Sometime in November, new cast member Andrea Fender (playing the as yet unnamed &quot;moon girl&quot;) contacted Dan after her first recording session and said something along the lines of &quot;That was fun! Let&#039;s do some more!&quot;   

Since Dan didn&#039;t have any more of Free Will written at the time, it was decided that a holiday themed poetry reading, to be posted on Christmas eve, like a Christmas present, would be just fantastic.

Which is just what they did.

Dan Sawyer

Works performed: 
The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill - Robert Service
The Cremation of Sam McGee - Robert Service
A Visit from St. Nicholas - Clement Clarke Moore

		<itunes:summary>Those of you who read my blog will have seen my review of Gail Carriger&#039;s Soulless.  There was something that I didn&#039;t tell you in that review.  When I read Soulless, I was so impressed with it that I offered Gail my services pro bono as a claviger...um...as a production wonk to help promote the book.  

Now, a month and a bit on, after much labor and much laughter, I am pleased to present all of you with the world debut of the first chapter of Gail Carriger&#039;s Soulless in full-cast audiobook format (complete with music, soundFX, and soundscaping). This sample offers you a taste of the romp you&#039;ll be in for when you read the book.

You can pre-order Soulless from Amazon, and read Ms. Carriger&#039;s ever-entertaining blog as well.

Cast (in order of appearance)
Angela Vernon     as   The Narrator
Chris Lester        as   The Unexpected Vampire
Miss Kalendar      as   Alexia Tarrabotti
George Chlentzos as   Lord Conal Maccon
J. Daniel Sawyer  as   Professor Lyall

Directed by J. Daniel Sawyer
Produced by ArtisticWhispers Productions

This one features Miss Kalendar along with Chris Lester and Kitty Nic&#039;Iaian.

This is it, folks, the final round of Dealing In before we get to Down From Ten.  We toast the successful conclusion of Predestination and look forward.  Some info on Down From Ten here, as well as some very involved conversations about the themes of Predestination, the possible interaction of quantum mechanics and consciousness, and the nature of trust.  Not to mention a LOT of laughs, some inside information on what I&#039;m like as a director, and lots of other stuff.  This is one of three episodes in this final Dealing In saga -- 61 minutes of audio goodness here.  Enjoy!!!

We continue our conversation about science in the ancient world, discuss the works and missteps of Rodney Stark and his theory of the scientific revolution, read and discuss ancient documents germaine to the topic, and talk about the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire.  Hera Flea returns with more Reprobates News, and Danny Schade continues to supply additional questions and commentary.

Next time, in about two weeks, we&#039;ll talk to Cory Doctorow about DRM, Freedom, Surveilance, and Linux.

		<itunes:summary>Hey Everyone,

It&#039;s been a long time!  Before my life was swallowed by the podcast of my novel Predestination and Other Games of Chance, I recorded quite a bit for Reprobates Hour.  So now, to kick off part 2 of Season 3, Richard Carrier returns to talk about science in the ancient world.  We discuss the works and missteps of Rodney Stark and his theory of the scientific revolution, we talk about the amazing and usually forgotten scientific and technological discoveries and innovations in the ancient world, and have a lot of fun along the way.  In this first of three episodes, we talk about science in the Greek world.  Next week, we talk about the Roman world.  Hope you enjoy!

The Reprobates are back in town -- spread the word!</itunes:summary>

The Climactic episode of Predestination clocking in at 37mins.  This is easily the most acoustically complex episode of the series, with more kick-ss original music by Danny Schade.  P.G. Holyfield joins the cast, too! 

But that&#039;s not what you&#039;re interested in.  You want to know what happens, and I can&#039;t even ask you provocative questions because it might give something away.  So, without further ado, the climax of Predestination.

Heya Everyone, episode six of dealing in is here.  Due to my long absence a LOT of feedback had piled up.  This one&#039;s an hour long, and it&#039;s part one of two or three.  My cohorts and I deal with an epic email from a former drunk emailer, now sober, we talk Marxist social theory, and we take on some very probing listener questions and some of the most creative death threats yet.  Enjoy!

Heya Everyone -

Between flying kiwis, killer throat ailments, and hard drive corruption, January has been a rough month for Antithesis and for all of you I left hanging on that awful cliffhanger.  However, take heart!  There is good news.

Part two of the Sex Roundtable is here.  This time, Chris Lester is hosting it on his feed over at Metamor City and we&#039;re running it concurrently here.  Consequently, this one&#039;s got his opening credits on it instead of mine.  This episode picks up the discussion pretty much where we left off, give or take a bathroom break, and concentrates a little more on sex in Metamor City, but there&#039;s still plenty of sauciness and chatter about Predestination to keep all of you who aren&#039;t listening to both shows interested. 

Look for part 3 soon!</itunes:summary>

This is an excerpt from the feedback show I did with Chris Lester for The Metamor City Podcast.  Alcohol, chocolate, and Kitty Nic&#039;Iaian conspire with Chris and I to answer one of Chris&#039;s emails from a heterosexual female listener who complained that her orientation was not being well represented in Metamor City.  This lead to a discussion of how Chris and I each deal with gender identity and sexual orientation in our novels, and the reasons that we&#039;ve chosen to approach these topics in the way we have.  

As I mentioned, this is a small piece of a larger conversation that will be available soon on the Metamor City feed.  I hope you enjoy!</itunes:summary>

This is a rabbit trail that Chris Lester and I went down at the end of recording Dealing In, Episode 3.  It&#039;s about 25 mins long and pretty heady, so I decided to break it off so you can take it in smaller chunks.  It followed right on the heels of the end of that episode, so you can just pick the conversation up here, if you like.  For those of you interested in Chris&#039;s and my opposing views on what religion is good for, and how it effected the development of Western thought, you&#039;ve come to the right place.

I hope you enjoy!</itunes:summary>

Head on over to hear a tale of a 100-years too early scientific and technological revolution that happens because a stable boy gets caught working on a steam engine.

What makes the Lunar colony work?  The docks, that&#039;s what.  And tonight, that&#039;s where we&#039;re going, following Cassy on her investigation of the enigma that is Scott Walters and trying to piece together the clues to what&#039;s really going on inside her own organization.  

It&#039;s a long one this week again - 45 minutes - with new characters and new aspects of the world that will, hopefully, hold your attention at least through the end of the episode.

This week&#039;s in-show promo is for I Should Be Writing, THE go-to podcast for beginning authors hosted by the erudite, funny, and straight-talking Mur Lafferty.  If you entertain any literary ambitions, her podcast is the place to start.

Cast this week (in order of appearance):

Steven H. Wilson as William Ellison

Chris Lester as Rison

Jonathan Sawyer as Furgeson and The Comuter Tech

Kitty Nic&#039;Iaian as The Spaceport Announcer

Geroge Chlentzos as Doug Reeves

This week, we follow Jim to the commune of the Children of Light, while Ali makes a decision about the future of the business.  

It&#039;s a long one this week - 40 minutes - I hope it makes up for my protracted absence due to post-convention illness.  Watch my blog in the coming weeks for posts about my time at Steamcon a.k.a. Steam Powered, and other fun things coming up here very soon.  I&#039;m back in the swing of things, and intend to keep swinging.  Thank you all so much for your supportive emails - they&#039;ve been much appreciated.

Feedback show this week - a thanksgiving present for you. 

Michael Spence, author and anthology editor, brings us the Story So Far this week.

This week&#039;s in-show promo is for Erotica A La Carte, Phillipa Ballantine&#039;s current foray into the racy and disturbing.  Excellent stuff she&#039;s producing over there - definitely worth a listen.

Cast this week (in order of appearance):

Brian Levy as Jim Hartman

Steven H. Wilson as William Ellison

Renee Wilson as Marjorie

Erin Ballibanian as Alyssa Hartman</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>Apologia, the semi-weekly Mclachlan Group-style ethics and philosophy roundtable that I participate in, returns today with two episodes recorded over the last month.  The first is a lively discussion between the secular folks in the group about the ethics of love, sex, and marriage.  We cover polyamory, bestiality, incest, divorce, positive sexuality, homosexuality, abstinence, relational obligations and ethics, and probably a few other things I don&#039;t quite remember.

Have a listen here:



The second is a departure from the usual format.  The theists at the roundtable decided to play a game called &quot;Stump the Atheists.&quot;  Essentially, us on the secular side of the table stood for the firing squad while the believers asked probing questions, trying to find the cracks in our worldviews and philosophies.  You can listen to that one here.


If you want to interact with us on the panel, please post feedback to the Apologia blog.</itunes:summary>

Late again.  The extra recording time to get ahead is taking its toll, but I&#039;m getting some more help behind the mic here, so all is not lost.

This week&#039;s episode is very violent and upsetting - no kidding.  If you&#039;re a Sigler fan, you&#039;ll feel right at home.  Whatever you do, don&#039;t listen to this one with the kids in the room. 

Kudos once again to Robin Hathaway and Steven H. Wilson for their breathtaking performances this week.

Don&#039;t forget about the meet&amp;greet on October 4th!  If you&#039;re in the SF Bay Area, come to Jupiter&#039;s in Berkeley, on Shattuck near University, for a meet and greet with myself, Chris Lester, and Seth Harwood.  It&#039;s going to be a fun evening, and I&#039;ll have some freebies for those who attend.

This week, we find out what Percy&#039;s assignment was, and how he manages to carry it out without Marian being any the wiser, and then we follow the beginnings of the ripples from his assignment as they touch Washington and Luna City.

This week, our composer Danny Schade - also of the Reason-Driven Podcast and Apologia brings us the Story So Far.

Cast this week (in order of appearance):

Robin Hathaway as Marian Shelley

Steven H. Wilson as Percy Scott

Nathan Lowell as Senator Bill Shelley

Kitty Nic&#039;Iaian as The Computer Voice</itunes:summary>

Are you doing anything on October 4th?  If not, and you&#039;re in the SF Bay Area, come to Jupiter&#039;s in Berkeley, on Shattuck near University, for a meet and greet with myself, Chris Lester, and Seth Harwood.  It&#039;s going to be a fun evening, and I&#039;ll have some freebies for those who attend.

As for this terribly late episode?  Better Nate than Lever, I always say.  Stay tuned for the show banter at the end of the show for other news about the series.  

This week, we join back up with Percy and Marian, and with Joss, and we find out more about who Cassy is, and what her life is like when she&#039;s not capturing and seducing defectors.  Not to be missed!

This week, the estimable Nathan Lowell, author of the excellent Golden Age of the Solar Clipper science fiction series available on Podiobooks.com joins the cast as the inscrutable Senator Bill Shelley.  

Chris Lester, the author of the Metamor City series, brings us the Story So Far this week.  I haven&#039;t - and won&#039;t - ask someone to do the Story So Far if I don&#039;t like their work, but Chris is one of those whose work isn&#039;t just good, it&#039;s fantastic.  A really potent blend of dark fantasy, noir detective, science fiction, and deep character drama, he&#039;s a thorough thinker with a keen eye for human nature, and his stories hold a very effective mirror up to the audience.  I&#039;ve yet to hear one of his stories that doesn&#039;t seduce from minute one, and transform by story&#039;s end.  His stuff isn&#039;t for the timid, but it is very striking.  
Cast this week (in order of appearance):

Robin Hathaway as Marian Shelley

Okay, I know, it&#039;s late again.  I&#039;m really trying to get ahead on these and they keep kicking my ass, as real life bears down on top of me.  Hopefully, next week will actually be on time.

This week, we find out what happens to Joss after he escapes the Hartmans, learn about oranges in the sky, and meet a couple new characters as the camera pulls back and we get to see more and more of the universe our characters inhabit.  Turn down the lights, lean back, and enjoy!

This week, the incomparable Seth Harwood, author of the excellent Jack Palms crime novel series, the spinoff Young Junius, the short story series A Long Way From Disney, and the host of CrimeWav, brings us The Story So Far as only he can.

		<itunes:summary>I have to say, up front, that I&#039;m not a big fan of superheroes.  Occasionally, a stand-out will come along, like the new Batman Movies or the first X-men film, that will stop me in my tracks and make me cheer, but generally speaking, the whole notion just doesn&#039;t appeal to me all that much.  I&#039;m a practical guy - I like my magic to be magic, and my techno-wizardry to have a hard science foundation, and super-heroes always strike me as trying to have it both ways: occasionally tipping a had to the notion of science while pretending that things like &quot;radiation&quot; or &quot;viruses&quot; or &quot;mutations&quot; can explain everything.  That, and the writing on most superhero stories is pretty spare and juvenile.

Playing For Keeps is different.  Mighty Mur has delivered  The writing is smart, the characters are well drawn and have surprising depth, and she sneaks in the thought-provoking concepts in sophisticated, subtle ways, teasing the moral, ethical, philosophical, and emotional implications of her universe out one thread at a time.  It&#039;s the kind of book that is a good, fun read the first time through, and then you find yourself turning it over again in your mind a week or two later, until you decide to go back and read it again to find out what it was that you missed.  Something hooked your subconscious, and you don&#039;t know what.  Playing on three levels: the superhero story, but delightfully satirized, the human story of social rejects getting revenge, and the philosophical level where the reader is invited to ponder what simple concepts that we encounter ever day - such as ownership and respect - really mean when you dig down into them, Playing for Keeps delivers depth and challenge wrapped up in pink spandex.  Funny as hell, witty like Wilde, and filled with cliffhangers from start to finish, this is one book you shouldn&#039;t allow yourself to miss.

Mur&#039;s making her run on Amazon today - - not tomorrow, as I mistakenly said in the latest Antithesis episode -- so if you can order today, do so.  If you can&#039;t, do order as soon as you&#039;re able.  This is one talent that the world deserves to discover, and pushing her out into the limelight with her first novel here is a big step towards that discovery.</itunes:summary>

Here we go, boys and girls, with episode 3!  Will Joss give into his conscience, or will he save his hide and get off the station as soon as possible?  Whatâ€™s really going on with Jim and Ali?  And what else is going on in the world that might change the equation?  This is where you find out.

This week, the multitalented Steven H. Wilson, author, director, and star of The Arbiter Chronicles, joins us this week for a painfully brief one-line performance introducing one of our major characters. Heâ€™ll be back, and back, and back over the coming weeks in a number of different roles. If you havenâ€™t found his series yet, check it out - and also check out his book Taken Liberty, available on Amazon and in a tamer version on podiobooks.com. He writes like the love child of D.C. Fontanna and Robert A. Heinlein; his stories are light and entertaining with a well-hidden but very sharp, serrated philosophical edge.

Cast this week (in order of appearance):

Steven H. Wilson

Erin Ballibanian as Ali

Brian Levy as Jim

Stephanie J. Sawyer as Cassy

Kitty Nicâ€™Iaian as Airport announcer</itunes:summary>

To kick off the Antithesis series, I&#039;m bringing you a story that&#039;s just at the edge of what Sculpting God normally deals with.  Still a bedtime story for adults, this one tells the story of Mondu, a pawnbroker on a nature preserve in the Amazon rainforest, and a customer who walks into his store and turns his life upside down.   When you&#039;re looking for excitement, or an escape from boredom, be careful what you wish for.  You might get The Man In The Rain.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>The new Apologia is out.  In this episode we depart from the recent spate of dealing with issues where religion historically sets the agenda and tackle a topic straight out of later twentieth century Western philosophy.  The point at issue:

Is eating meat an ethical act, or is it not?

It&#039;s a fascinating discussion, populated by very intelligent and thoughtful folks on each side.  The after-show discussion at the Apologia Blog has been quite vigorous as well.  Drop by, give it a listen, post your comments.  This is a hot topic in the last few years, and is all the more pointed now with the issues of climate change and rising food prices grabbing headlines.

		<itunes:summary>Think you can take the future?  It&#039;s coming.  And the narrator of this week&#039;s Sculpting God is one of those people who are going to give it to you.

Meet Rick. He&#039;s a scurrilous, irascible scoundrel, with a heart of gold. Not in the sense of being warm and fuzzy and good underneath, but in the sense of having a heart totally devoted to gold. His favorite goldmine is his shop, an entertainment venue where he vends virtual reality and manufactured novels to his latter-day escapist customers. He runs a tidy shop, he keeps his customers happy, and he always knows the right party to hit to find a pliable college girl with more cocaine than sense. Life is good. But life has a way of doing unexpected things, and the world has a way of changing around the most adaptable people.

Take a step into Rick&#039;s parlor.  Don&#039;t mind the bell on the door or the old fashioned cash register.  Buy a manufactured novel, fresh from the computer, a first edition. Sit in the easy chair or lay out on the sofa. Strap on a helmet and a skinsuit and take a swim on Europa. He can be trusted, really. It says so on the door. Heâ€™s completely upfront with his advertising. In ten foot high letters, right above the shop front, he tells you what they do in his place:
â€œWe Create Worlds.â€

And he does it on the cheap.

 Warning: This episode of Sculpting God is intended for adult audiences, and has content that is probably unsuitable for children and the easily offended.  Strong language, dirty euphemisms, sexual themes, and disturbing subject matter.
