Eric: Podcasts Ahoy!

So there's a couple of podcasts I've taken to listening to that I think you, the Snarkoleptics, would be interested in. The first, Geek Fu Action Grip, is actually done by a friend of mine named Mur Lafferty. Mur's extremely cool, an excellent writer of essays, science fiction, fantasy, horror and Role Playing Games (most notably coolass stuff for Exalted, Mage, and the Warcraft and EverQuest pen and paper RPGs. Mur was one of two essayists I really loved from the old Grumble magazine, and is also just cool people, and her Podcast is fun and clear and usually full of geek-love, including more than a little comics (and webcomics) love.

The second, which I got tipped towards by Mur, is Digital Strips : The Web Comics Podcast with Zampzon & Daku. This is just plain cool, with good production values (and use of music underneath their conversation), and huge relevance to the webcomics world. Their news sources and information and reviewed strips don't hugely overlap with mine, either, which means that listeners get a bunch of new information that slackers like me aren't giving out. That's a very, very cool thing.

I like the concept of Podcasting. I'm tempted to do something on those lines, but I know that between Gossamer Commons, Sekret Projekt J, Theftworld, Trigger Man, Sekret Projekt Wu, and Websnark itself, the last thing I need is another regular commitment. Still, I might try out one just to say I've done it.

Or, I might let the people who are actually good at it continue doing it while I listen.

Anyway. It's late. So good night.

You should guest-star on Digital Strips as a screen test.

Actually, Wednesday should, but I'm trying to be polite :p

Eric has cachet. I have an oversized stomach and bad hair.

"the old Grumble magazine"? I assure you that Grumble is very much alive and well at http://www.grumblemagazine.com!

Eric has cachet, an edible wafer capsule used for enclosing an unpleasant-tasting drug.

That could describe a tasty biscuit with qualifiers.
