TRATWD 142 – J. Daniel Sawyer

In this week’s episode I take some time to catch up with author and podcaster J. Daniel Sawyer. Dan’s got a bunch of interesting new fiction coming out this year, and we talk about a lot of it. Plus, because it’s me and Dan, we end up discussing the Bronze Age Collapse and geopolitics and why teenagers feel like adults are lying to them about everything…

TRATWD 141 – Ada Palmer

In this week’s episode I interviewed Dr. Ada Palmer–historian, musician, and author of the award-winning TERRA IGNOTA series of science fiction novels. We had a lovely conversation about world-building, characterization, the business of publishing, the challenges of incorporating freedom of religion in a secular society, and how concepts of wealth and scarcity might change in a world where all one’s material needs are provided for. This was a fantastic interview, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

TRATWD 140 – Christiana Ellis

In this week’s episode I interview Christiana Ellis, the mastermind behind a bunch of cool projects, including Space Casey, Nina Kimberly the Merciless, and the serial detective/adventure story Phyllis Esposito: Interdimensional Private Eye. Christiana had a lot of great insights to share about putting yourself into your work, knowing what you want to get out of your writing, and why you shouldn’t worry about whether your stuff is “original” or not. I had a lot of fun with this conversation, and I hope you will too!
