Thanks for the podcast, Brad. It's been a big part of my life for a long time. I'm not a big podcast guy; it's the only podcast I've ever listened to with any sort of regularity. Thanks for keeping me in touch with the writing community and providing a real service to the literary community.

Thanks! I had already gone in a different direction, but I appreciate seeing your work. I will definitely keep you in mind for the future.

I sometimes feel ridiculous doing it, but I often go to considerable lengths to usher my insect friends out of the house unharmed. Or, depending on the situation, I just let them be.

So be free. Learn your craft, create your art, and put it out into the world for others to see uncontaminated by automated plagiarism, state approval, or corporate mediocrity. Only through the act of creation do we flourish, and we surrender it at our peril.

I bring this up from time to time, and it's always crickets, haha. Guess nobody's cool. My wife gets it though, and that's all that matters.

He has bunch of short stories with endings that really pop. Dreamsongs Vol 1 is great. Like you, I didn't love Fevre Dream. Not bad, but not great.

Thank you! I think it's pretty good, but I'm definitely biased, haha.
