TWS197: Maintaining Structural Integrity Through Crazy Glue

CQ: We live in an increasingly secular world, but there are plenty of celebrations and gatherings like Halloween which almost demand an acceptance or allowance of the fictional world. What place do such things have in a scientific, rational world?

Bumper: Jim Ryan – for encouraging me during recording late at night!

Promo: Down From 10 by JD Sawyer – Finished the audiobook: erotic, quixotic, mysterious and quite the page-turner! A science-fiction story, a mystery, a hedonistic portrayal.. I dare you to not get hooked after 4 episodes — but make sure you give it all 4!

Promo: Podiobooks  and Fiends by Paul Cooley

Promo: Halloween Haunt

TWS196: Self-Determination By Others

CQ: Forget nature *or* nurture: how much do you have the ability — or even the right! — to determine who you are going to be in the world?

It’s all about the books this week!

Bumper: V & A Shipping by JR Murdock; space adventure with a real heart

Promo: Down From 10 by JD Sawyer; listening to this book now.. very intriguing.

Promo: FETIDUS: The Damned Heir by James Durhum; a lush sound for a hard-boiled detective/political intrique story — set with a backdrop of zombies, werewolves and vampires that not only makes some sense, but means something to the story! Awesome!
