I must admit that I spend a lot of my travel time (home -> work -> home) listening to interviews, podcasts and panel discussions on the topic of writing and writers. Often the same ones over and over in case I can learn something new. The Coronavirus has put a short halt to this as it only takes me about three seconds to travel from my bedroom to my new temporary office in the dining room. However, today I needed to make the trip into my real office in Sydney and decided to listen to a webcast where my online pal David Lee Summers<\/a> had been interviewed on 9 March 2020. The webcast is Two Gay Geeks<\/a>. I did not know of their webcast before David was on it but after this will certainly return to listen to more of them. I mean, take a look at the screen shot I took below of some recent episodes and tell me how I could not go back and listen!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now I am sure that you have heard me mention David before. I’ve reviewed a few of his novels. He is a very interesting person, earning a living as an astronomer, being a writer of twelve novels (science fiction, steam punk, and horror) and numerous short stories, and also being an editor for Hadrosaur Productions<\/a> (science fiction, fantasy, and horror).<\/p>\n

David’s interview fills the first half of the webcast (so about 25 minutes give or take). In it David talks about how he got into writing, meeting Ray Bradbury as a 13 year old, about writing series, writing characters and rewriting his first novel. One thing I particularly enjoyed was David speaking about the allure of writing Western Steam Punk novels. It’s a good interview and worth the listen.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I don’t intend to give too much away or there won’t be any point in you listening. To go to the website where you can hear the webcast just click here<\/a>. Also, if you have any good webcasts or podcasts that you think I may enjoy (you should be able to figure out my tastes from my web site) then please leave them in a comment below so that I can check them out.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading<\/p>\n
