Hey everyone,

in our penultimate episode, Neil Hellegers joins me to talk about the importance of Audiobooks to the genre, SAG-AFTRA, and the difference betweenm stage acting and voice acting.

This will probably be our last episode for a while. Why? Because I want to have a real highlight for Episode 100, to cap the show off at a great place. That means I'll try to kidnap someone (or several someones) at LitRPGcon next month, and end things with a bang! 😄

To not make my Patreons wait, that episode will be free for everyone! Thank you all for your continued support. I couldn't have done this without you.

Today we're (finally) meeting one of the people who influenced my writing at a very early stage. It's my absolute pleasure to welcome David Corbett!

To celebrate the occasion, we ventured a bit deeper into political waters in the Patreon section, but mostly we stuck to the main topic: Writing. David is a classically trained writer, and I found it absolutely fascinating to compare notes, find similarities, and learn something new.

I hope you will, as well! 🙂

Next week, it's Neil Hellegers turn!

Hey everyone,

this week, we got the one and only Macronomicon joining us. This has been a very focused episode, with lots to be learned about the craft, so I hope you can take away some juicy tidbits.

That's not to say we didn't spend a lot of time talking about the genesis of Macro's stories, though! We certainly did! 😄

Hey everyone,

It's my absolute pleasure to introduce my good friend Andy to the world stage!

Besides being awesome, he writes a wonderful story called "The Jade Shadows Must Die", and has been a long-time supporter of the podcast. 

In this episode, we're talking about his writing process, why LitRPG is so well-suited as a haven for burnt-out romance authors, and how he overcame the daunting task of editing his entire novel in a week!

Read his novel here!
