Friday Fix: Let's Get Pissed With The FDO, the Earl Newton Interview

scottsigler — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:29:34 +0200

Click & Listen: NEWTON GETS PISSED ...

My cousin Francis Donovan Olivieri is really trying to horn in on my podcast. I mean, he ... uh ... has been a bit insistent on getting this interview into the feed. Friday Fix is where it's at for this one. If you are easily offended, if you have any sense of taste, style or decency, you do not want to listen to this one.

On the hot seat is Earl Newton of the Stranger Things high-def science fiction vidcast. If you're new to the Siglerverse, Stranger Things did the first-ever movie adaptation of a Scott Sigler story, when he made Sacred Cow.

The Shot Slut™ for this episode is George Hrab, singer, podcaster, and all-around awesome dude.

The Chop Shop is back from a long hiatus, and kicks things off in style with NOCTURNAL: THRILL OF THE HUNT by Bradley Richardson. This fan-fiction podcast gives you junkie-created stories based in the Siglerverse. It's not "cannon," it's not "official story," mind you, but it is awesome. I thought Bradley's story was great.

Ugh. My cousin Francis Donovan Olivieri is out of the witness protection program, and guess who he contacts first? That's right, me. Seems Frankie wants his own podcast, so welcome to the first-ever episode of "Let's Get Pissed With the FDO™." And just to piss me off a little extra, who does Frankie want to interview first? None other than my nemesis, J.C. Hutchins. The only saving grace to this sad excuse for entertainment is the presence of Mur Lafferty, who served as the "shot slut" for the interview.

WARNING: If you're easily offended, you do not want to listen to this. Frankie is a little bit ... opinionated. And Hutchinsss? A pervert. Enough said.

Click & Listen: GRAMMAR GIRL TALKS DIRTY ...

Yes, the title of this episode of BLOODCAST is totally misleading. Well, it is sorta true. The world-famous Grammar Girl recently talked about cursing in books, when to remove the cursing and how to handle swear words in general. Her example? THE ROOKIE, and the changes from the potty-mouth version to the young adult version. This is the first time ever that Grammar Girl has been bleeped. If you're familiar with her work, it sounds hysterical. If you're not familiar with her, you're missing a very informative podcast. So no new fiction here, but it it's short and a lot of fun. Enjoy!

JACK WAKES UP preview PDF

Cinco de Mayo? No, it's Cinco de Harwood! JACK WAKES UP is a crime novel by long-time podcast author Seth Harwood. It's available in bookstores everywhere today. You may have seen this book before, as he gave it away as a free podcast and sold it as a paperback with Breakneck Books. This version, however, is from Three Rivers Press, a division of Random House, the world's largest publisher. Harwood has gone from a small publisher to the big-time. The PDF linked above is the first three chapters. The formatting sucks and it will hard to read on portable devices, but hey, it's free and it's a good story.

I strongly reccomend this book. If you like Tarantino movies, you'll snort this up with a rolled-up hundo. It's also a good way to support podcasting, and keep pushing the envelope until we see all major authors giving their books away for free as podcasts and letting the customer decide what and how and if they want to buy.

Death surrounds some people, follows them, shadows their every move. For Private Pippa Remic, it's is something she just can't seem to escape. You can't run really run from death when you are the person that always seems to dish it out -- whether you want to, or not.

The episode of THE CRYPT was co-authored with Andy Remic, author of SPIRAL, WAR MACHINE and more. Remic's work is violent and over-the-top. He describes it as "kick-ass science fiction" and that's pretty damn accurate. If you're interested in Remic's books,they are conveniently listed on the rightside of this post.

Now before you start bitching me out that I'm helping that rat bastard J.C. Hutchinssss, you should know that any Dark Overlord must be competent in making deals for people's souls. Hutchinssss wanted me to read his novel Personal Effects: Dark Art and give him a video blurb, or a "vlurb." So I read his little book, and I have admit, it's pretty damn good. I've already pre-ordered my copy. However, I never thought the price for Hutchinssss immortal soul would be so low! I think I got a good deal on it. read more »

Click here to download THE CRYPT: Engineer B.W. Crites

How can you have a starship without a chief engineer? You just can't, it's against the rules of science fiction. Therefore, I give you the story of B.W. Crites, a brilliant engineer who has slung a few too many colorful phrases at a few too many officers. Originated by author Greg Crites and edited/modified by the FDO™, this story should give you an idea of what Captain Travis Ellis will be up against when he orders "full speed ahead."

THE ROOKIE available as an iPhone or iPod Touch ebook app: click here!

The episode of THE CRYPT was co-authored with Greg Crites. Author of DUNKIN, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and my favorite book of his, CRUSADE, Crites is a humorous artist that dabbles in foul epithets the way Picasso dabbled in oils. He is probably my favorite podcast author to listen to, and if you haven't checked out his stuff, you are an ingrate. HAR!

Thanks to all in Phoenix, Denver, Houston and Dallas who came out to say “hey.” Phoenix brought out 63 junkies, Denver notched 70, Houston represented big-time with 65, but the shocker was 78 in Dallas.

CAN CHICAGO, NYC or WASHINGTON, D.C. TOP DALLAS?
That remains to be seen! Three more cities, and the number to beat is 78 Junkies, so bring your friends (and yes, if you take hostages that have never heard of me and drag them into the bookstore, that counts.)

But Pookie has his hands full down below, going face-to-face with the deadly, dog-faced Pierre. The Huey full of gunmen closes in, just as Nick Murray delivers his bag o' guns to Dimitri. It's party time ...

IN THIS EPISODE:
Fifty-seven full minutes of episode -- Bryan has a bad day, Pookie sacks up, Amy deals and Dimitri makes his move.

LONG-WIND WARNING:
Between Scott's rants and a long "story so far" by J.C. Hutchins (a noted enemy of Siglerism), there's about eight minutes of intro in this bad boy. Hey, you got 57 minutes of story, so as Richard Pryor once said, have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

We're almost done, Junkies -- this is the second-to-last episode in this sprawling tale of evolution gone wrong. San Francisco will never be the same. One more episode coming up next week, and then the story of Bryan, Pookie, Rex, Amy, Lanza and Vasiloff is over.

IN THIS EPISODE:
Rex's plan finally comes together as the SS Jeremiah O'Brien departs. Frank Lanza and Dimitri Vassiloff are on board, as are their lieutenants. Bryan and Pookie race to board the ship before it departs, but will they make it on time?

THE CRYPT: Recruit Yolanda Smith

Click here to download THE CRYPT: RECRUIT YOLANDA SMITH

Junkies, howdy-ho. I'm still in Michigan handling famliy biz-nass. I thought I'd try out my portable recording rig and see if it measured up to your listening standards. My guinea pig? Another CRYPT story, this time the sad tale of Yolanda Smith. When you is a ho, the pimp always wins. This is your first peek inside the PUV James Keeling. Just a peek, mind you, the FDO™ wouldn't want to hike up his skirt and show you the good stuff all at once.

This episode of THE CRYPT was co-written by Tabitha "Tabz" Smith, world-famous for her work on Buffy Between the Lines. If you're a Buffy fan, you simply must check out this podcast. Turns out Tabz can kick out some semi-twisted concepts of her own, as evidenced by this story.

I had a chance to zip down to Los Angeles and meet Eric Bernt, the screenwriter for the INFECTED movie. It was a good time, but then I put him on the spot with Junkie questions about the movie. We discussed the filming process, special effects for the triangles, the use of puppies to get that coveted, family friendly G-rating, and when we can expect to see INFECTED in theaters (if at all, many hurdles yet to overcome).

Veterans, the FDO™ says "thanks!"

scottsigler — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:58:19 +0100

A short thank-you to the men & women of the US Armed Forces

Dear Veterans. My thanks for all that you have given us. My thanks to your families for their sacrifices.

Junkies: times are tough, but they are far tougher for our disabled vets. I don't shill for charities that often, but this is my biggie. In honor of our the veterans who served our nation, consider donating a few scheckles to the Disabled American Veterans. The economy sucks and people are losing jobs, but you can always get another job -- you can't get another limb. Our men and women are coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan with severe injuries, and every little bit helps.

Click here to download the Sigler Stank II Book Tour Announcement

Junkies, you all voted, you all connived, and come January here are the cities that best bastardized democracy to bring doom upon the hapless populations therein. I will destroy you all. No dates announced yet, just cities. Once the schedule is announced, I will post it here at www.scottsigler.com.

Chicago	Dallas
Denver	Houston
Minneapolis	New York City
Phoenix	San Francisco
Seattle	Washington D.C.

Scott at a "bookstore" in Seattle: This was a "reading" during the INFECTED book tour. No, officer, I'm fine -- you see, I was just at a bookstore with like-minded educated individuals ...Crown agreed to pay for five cities (including San Fran, where I live, how they scammed me on that one I will never know ...) I felt the voter turnout was so strong, I'm footing the bill for an additional five cities. So the FDO™ will be living on food stamps and Ramens for awhile, so frickin' what? It's worth it to spread my Stank to so many deserving Junkies.

Washington DC was the #1 vote-getter. I'm expecting a turnout of at least 80 people at that one, so y'all better bring a friend. Yep, Texas got two stops, because Texan Junkies are just that hardcore. Some Texans drove four hours one way to see me last year, so this is the least I could do to return the love.

Bottom line? Get your ass out to see me. If you don't, even if you hide in a Denny's (the only approved Siglerism Bomb Shelter), I will still find you and kill you.

Junkies, I'm still ass-deep in the quagmire of family issues, but fortunately I have a fix for you. This story is called EUSOCIAL NETWORKING, and it comes straight from the feed of J.C. Hutchinssss! Yes, I decided to corrupt his feed with Siglerism goodness (kind of like peeing your name into your neighbor's snowbank).

This MP3 has some jibber-jab from Hutch, then my 50-minute story. Boom. Drop my fluid like a chemist. So listen to his Hutchness do his thing, then jump on my business. If you like the world you hear, do check out the rest of the 7th SON OBSIDIAN stories and the 7th SON trilogy (which, I hate to admit, is pretty fucking good).

Scott on Internet Superstar: Martin Sargent grills the FDOClick here to watch Scott's
interview on Internet Superstar

I have pulled yet another coup, landing some sweet, high-quality video that I didn't have to produce. Again. Yes, I'm impressed with myself, but what's new?

I look particularly corpse-like in this one. I also sound like a moron in several places. Go ahead, Junkies, have a laugh at my expense. Internet Superstar is a show on Revision 3, home of EPIC-FU and DIGGNation. Hosted by the high-energy Martin Sargent, this show covers -- you guessed it, the "internet famous."

There is a ton of graphics work on this, they did a great job on the interview and it moves really fast. Check it out.

scottsigler — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:31:56 +0200

Ninja will kill you with this book: Look for the Ninja Handbook in stores September 9Click here to play The Ninja's shout-out to Junkies

Ask a Ninja Presents The Ninja Handbook is the world's foremost guide to killing people. And monsters. And probably trees, too, but only if they get bitchy. And maybe rocks if you have a big enough hammer, and Ninjas do.

If you guys haven't seen Ask a Ninja, you are missing out on one of the best things the internet ever kicked out. The show is absolutely brilliant and will make you laugh your ass off.

What's more, Ask a Ninja is part of the reason I have a book deal. When the big publishers were wondering if this "podcasting fad" had any legs, they were looking at shows like Ask a Ninja and seeing the insane download numbers online media can create. All the J.C. Hutchins, Scott Siglers, Seth Harwoods and everyone else who's dancing with the big publishers need to tip their hats to these guys for paving the way and showing just how big online media can get.

I'm buying this book tomorrow. I will definitely use it to kill someone.

And for those of you who know THE ROOKIE, you know that Kracken's linebacker John Tweedy quotes the Ninja when he meets opposing players. Like you need more of a reason than that?

BONUS SHORT FICTION: The Torpedo

scottsigler — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:40:51 +0200

Click here to download the short story THE TORPEDO

This story originally ran on Mur Lafferty's "Stories of the Third Wave" fiction podcast. I wanted to get it in our feed for the Junkies who do not listen to Mur's awesome stuff. THE TORPEDO is a humerous take on some conventions of the superhero genre. I originally made this story to help promote Mur's book "Playing for Keeps," but liked the results so much I though you might like to hear it. In other words, I thought it was funny as fuck. Enjoy.

TECHTARD™ UPDATE:
Initially, I accidentally posted the link to Mur's PDF of the book instead of the MP3 link, so the PDF may have downloaded to your pod-catcher. Downloaded a second time, you see, because I already posted the PDF once. That's just how we TechTards™ roll. Well now I have the correct link in here, so listen in already. read more »

NOCTURNAL #28 will post 5-28-08

scottsigler — Wed, 28 May 2008 02:55:08 +0200

First of all, wishing the best on this Memorial Day to any of you who have lost a loved one in the service.

A big triple-whammy hit home this week to delay the episode. First, I was the Toastmaster at the BayCon scifi convention in Santa Clara, CA. Good times! I introduced myself as "the toastiest thing this side of a Denny's breakfast bar," and the good times just rolled from there. I can say with a straight face that I had a few beverages at a Klingon party, then stood in the hall I designated as "the tough part of the hotel" and screamed "just keep on walkin'!" to the people in bad fairy costumes, then finished the night with a live performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show by "Barely Legal." Two in the morning comes with a price tag, my friends.

BayCon occupied me through Monday night. Second part of the double-whammy? NOCTURNAL Episode #28 looks like it will be over an hour of pure story. I've been recording and editing all friggin' day. Seven hours straight.

The third wammy? I have a tight deadine for the first draft of CONTAGIOUS and have to write that at night, no exceptions. When I don't have a NOCTURNAL episode due, I'll be writing CONTAGIOUS all day.

So, NOCTURNAL Episode #28 will post on Wednesday, May 28.

OBSIDIAN: Excuse me, Hutchinsss, while I steal the show ...

(this is NOT an audio file, people)

OBSIDIAN: I hate Hutchinsss ...

Now you guys know that I am at war with J.C. Hutchins. Actually, we have a truce at the moment while I deal with Julie Andrew's attack on Siglerism. So that baby-faced bastard had the audacity to take advantage of this Andrews-induced detente and asked me to do a story for his OBSIDIAN/7th SON project. At first, I said "no." Actually, what I said was "you go fuck yourself, J.C. Hutchinsss!" Then, Pope Siglericus piped up with a thought -- the best way to hurt someone is to take what they love most. So, I agreed to provide Hutchinsss with an OBSIDIAN short story in order to steal the spotlight from his whole project. I wrote a real hum-dinger, too. Now you guys know that I would never brag, but this is some of the best short fiction I've written yet. Actually, it's like 9,000 words, so it's a novella.

Now I'm not the only guy helping out with this. Do the names Lafferty, Morris, Nemcoff, Stackpole, and the nipple-pierced felch-monster known as Matt Wallace ring any bells? Enough talk: click here to learn more about OBSIDIAN.

Will you like my OBSIDIAN story? Well, do you like combinations of:
1. Mutants
2. Insects
3. Violence
4. Finger snippage
5. The FDO™ single-handedly solving all the world's energy problems?

If you like three or more of these things, you are mine.

BOOK SALES:
We got some preliminary numbers in, they are strong, but not as strong as they should be considering the size of Siglerism -- if you like these free podcasts, grab yourself a copy or buy one as a gift.
