How did you find out about the Great SCOTT SIGLER?

Posted October 10th, 2007 by Mental

General Topics

I actually found Earthcore on Podiobooks.com. I had just gotten my ipod (in March) and I found podiobooks.com when I was researching getting my pod. I was super excited and I subscribed to a whole slew of podiobooks. I then had to make a trip to Louisiana (I live in ohio) and so on my long trip, I picked this book from the list of podcasts on my ipod.... and the rest is history. I've listened to all his books and as much of his short fiction as I could find. Love IT! Share your own Sigler addiction story.

I'm a paranormal investigator and listen to a radio show called Speaking of Strange. JC Hutchins did and interview or they mentioned his book I don't really remember. Then while listening to Seventh Son, I heard about Infected. Then I checked out the site and was totally hooked.

It's the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.

well...

I found him on iTunes when I found the Podiobooks tab on iTunes. It was right after "Infection" ended. Listened to all of that, got hooked, listened to all his stories, and here I am now listening to them now over and over.

On April 21st, 2008 (21:02 GMT) Damn Dirty Junkie says:

All I remember is that it around the time that the third episode of Earthcore was unleashed. I got directed to Scott's work and I listened to the first episode to see what it was like and then BAM! I was hooked. Damn you, Sigler! Wait, I mean, bless you, my Dark Overlord for filling my life with such wonder. Please continue to enrich our lives.

" good writing, humor and affable cantankerousness".

that trait, cantankerousness, gleefully shows up in his work. Isn't that a great word?

I learned of The Dark Overlord through a magazine called Macformat.

Every month there is a new issue with a DVD full of mac software, freeware and free audiofiles

The very first issue I bought had The Rookie on the DVD. I was instantly converted to the cult

of Siglerism (lol)

Silent Death

On March 3rd, 2008 (12:57 GMT) Walsfeo says:

When I was made brand manager of Silent Death I was told to talk to Scott about writing for us. He was our most creative contributor, and not afraid to turn things on their ear or call me an idiot when I needed the wake up. You'll be happy to know he was just as technologically ept then as he is now. He used to be more punctual back then...

Okay, "WITHOUT" looking them up... can you name the fates and what they supposedly do? I still can, though I have no idea why....

i got curious and looked it up

Clotho, the spinner, who spins the thread of life. Sort of a life giver
Lachesis, the measurer, who choses the lot in life one will have and measures off how long it is to be. Numbers your days, as it were.
Atropos, she who can not be turn, who,with her shears, cuts the tread of life. Can cut it now, or cut it later, so she actually determines your life span. She can cut your life short, so don’t piss her off.

i didn't think the muses were specific

On March 4th, 2008 (14:29 GMT) treed says:

but they are

had fun looking these chicks up (their skirts, sorry, too much teenage hormones in the air to day)

The Muses are known for their music and song, which brings joy to any who hear it.

There are nine Muses, each with her own specialty:

Clio (History),
Urania (Astronmy) (Hence the Planet Uranus, figured it be a woman’s ass it was named after),
Melpomene (Tragedy),
Thalia (Comedy),
Terpsichore (Dance),
Calliope (Epic Poetry),
Erato (Love Poetry) (eros and cupid),
Polyhymnia (Songs to the Gods),
Euterpe (Lyric Poetry).

I don't really do the sigler thing with them... a bit young yet... Shadow Magic, Red Panda, Black Jack Justice... those are more their speed... I'm thinking about introducing my 16 year old to them, but not quite sure yet if I'd like to live in the same house as an emotional teenager during her "time" of the month, knowing she's listening to Infected and we have a pair of Chicken Scissors in the house....

Slice of Scifi

On November 26th, 2007 (14:18 GMT) KnitWitch says:

I was listening to Slice of Scifi alot and just pondering getting back into storytelling through podcasting at the time. I remember thinking that Earthcore was unlike any story I'd EVER heard read aloud and thinking "wouldn't it be great if someone could get away with reading a piece like this for a forensics/storytelling competition?" HAH! ----------- KnitWitch http://www.knitwitchzone.com

NOT PODWSHOW

On November 19th, 2007 (13:35 GMT) Glenn Dixon (not verified) says:

I first found Sigler on Podiobooks - somewhere during Earthcore. I will note that out of two pages of posts here not one single person said they heard of Scott Sigler on Podshow. Only one gives credit to Dawn and Drew. Scott - can't wait until you're free of those boat anchors....... ...just sayin'.....

I was misled into joining the beta clone army back in the day but quickly converted to siglerism in about the middle of earthcore and was one of the pioneer junkies.

Lord forgive me!!!

On November 7th, 2007 (20:06 GMT) stricnin says:

Hi, I'm stricnin and I am an addict. I started using early in the Earthcore days. Back then there were only two major Dealers. Scott and that guy that did Pocket and the pendent. It started out as just somthing to lissen to as cleaned my room. I didn't really understand addicts or addiction until I found my self doing anything to have it with me. I tried hard to hide the addiction put when I pulled the Pioneer stereo out of my car to replace it with a small PC with wireless internet access I was no longer able to hide it. What's worse is that by the time Infection came out I'd gotten my 11 year old son addicted! (Lord forgive me!) What have I done?

Earthcore

...well ok, a BIG burmese dude named Brad burned Earthcore onto a CD for me for my move from Colorado Springs to Omaha...over a year later I'm itching all over and scratching at my veins for my fix. Great start in feeding my addiction w/the 1st episode of Nocturnal Sigler...you sick f*ck.

Earthcore, baby.

On November 2nd, 2007 (07:42 GMT) drunta says:

I discovered Scott before Itunes started carrying podcasts. I was using a podcatcher and was looking for interesting content. I think Podcast Pickle ranked him high and caused me to try it out pretty early into the Earthcore weekly release cycle. So I was probably onboard by Episode 7 or 8 and have been a faithful listener ever since. My son, Sam, is a huge Sigler fan. I let him listen to the Rookie and Earthcore.....but he is a little young (14) for Infection and Ancestor yet. Likely Nocturnal as well.....so he is NOT happy.

no idea
