Good show again...interview was again good and V and T are getting better each time with their interviewing skills...I had some issues with the sound track getting out of sync but that could have been my connection.Thanks for the show!
That was a solid interview; I just wish it were longer. I could listen to Scalzi talk about books and writing for a long time.Thanks Veronica & Tom!

Hi Becca. Quick question. The kickoff show is already posted at YouTube, is there more to it that will be put up next week? Some sort of bonus episode?
Just was curious.
Thanks and have a great day!
Tom, you looked pretty good without the beard in this episode. Loved your expression when Scalzi described that one particular event in Old Man's War, where the main character set a "first ever in history" record.Awesome episode, guys!
Fine, don't ask the pole dancing question.

Did anyone notice (from the inroduction) that Tom got a lot better looking and Veronica not so much. The long hair suits you Tom.
Awesome interview! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to having time(I'm so friggin busy at work right now) to catch up through all of the OMW books so I can start on Human Division. Still excited to see the interview you did during San Diego Comic-Con. Tom's dictatorial pick is OMW right? :-)
I like the idea of Lem asking a question. Has that happened in any other shows?
Becca wrote: "Check back next week for our kick-off of our August pick, Assassin's Apprentice!"I second Casey's question... was this an error in posting the kickoff the same day, or is there more coming next week?
I think they are exploring different things with the show. It's very confusing. Even Becca it seems! ;-)
Definitely posted in error, blame it on the bad case of 'Intern Brain Farts' that I seemed to have all last week. As for more to come, the next episode will be posted on 8/17!
My favorite part of this episode was seeing that the Earthsea books are going to be re-released with uniform cover design! When I buy series, I NEED uniform cover design; and when it comes to organizing my bookcase...well I'll just say that I've questioned whether or not I have some form of mild OCD.
Anybody else seriously look forward to the Whiteboard Review?
Alex wrote: "Anybody else seriously look forward to the Whiteboard Review?"Yes. Love them. Great work Aaron. I would never have have given authors like H.P Lovecraft a look in before and I've decided to check out RA Salvatore.
Thanks guys! :) I really enjoy making them. The hardest part is definitely keeping them at the thirty-second mark...I'm generally so long-winded I end up having to edit out about half.Back from vacation now and on to the next batch!
I get an enormous kick out of them as well. They've become one of the show's bits I most look forward to. :)
Alex wrote: "Anybody else seriously look forward to the Whiteboard Review?"Oh yes, really enjoy them.
Alex wrote: "Anybody else seriously look forward to the Whiteboard Review?"I LOVE them. One of my favorite parts of the show. But no matter how much I like the segment, I don't think there is anything that can convince me to read another R.A. Salvatore novel...I'm still trying to wash the taste of The Demon Wars saga out of my mouth and I read that 10 years ago.
