Reality Break Podcast

Reality Break will be at Dragon*Con this Labor Day weekend. Again this year, we have a slot on the podcasting track to record an episode live in front of an audience. That will be Sunday at 10 PM, and the scheduled guest is author Keith RA DeCandido. Keith is the current author of the Farscape series of comics from BOOM! Studios. He has written novels in the Buffy universe and the novelization of the Serenity film. Keith is also a long time member of SF fandom, having been involved for almost two decades with the program The Chronic Rift as a cable access show and as a podcast (much like present program’s journey from radio to podcast).

Please come and be a part of the taping of the episode. There will be questions taken from the floor and possibly dancing. I guarantee it will be a good time for all!

Our guest this episode is author William Shunn. This interview was recorded in 2007 but is newly relevant as he is once again podcasting his unpublished memoir The Accidental Terrorist. As a science fiction writer, his 2006 novella “Inclination” was nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula awards. Later this year his collaboration with author Derryl Murphy, the novella Cast a Cold Eye will be published by PS Publishing.

Quote from the show: “My newest story is set aboard a space station. For some reason I can’t explain, I seem to be setting a lot of my stories on space stations lately.”

After many delays for reasons large and small, the Reality Break podcast will be launching this weekend! We are not fooling around here so the first show will be a huge one, featuring an archive interview with the late great Will Eisner. The show will be published over the weekend, so if you want to get ready for that you can subscribe now either in iTunes or directly via RSS. I couldn’t be more excited about this, so welcome aboard as this train leaves the station!
