 S2 E7: The Value of Horror with Robert Price [87:40m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1361)

Dr. Robert M. Price returns to discuss his other, more secret career as an H.P. Lovecraft scholar and his lifelong love affair with horror and fantasy fiction. We talk about the spiritual and aesthetic value of the macabre and the fantastic, and the movies, books, and TV shows that tickle the cockles of our geeky hearts.

Hera Flea is back with a special terror edition of the Reprobates news, not to be missed. Special music for the Reprobates News provided by Jonathan Coulton. His songs “Re: Your Brains” and “Furry Old Lobster” help her tell the story of zombie activists and self-posessed calamari. Not to be missed!

 

 S2 Ep2 - Scott Sigler Interview: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1120)

It’s late, and I won’t have time to do up proper show notes for a couple days, but here is the latest Reprobates episode:  An interview with Scott Sigler about the changing face of the publishing business, the value of skepticism to a writer, and the writing and marketing life of an up-and-coming highly successful author.   This guy is nuts, loads of fun, and definitely not to be missed.  When you’re done with the show, check out his stuff at scottsigler.podshow.com

Recording for the new season continues apace.  Earlier this week Deviant Deb and myself got together with skeptical rapper Greydon Square.  As someone who has an undying antipathy for rap, I gotta tell you, this guy is GOOD.  He’s also articulate and clever and has a fabulous sense of humor.  This is one you won’t want to miss.  Check out his website linked to his name, and watch this space in mid to late august for his episode.

Last week, we had the rising dauphin of the macabre, the god of the godless universe of the Amazon Bestseller Ancestor (podiobook link), the author of technothriller science fiction horror/thriller Earthcore (podiobook link), the pioneer of the podcast novel, the sick mind behind the high-adrenaline disease thriller Infection (a.k.a. Infested), the fanatic behind The Rookie, and the man who bares all about his new hometown in his upcoming cannibalistic science fiction thriller Nocturnal, Scott Sigler.

We had Scott into the studio and plied him with scotch until he gave up his secrets for guerilla marketing, bootstrapping a writing career in a time of failing business models, his own tussles with Amazon.com, how skepticism influences his artistic ethics and writing style, and the latest information on the Infection/Infested movie and the continued campaign to Save Perry’s Balls!

Scott will kick off our new season in August - watch this space for more!
