Sigler / Hutchins Plan The First Podcast Fiction Crossover In History

News

Podcast Novel / PODIOBOOK / 7th SonInfection by Scott SiglerJ.C. Hutchins‘ podiobook 7th Son, Book One: Descent is doing a clever crossover with Scott Sigler‘s lastest podcast novel Infection. This is the first time in the podcast history where two fiction podcasts have shared scenes! I’d guess that a mutual cross-pollination of listeners is the general idea but J.C. informs me there’ll be some rewards for some careful listeners of both shows…

To participate, you must listen to both novels and deduce the six “cross-over scenes” – there are three in Sigler’s, and three in Hutchins’. Prizes include…

-A voice part in Scott Sigler’s next podcast novel and a character name in his upcoming novel Nocturnal
-A guest voicing of a “The Story So Far…” chapter recap in Book Two of the 7th Son trilogy and an exclusive print version of 7th Son, Book One. This will be a particular treat because 7th Son is not available anywhere in print making this a truly one-of-a-kind edition!

To play, subscribe to both podcasts, read the rules for the contest, listen, deduce and win!

ADPoV: A Different Point of View On The Star Wars Saga

Online Audio

A Different Point Of ViewLest we incur the wrath of a hardened Imperial Storm Trooper battalion we thought it best to pimp… err… I mean bestow, ya that’s the ticket, bestow the good news about the existence of the Empire’s most loyal website www.ADPoV.net. The site contains all the reasoned documentation and MP3 audio reports of Sand Trooper TD-0013. Tee Dee Oh Oh One Three may be already be familiar to you from his long running A Different Point of View segments on the Michael And Evo’s Wingin’ It podcast. Tee Dee writes, “The site is pretty much my new base ops and houses the complete, and growing, collection of all of the “A Different Point of View” MP3 segments, as well as a weekly cartoon strip by Starlog magazine’s bortQ, Wallpapers, an answering machine recording, and other nonsense.” And by nonsense Tee Dee means “mandatory viewing materials.” Not to put any pressure on you, our dear readers, but I got the impression that SFFaudio’s been assigned a weekly quota and that if we don’t deliver some serious numbers to ADPoV.net and soon we might be going for a one-way forced march to the Pit of Carkoon! Please visit Tee Dee’s site, and in the Emperor’s name we beg that tell them that SFFaudio sent you!
