OK kids, I decided that I will push episode 024 back until 05.19 and for this Weds. and next, I will run audio from a couple of panels I was on at Penguicon over the weekend.

Here’s what the schedule will be for the next three weeks (starting this Weds.)

• 05.05.10 – “Adapting Your Novel to a Podcast” with Mary Robinette Kowal. Run time: around 55 minutes
• 05.12.10 – “Humor in Science Fiction and Fantasy” with Jim C. Hines and Brian Briggs. Run time: around 50 minutes.
• 05.19.10 – Magic of Eyri episode 024 “Flight of the Griffin”

I’ll record short intros for the panels and make them sound nice in GarageBand before putting them online. We’ll be back to our regular schedule on 06.02.10 with Episode 025. I decided I wanted to get the audio from these panels online ASAP while they are still fresh, and each of them are a fun listen.

I decided to shake up a few things in the Twitter realm. Not with my personal account, but with the one I had been using for the Magic of Eyri Podcast.

Originally, many months ago, I had created the account to be a ‘character’ Twitter page for the main character Steve. But, while it was fun at first to tweet “in character,” I quickly lost track of it because I had to remember too much (I was trying to stay in tune with where the podcast was).

After I began sharing Twitter/Facebook duties for LansingNext, I saw I could use my Magic of Eyri account in many more useful ways. I change the name to @MoEpodcast (short for “Magic of Eyri Podcast”), so it would be easier to remember.

My goal is to kind of keep that account and my personal account somewhat separate, although I’ll tweet about MoE stuff on my personal one. It shall be a fun experiment.

I also inspired by what some of my friends have said on Twitter about not following people who don’t follow others, and not liking “one-sided” accounts, which my character account certainly was. One friend put it brilliantly as “I’m here for conversations, not broadcasts.”

And since I don’t have to worry about continuity and plot, I can have more fun with the @MoEpodcast account.

I’m changing the badge in the sidebar to the new account as well and I won’t really be picky about who I follow, like I am with my main account.

Come back Wednesday for a brand new episode!

Today’s episode: Uncle Shameless wants to return to the fray to help Zeroth and Cam, but Steve wants to keep running away.  Zeroth tangles with Arbal and both the raven twins.  Cam gives Zeroth a new assignment: protect Steve.

In our last episode: Zeroth and Uncle Shameless’ fight continued. Steve learns that not everything in Eyri obeys the laws of science. A member of The Five betrays the band and the raven twins show up to make matters worse.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (01.06.10): Packing It In Note the date! There will not be any episodes released in December.  I’m taking the month “off” to build up a stockpile of episodes.  Even though I won’t be releasing episodes, I will still be working on them. Make sure to come back in January.

Ramblings: Yes, it is true: I’m not releasing any episodes in December.  This is to give myself a bit of a break and to help create some breathing room between working on episodes.  Plus, I know I’ll be busy because of the holidays and not having to worry about releasing episodes on top of everything will be nice. This was a bittersweet episode to make, as it means the last time a couple of characters will appear.
