Magic of Eyri 012-Double Trouble

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Today’s episode: The Hawk King sends his spies, a pair of raven twins named Delu and Uled, after Steve and his companions–but, they are not alone.  The twins have hired a team of bounty hunters to aid in their search.

In our last episode: The Hawk King demands to know who let Steve into his city.  Remmit, Kaz and Lexa are rounded up and put on trial for allowing The Boy to enter Da’Rahga.  However, things go a bit better for Remmit and Kaz than they do for Lexa.

Ramblings: I had a lot of fun creating the vocal effects for Delu and Uled for this episode. I added a PayPal donate button, so if you would like to support the podcast, feel free to donate whatever amount you wish.  A bit of trivia, the name of the Hunter band, The Five, is a reference to Ben Folds Five (which also only had three members).  I only realized later that it was also a reference to Arthur’s poor counting in Monty Python in the Holy Grail, as Cam (who named The Five) has a similar condition.

Fantasy Writing Panel Podcast

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

NOTE: Not our regularly scheduled episode!

This is a live recording of Jim C. Hines (Goblin Quest, Stepsister Scheme, The Mermaid’s Madness) Phil Kline (Curse of the Kitsune) and myself talking about Fantasy Writing at the Delta Township District Library on September 1st, 2009.  The sound quality will not be the same as the other episodes, as I just set my recorder on the table and let it go. I did what I could to tweak things (but you can only do so much with an .MP3 recorded at 64 kbps).

The three of us chatted about writing fantasy, our writing process and answered questions from the audience.  The highpoint, for me anyway, is listening to Jim explain his upcoming muppet-werewolf short story.

Run time: 49 minutes.

The next episode of The Magic of Eyri will run Sunday, September 27th.
