I2 a.m., Brooklyn, the Hollow Nickel Bar. Sam, Brad, and I met up with Jim Freund, host of the Hour of the Wolf and New York Review of Science Fiction. For those who don't know, Jim is also a font of knowledge and secret stories from the recent history of modern speculative fiction. It was well worth the cost of the beer and french fries just to sit and chill with the guy. Then we settled up and walked to the WBAI radio headquarters in Brooklyn and got ready for the interview.
We were on for 2 hours and it felt like 15 minutes. But we packed in a plug for episode 4, and a shout-out to every author and actor of the Kaleidocast's first season, layered in between tangents on Spec-fic luminaries (listen to the Firesign Theater), George Carlin, and Shakespeare. Technical difficulties at the beginning of the show turned into a climatic finale when we successfully played the first episode of the season (I never get tired of hearing that theme music). My only regret is that I didn't give props to our outstanding and hardworking sound engineers. None of this would have worked without Adicus Garton, Alicia Barret, Matt Mazzerlla, and Terence Taylor. Then there were Kris Dikeman who designed the banner and website map, and Tanya Ireland McLean, the 4th producer on our team.
So take a listen, our part of the show starts around the 20 minute mark. Weirdly, we all turn into chipmunks for a couple minutes after that. But what do you expect? This is speculative fiction.
