Four Segundo interviews are in the can. And I’m now coordinating with LBC authors for the next round. I’m going to start work on finalizing the first of these and get the Kirstin Allio (LBC winner for Garner) podcast remixed into Segundo format tonight. If you can’t wait, however, and you missed out on the interview at the LBC site, you can download the LBC-themed podcast here.

Cool as Hell Theatre returns after a lengthy absence. If it takes David Perry to resuscitate Michael Rice from the grave, then I urge Mr. Perry to continue his recruitment efforts. Failing that, perhaps Mr. Rice might be interested in delving into more charlatans, freaks and dilletantes, as these seem to be his most entertaining podcasts.
