Jack McDevitt on The World Fantasy Convention 2008 Podcast
I’ve been listening to the World Fantasy Convention 2008 Podcast for a while now (in reverse order), and I’ve just come across the special episode for Christmas – which features a special Jack McDevitt panel from a convention held in Calgary, Alberta. WOW! McDevitt reads from two stories, outlines the premises behind others and answers a few questions from the audience. One of the coolest panels I’ve ever heard! Check it out via the |MP3| or by subscribing to the podcast feed:

Across America a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families. Working under the government’s shroud of secrecy, CIA operative Dew Phillips crisscrosses the country trying in vain to capture a live victim. With only decomposing corpses for clues, CDC epidemiologist Margaret Montoya races to analyze the science behind this deadly contagion. She discovers that these killers all have one thing in common – they’ve been contaminated by a bioengineered parasite, shaped by a complexity far beyond the limits of known science. Meanwhile Perry Dawsey – a hulking former football star now resigned to life as a cubicle-bound desk jockey – awakens one morning to find several mysterious welts growing on his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices . . . he is infected.
Also from Random House (and coming later this month)…

This just in from the future… Dick Dynamo self destructs ?!?!
Holy wazzengas! The latest Dick Dynamo: The 5th Dimensional Man show (show #5) starts off normal, then turns into an absolute train-wreck!! It appears the show is ending. The DD team has broken up (?). Jon Baker tells why the show is ending (?) in this, the last (?) podcast.
I am saddened.
On the other hand, this is probably one of the more original endings (?) for a show you’ll ever hear. I loved the poem. Have a listen to the final (?) show |MP3|. And normally I’d suggest you subscribe to the podcast, but what’d be the point? Anyway I guess that’s still here:

P.S. This new “tech man” show – it sounds kind of kewl.
P.P.S. J.C. is so totally a Yoko Ono.
P.P.P.S. Is it just me or does Deck Rhynamo sound exactly like Decoder Ring Theatre’s Deck Gibson?
