This Weekend - Alabama Phoenix Festival


I'll be spending Memorial Day weekend in Birmingham, AL as a guest at the Alabama Phoenix Festival! This will be my first time at this convention and I've heard nothing but good things about the show. I'll be traveling with my Earth Station One co-host, the award-winning author Bobby Nash and we'll have plenty of Strong Will preview books on hand. There are many other ESO-related guests in attendance as well. So, if you're interested in talking about podcasting or anything geek-related this weekend, stop by my table. If you happen to buy a book or two, so much the better!

If for some reason, you're unable to get to Birmingham, but are looking to hang out with some geeky folks in
the Atlanta area, be sure to check out TimeGate! ESO director, Mike Faber will be there, along with many other ESO Network personalities. And there will be a Doctor in the house! Colin Baker makes a rare US appearance at the convention. If only I could be in two places at the same time this weekend! Perhaps I can locate a working TARDIS...

ESW Podcast - Episode 39


The final episode of series seven is also the first part of the Doctor’s 50th anniversary special! Mike, Mike, Phantom Troublemaker, the award winning author Bobby Nash, and Jonathan Thomas (Tardisopia.net) find themselves on Trenzalore facing the Great Intelligence that is Steven Moffat. Though some questions were answered, the ending was a game-changer and only one thing is for certain – it’s going to be a long wait until November 23rd!

ESO Podcast - Episode 164


This week, the ESO crew boldly explores the newest chapter of the Star Trek franchise. Mike, Mike, Jennifer, and the award-winning author Bobby Nash are joined by Rebecca Perry (TheOneRing.net) and Alex Autrey (7th Row Center podcast) as they choose between embracing fandom or just having fun. One thing they all agree on is that everyone loves tribbles! We chat with the creator of the little furballs, David Gerrold, about his latest project, The Star Wolf! Plus, the usual Rants, Raves, Khan Report, and Shout Outs!

This week's Shout Out goes to two worthwhile Kickstarter campaigns. The first is for creating a series pilot for The Star Wolf, based on David Gerrold's novel series. I've read the books and I really want to see this show on tv, so please help make it so!


The second is for Star Mage, a new independent comic series by writer JC De La Torre and artist Ray Dillon. This series looks like something special, and I'd say that even if JC wasn't a fellow podcaster on The ESO Network!

ESW Podcast - Episode 38


Resistance may be futile, but this episode has been met with more than its share of it. Mike, Mike, Phantom Troublemaker, the award-winning author Bobby Nash, and Beth Vandusen match wits with Neil Gaiman, Steven Moffat, and Mr. Clever and try to make sense of the penultimate episode of series seven. Perhaps the ESW crew just needs to be upgraded.

Mike, Mike, Phantom Troublemaker, the award winning author Bobby Nash, and Jennifer Hartshorn enter the room from which no one returns to review the 100th episode of Doctor Who since its revival. In addition to taking a tour of Sweetville, the ESW crew also discuss some of the recent negative comments regarding the series as it seems they are building up along with all other excitement regarding the 50th anniversary.
