We did it before and we are doing it again.

Scott Sigler’s new print version of Infected gets released on April 1st, 2008. Over the next few days, his publisher has allowed him to give away copies of the PDF version of the book for free.

We are helping him do just that.

If you want share the file with friends, get them to download it from this page or from:

By getting the file from that link, it’s proving to the big publishers that we podcasters have a clue about what we are doing.

This file will only be active for a few days, at which time the link will become inactive and you’ll have to go to the bookstore to read the story. Which you should do anyway.

We needed the sounds of 4 dogs running and barking for Episode 18 of Serve It Cold. But couldn’t find anything like it in our sound effects libraries.

So we setup our recording gear at Cmdln’s house and did our own Foley recording session.

It’s very silly and we hope you enjoy it.

Talking about our trip to Japan

Please let me know if you get Ep 46 in the feed. Somehow I managed to hose the feed for the last month or so.

If you’re going to D*C, please give blood. It’s always in short supply, and you’ll save money. With less blood in you, you’ll get drunk quicker, and therefore need to buy less booze. Hence, you save money!

Seriously, it only comes from one place. Give it up.
