Our podcast discussion thread vanished, so I am creating a new one which will be housed here in our pretty podcast forum room.

This thread is for discussing the published podcasts.

I just downloaded the newest episode.

I hope you enjoy.

I'm sure I will.

Oh dear, now I have to go listen and find out how I did as a cohost...

That will be fun to hear.

And as I predicted, it was.

While I was listening, I had an inkling my name would come up. When it did I was like this:

Haha!

T'was great fun to listen to If I even get around to finishing my book, I'd love to join in on that fun. *nodsnods*

I downloaded the podcast a couple days ago and finished it yesterday, it was good! Now I'm left wanting to read Bethany's books along with the other 1,0874 on my list...



You did good!

*laughs * Ya'll are fun.

The new episode is up! Don't miss Keith's interview! You will be sorry if you do, and that's not a threat.

Yes!!!...I shall try and listen to it today!

You must let me know what you think.

Okay!

I've heard hints about this one.

*downloads*

It was very good.

I see that it's nice and long.

Oh, yes. Keith and I had lots to talk about....

I must listen when I can!

Just finished it! I really liked it, I have attempted something like that sort of fiction (my efforts were pathetic, but anyway), and am really glad to see someone like Keith doing such a good job of it.
I don't think I agree with everything he said, but I liked how he treated some things sensitive to the fact that there are many opinions, etc...that is to say, he struck me as a humble, intelligent man.
I'm actually in his group on Creation Conversations, and didn't realize it was him until I saw the titles of his books.
So...he's on HW?

I just finished listening to it, and it was one of my favorite episodes so far.

Mine too, Jonathan.

@Wolf: Yes, I liked how Keith made sure the audience knew what things were his opinions, and what things he believed to be facts (age of the earth and so forth), and that he encouraged you guys to go do the research yourself.

No, Keith is not on the forum. He and I have been corresponding for a number of months, per Jay's request. I'm actually planning on having Keith join me for another podcast episode, too. Keith is watching the efforts and strides of HW with interest, though.

Yes, exactly! Yeah, I'm looking forward to doing some research on that stuff...provided I don't forget to before I get to it.

I downloaded the new episode.

Awesome.

I downloaded it on iTunes. Can't wait to listen to it.

Yay! I was really excited to see how this turned out. *is listening immediately so she doesn't have excuses to put it off*

New episode?? *commences downloading*

*grins * You all will have to let us know what you think!

I did way too much talking. I hate doing that on the Podcasts.

*listened to it last night* I think that turned out really well! Gracie did a great job repairing our bumbles. We should definitely do more round-table discussions!

You did, Kaitlyn? I didn't notice. I was just glad it didn't come out sounding like I took the lead on every question. *coughs and fondly remembers some of the, ah, behind the scenes chatter that Gracie cut out*

Oh good! I'm glad it didn't seem like it, then. I listened and thought "You hear my voice way too often".

We should, yes.

I will.


I doubt it.

Yes yes, all the nice wonderful people who will make me feel better.

Thanks, guys.

Great episode! My only problem was I didn't know who any of the voices belonged to until about halfway through the episode.
Well done and great thoughts!
I wanted to say one thing, though: H.G. Wells (a classic Sci-Fi writer) said most of his techie stuff he didn't explain at all or even think was remotely possible to be true. He just gave enough information that the reader would think it was plausible, then hoped the actual story kept the reader interested. That's kind of like what Aubrey said.

Yes, I totally agree. Good thoughts, Astro.

Just finished it and...I loved it.

I liked the discussion of the difference between fantasy and sci-fi, though I had some very abstract thoughts that I felt were not quite mentioned...but they are so abstract that maybe they were and I didn't notice because I haven't formulated them well enough. (Yeah I'm pathetic like that)

Anyway I really liked it, it helped me think about sci-fi and made me glad that I'm attempting to write it.

Thanks everyone that was on it and thanks Airi for hosting it.

Oh I am so glad it was a blessing and got you thinking! That thrills me, truely!

I listened to the new episode, and it was fun hearing many of the "big names" from HWSF discussing Christian science fiction.

*laughs * I love it. The "Big Names". If only we had had Varon and Jonathan, then our Podcast would have been even more epic.

And Grace.

Oh that is right, Grace was going to also, but couldn't.

*can't wait to see what everyone thinks of the New Topic Snippets *

*is downloading and cannot wait to listen to snippet*

*also downloads the new topic snippet*

I listened to it. I liked it! I thought it was perfect for getting me to think on the topic. Also giving a few bits of advice and a peek at Raven's own experience balanced it out really well in my opinion.

Why thank you, Wolf! I'm so glad.

I liked the new topic snippet. It was very similar to the regular podcast, just shorter and focusing on a specific subject--and every bit as fun as the regular podcast.

Huzzah, it feels like a good day!!!

I just listened to the new episode. It's been nice having all these new episodes lately.

I'm glad. A lot of work goes into these. Poor Grace.
