this one was pretty amusing, except for the jerks who let out info on the books on there shirts, what kind of jerk goes to an authors signing and pastes his plot twists on a shirt for all those readers who may be turned on to the series just by being at the signing. sorry for the tangent, i have yet to read alcatraz 2 so i was bummed

I think a podcast on magical creatures could be great, or made-up creatures in general, across genres (or at least in fantasy/sci-fi/horror). I think it’s interesting that dragons, or dragon-like things, are often in sci-fi as well, and are good just as often as evil. And another interesting question: why do people– especially 9 year old boys– like dragons so much?

To be fair, 99% of the mockery was aimed at Paolini, not the kid in line. But yeah, I felt bad too. We should do a podcast on dragons just to make it up to him…though honestly I don’t know if we can say intelligent things about dragons for 15 straight minutes.

The spoiler for Alcatraz 2…isn’t really.

I usually enjoy these podcasts, but it made me very uncomfortable when you guys made fun of the kid who likes Paolini. I think you guys can only redeem yourselves by putting more dragon into your podcasts.

@Raethe

There are spoilers for the Mistborn books in the podcast ONLY if you haven’t read the first two. If you have read the first two, you are safe. They don’t spoil the Hero of Ages (Mistborn 3).

Speaking of that other guy, I heard he like, wrote some book or something, which maybe had something to do with this episode. Any spoilers or anything that should prevent me from listening?

This really makes me wish I didn’t have to work late so I ended up missing this event. Course I really wish I didn’t have to work late, ever.

But the soothing voices of Dan, Howard, and that other guy, made me feel like I was right there.

I went to the Sam Weller’s signing and reading Wednesday night. It was a lot of fun. Aside from telling great stories, Brandon is a first-class person.
