This week, instead of our usual round table discussion, we present to you a very special episode – “Worlds Apart,” the winner of our Third Annual Writing Contest. The story was written by Michelle Ristuccia, and Terry Mixon not only produced the audio production, but also narrated the story along with the wonderful Kimi Alexandre. We hope you enjoy.

Everyone, or at least those who are interested, here is our auction for The Boom Effect. Tee Morris has been an amazing friend to this show and to podcasting in general, and we should all do our part to help him and his daughter in their time of need. Please visit the auction and make a bid. We won’t bite when you come on the show, I promise.

This week the guys sit down with listener and special guest host Wesley Swingley to talk about the topic of research. How much is enough, how easy is it to let it become too much, and where should you go to do it? We hope you enjoy!

Hey all, Terry here. I mentioned in the show that I’ve been working on an audio production of a short story and here it is. War Fish is a science fiction story that was inspired by the submarine service in WWII. I hope you enjoy the story.

Please send me feedback letting me know what you think. My email address is terry@eknifeshop.com

This week the Dead Robots sit down together to discuss plots – how do we develop them, what sorts do we enjoy, and how can we improve? We hope you enjoy.

For those who do not know, yesterday (01/06/10), the wife of Podiobooks founder and all around great guy Tee Morris passed away due to illness. It was sudden and unexpected, and sadly she leaves behind not only a wonderful husband, but also a young daughter, neither of whom deserve this tragedy. To make things worse, they also have a mountain of debt to go along with their mourning. We can’t make their emotional mountain any easier to climb, but we can show our love and support by helping chip away at their monetary concerns. Philippa Ballantine has setup a ChipIn account, all without Tee knowing about it, to help do just that. Please take a moment and go by. Tee has been a wonderful friend to this show, and I think we can all afford to help him in his time of need.

Thank you.

It’s a new year, the Dead Robots are back, and this week we discuss the topic of homage, imitation, and out-right theft. When can you, and should you, hew too close to the bone? Join us and find out. Enjoy!

Hello, everyone, and welcome to 2010. I know for a lot of people, myself included, this was not a great year. But, the past is the past. There’s nothing we can about it but put it behind us and strive to make the year to come all that much better. So, to help do that I’m happy to send all of you the latest issue of Ray Gun Revival. In it is the fourth and final chapter in my short story series, “The Ties That Bind.” For those of you who haven’t read it from my website, or purchased it, or listened to the audio episodes, here’s your chance to read it from a fine publication. I hope you enjoy it, along with all the other great stories this issue contains. Take care!
