Hello everybody; welcome back to the blog. You’re just in
time for me to reveal a brand-new feature, something that (I hope) will begin
to make a regular appearance on this blog: a brand-new podcast entitled Fair and Foul Play.
What is Fair and Foul
Play? The way I envision it, it’ll be a series of one-on-one conversations
with other bloggers, mystery fans, and anyone else I can lure to the programme.
These conversations will revolve around a specific topic within the mystery genre.
For example, today I’m joined by Sergio, the blogger at the excellent site Tipping
My Fedora. As it happens, both Sergio and I are big fans of audio
productions, although we tend to specialize in different types of productions.
The idea suddenly came: why not get together and talk about mysteries in audio?
Audiobooks, radio plays, adaptations, dramatizations, original stuff: the complete
package.
And so you’re looking at the result below, with Part 1 of
our conversation forming episode 1a of Fair
and Foul Play. Part 2 won’t be uploaded for a while, for the excellent
reason that (a) I haven’t edited it yet and (b) the result would be over an
hour long and that would be overwhelming all at once.
Please let us know what you think of the podcast, and if you’ve
any interest in appearing in the future, feel free to let me know!
Patrick - What a great idea!! And a terrific introductory podcast too - Thanks for the effort, both of you. Fascinating and so very informative. I've been taking notes the whole time...
ReplyDeleteMargot, I'm glad you like the podcast! It was plenty of fun to get together with Sergio and talk about a subject which we both find fascinating. And oh, the places we went with our digressions! It just shows you how interconnected the genre is. :)

ReplyDeleteSergio, once again, it was entirely my pleasure. I'm glad you were able to join in the fun -- we'll definitely have to do this again some time!
DeleteLooks like fun. As soon as I can coax it into a commute-friendly version I'll be sure to give it a listen.
