I need a male with decent recording equipment willing to record about 2 minutes worth of lines in a German accent for the next Field Sounds. I need it by Saturday. Can anyone help me out? I can pay $20.
Podcaster people??

Because I’m going to be in an airplane when I would normally post the new Roundbottom, I’ve decided to post it this morning so I can make sure that nothing buggy happens. This post kicks off a new multi-part storyline involving the supernatural that I think you will enjoy. Right now, memberships remain closed and the only prints you can buy are the first series images. The new series of photos will be available as limited edition, signed prints, but I haven’t quite worked out all the kinks there so it’s not open. I hope to have it open soon. I’ll have the membership option open after I get back from Connecticut. I just didn’t want anybody to have to wait too long for their goodies.
If you know of a zine or news site that might be interested in the new Roundbottom, please feel free to
forward the link on at this point. I haven’t found any major bugs that weren’t expected at this point. By the way, if you use gravatars, they will show up in the comments there. I highly encourage you to make a steampunky icon for yourself when commenting there. Feel free to comment in character. Create your own persona, as many have done in the past. It’ll be fun! The Dr. will respond to you in character as well.
We’ve got some fantastic audio engineering going into the first podcast as well. I hope to put those out, after an inital roll-up, about once every two weeks. They’re primarily going to be Miss Watkins narrating, with the ocassional grumble from Roundbottom himself. Remember that Mutual of Omaha show? Same dynamic in the podcast. It’s going to be a blast.
So to recap, the new Roundbottom story is live. Tell you friends.

Based on comparing listeners and subscriber numbers, Escape Pod is the second largest market for short science fiction, with 20,000 downloads after a month for each episode. I don’t have anything to say about that. I just want to mention it, and see what you all think of that. I’ve talked about this before, but I think their listener count has grown since then.
(And yes, the prospect of my latest sale to them being heard by 20,000 people is somewhat terrifying.)
Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but you can call me Jeremy. I am a fantasy and science fiction writer, photographer, and web designer living in Northern Colorado. I am currently starting a new job and cannot take freelance work at this time. Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments. I love hearing from new people and I now have a lot more time to chat.
My story from the excellent anthology Seeds of Change (edited by the Anthology God, formerly known here as the Slush God, John Joseph Adams) has gone live over at Escape Pod. This is a story that was published to mixed reviews. But I am astounded by the job that Philippa Ballantine did here. Her reading [...]
Hi Folks. After a ton of work on the part of myself, Sarah, and my sound engineer and good friend Nate Periat, we’ve finished and posted our first Dr. Roundbottom Field Sounds podcast. It’s only 5 minutes long, so don’t hesitate to just go to the site and hit play. Please let me know what [...]
Do you remember that Disney CG film Dinosaurs? It’s original concept involved a feature length movie with animals that only emoted, and never spoke. Having always been a big fan of computer animation, I was excited at the early rumors of the film. Unfortunately, Disney execs got involved and the result was the talky-travesty that [...]
I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:
Having Tim Curry as a narrator is probably outside of the range of what we can afford as SF/F writers, but still. Let’s go over what makes this awesome:
Tight pacing. 2 minutes [...]
Located 15 minutes south of Fort Collins, Coyote Ridge is a natural area consisting if a couple hundred acres of prairie. A trail runs from the road up across several ridges. Today, I walked to the base of the second ridge before coming back. I’ll make the full hike to the end [...]
