Great interview, Shaun! I’m sure that interviewing a living legend in front of a live audience must have been nerve-wracking. But it didn’t show in your performance.
Thanks Pamela. That’s good to hear, because I was pretty nervous! I left a lot of questions on the table because I just wasn’t thinking straight. But, given that it’s the first time I’ve conducted a live interview and it was with a living legend, I gave myself some slack. Next time I’ll be more calm.
Dear Shaun and Sam. You’re killin’ me here! iPod is still down for the count, but I had to hear the Moorcock interview (fantastic, BTW). So I had to go OLD SCHOOL and burn that one and the previous podcast onto two CD’s for my drive to Austin and back. CD’s? How old fashion!
Now you go and post the Larry Niven interview before I’ve had the chance to perform major surgery (can’t go buy a new one, this is my U2 edition iPod! must resurrect) so yet again you are forcing me to burn a CD. Yee gads.
Interview someone I don’t care about next so I don’t have to go low tech-in’.
Your fanboy and part-time author,
Larry
These are problems I like to cause, Larry!
