Nerdy Show Book Club :: Episode 2 :: The Dark One’s Taint
A couple months back we did a fan-requested microsode on the topic “Nerdy Show Book Club” where we discussed what books we were currently reading. That episode was pretty popular, and we liked doing it, so now the Book Club is back! This is going to be a regular segment on Nerdy Show. In each episode we’ll share what books we’re currently reading, and even have a monthly read-along with listeners (see below).
This first episode is double-length ’cause there’s a literary project very relevant to your nerdy interests that needs discussing. Singularity & Co. is a new company dedicated to digitally publishing obscure science fiction novels that would never otherwise see publication in any form. Their Kickstarter has been endorsed by i09 and Neil Gaiman, to name a few and it’s in its last days – so get on that! In this episode we interview Singularity co-founder Ash Kalb, and discuss the project’s origins, the first sci-fi he read, and more. Then, join Colin, Cap, Hex, Brandon, and Luke to hear about the books they’re reading and other galactic funk!
Next Month’s Read-Along Book: Old Man’s War by John Scalzi
