Here’s a rare treat for you on WhatTheCast: an interview! We talk to author Scott Sigler, whose newest horror novel Nocturnal is coming out in April. Scott, one of the pioneers of podcasting novels, has turned many of those podcast novels into traditionally-published works. He’s a clever fellow with a lot of interesting things to say about publishing, 700-year-long story arcs, why Stephen King is his idol, the pain of turning a podcast into a written novel, why he tries to get the science right in his books, and why every single one of his novels should be turned into a Clone Wars-style show.
We still manage to drag Scott along for the usual WhatTheCast ride, which this week features Brian’s new filk convention, the possibility of a version of Sherlock Holmes in which Holmes is American, the TV show Alcatraz, and what batteries last the longest.
(If you’d like to see what Scott’s works are like, try the podiobook version of Nocturnal.)
Thanks for having me on, gents! Was a fun time.
You bet! We enjoyed It immensely.
