Along with this new website comes the first two chapters of Terra Insegura, which I’ve not only posted as text, but also as audio!

You can read the chapters and download MP3 files here, or just click the players below to listen now.

Chapter 1:

Chapter 2:

Once I have my own copies of the book, I’ll be launching a giveaway similiar to the one I ran when Marseguro launched. So keep checking back–you’ll be able to enter a weekly draw for a free copy sometime soon!

I’m officially podcasting!

I’ve decided to try turning my weekly science columns into a weekly podcast, and the first episode (“Prosthetics”) is now at its permanent home (I know, I posted it earlier in the week using Box, but now it’s at avMYpodCast.com, which also automatically indexes it with iTunes). Everything is very bare-bones right now and I need better recording equipment, but it’s OK for the first instalment. (I obviously need to use a different image, though, since the current one is distorted.)

You can find it here: http://www.avmypodcast.com/viewmypodcast.asp?pid=140

The iTunes link is: itpc://www.avmypodcast.com/file/ewillett/140.xml

You can now subscribe to the audio version through iTunes. Cool, huh?

Audio version of my science column

I’m hoping to start podcasting my science columns weekly, though it may take me a while to get myself organized enough to do it that regularly. Still, here’s my first attempt. Audio quality isn’t outstanding, but it’s probably OK for now.

Enjoy!

An Orson Scott Card interview

The Glenn and Helen Show podcasts a long interview with Orson Scott Card, which naturally caught my eye…er, ear…since I recently wrote a biography of him.

Card talks about his new book, Empire, which is about a new U.S. civil war, and about division in American politics.

Warning: May raise your blood pressure if you are ideologically pure, either left (okay, probably especially left) or right. Me, I’m anything but pure (um, ideologically), so I enjoyed it, even the parts I disagreed with.
