The two interviews I listened to (checked my files) were the linux reality interview… which was amazing. And the podiomedia chat… which wasn’t. The questions on the mechanics of producing were well informed, but it seemed to me that each answer was followed by the interviewer having to say how HE would do it. Which was rather amaterish. The questions on the books were just sad. The interviewer obviously wasn’t a fan… I am not sure he even has listened to more than a episode or two. Names wrong, names forgotten, questions asked that were obviously answered if you listened to the books! And then the production problems. Constant heavy traffic sounds were very distracting. *HEAVY SIGH* And I so wanted to enjoy this look into Nate’s writing process. Perhaps the heavy disappointment is why I am so critical.

It astonishes me the number of people who finish South Coast and then immediately write to me to tell me how much they liked South Shore. I don’t know why that is, but it’s been an interesting phenomenon.

I loved the first interview. And I loved your part, Nate… but the guy interviewing you… my goodness… he didn’t even know who Pip was!!! Obviously he had only a passing acquaintance with the books. I thought he was more interested in applying your popularity to his own writing, than in sharing your writing process with us!

Number one rule in journalism… Always be prepared. Know who you are interviewing. Know what you are interviewing about! And don’t get the names wrong! (South Shore? Sheesh)

He *found* him — I didn’t say he *met* him.

Yes. I suspect we’ll get to meet him eventually.

Nate,

Listened to the interview and loved it. It is great hearing how you put to gether a book. I had listened to Double Share before the interview and a comment in the interview just got me to listen to the book again.

In the inter view you said “Oh and Ismal found his farther”, I thought I might have missed something the first time I listened to the book so off I go again (Really just and excuss to listen again). But he didn’t find his farther. I take it you made a small change in production.

Do we get to meet his father in the next book?

I just listened. Thanks to Chris Moody for making me sound smarter than I am.
