Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EWB 450 ALLISON GUNN
Q: What was your drafting process like for Nowhere vs Hive Mind?
She describes experimenting with planners and pantsers, often letting characters drive the story, and in Hive Mind she embraced a more rage-fueled, character-led approach after multiple rewrites.
EWB 450 ALLISON GUNN
Q: Prior to publication of Nowhere, did you have any short stories published, or did it all come from Nowhere?
Gunn explains she started with non-fiction and government work, then shifted into fiction later, with Nowhere marking her active entry into publishing; she had some short stories but Nowhere was the pivotal work.
EWB 446 DON OF THE DEAD
Q: How did the Milwaukee Metal Fest time slot affect your performance and planning for Europe?
A better time slot allowed us to deliver an energetic set and keep the momentum for the European leg, where promoters are often stricter about stage presence and pacing.
EWB 446 DON OF THE DEAD
Q: What led you to sign with Frontiers Black to Black, and how does that shape your European distribution?
The label's pedigree and the roster, including Megadeth and Biohazard, gave us confidence in strong distribution and credibility, which should help us reach audiences beyond the festival circuit.
EWB 442 DANIEL HOUSE
Q: Did you have any experience with video editing or doing video as the final product?
The guest and host discuss that the show is video-first with editing handled by an editor; there is still a hands-on process but much is delegated to post-production.
