    Usually I Like Sigler’s material but…this one was wanting in many areas….it was just…laborious to listen to and soon…I wanted those hours back. Too much time at the dump, Scott. Do better.

  • I binged this until

    I binged the first 2 seasons in a matter of days. I was surprised that a single and that being the author could reign in my attention. So, although not my usual fiction podcast go-to, love it. AND. And I am writing this review because it makes ZERO SNESE HKW I.P. Could be so absurdly powerful this far into the life of this story without the Bastion or someone else stepping in when they are so clearly not on the side of good in any capacity. The recent episodes are making this hard to listen to. ... more

    He said, “Vinegar Strokes” during the most recent intro. The fact that he is a fan of the league makes me love his work that much more.

    This story is some awesome and I feel like i’m waiting on Christmas for each new episode.

  • Great stories

    I've been listening to and reading Scott's stories since Infected. Always look forward to new episodes

    His stories are great and his character voices are really well done - love his Owen Wilson impression for Cantrell in Slay

    Scott makes the science in his science fiction stories work really well also

  • Great stories

    I’ve been listening to Scott Sigler since the beginning of the podcast. His stories are always entertaining. He’s got thrilling sci-fi, finely-written action, heart-pounding horror, sly humor and totally engaging characters in every one. I’ve cheered and cried with his characters as they handle the changes of life we all go through. It’s always fun to see what Scott will give us next.

SLICES: More Siglerverse Q&A
Q: First question, are you ready? From Chip Bleyad. Hi, Scott and I. Long time junkie here. I am really enjoying the mixtape stories that have been in the podcast feed recently. For quite a while now, I've read slash listened to and have called up the songs that resonate with the plot, the characters, and the settings. How did you feel about that experiment?
Scott explains the process behind MIX TAPE, noting the stories were inspired by emotional reactions to the songs and that what started as a one-off evolved into longer, more involved writing with over 100 pages added in some cases, reshaping their original plan.
SLICES: Big News About Scott’s Books!
Q: Jim asks, are you still writing 3,000 words a day?

SLICES: An interview with author Andrew Givler
Q: Why did you choose first-person present for Ironbound, and how did that affect the storytelling?
The first-person present voice made power dynamics and action feel more immediate and active, allowing a tighter focus on the protagonist's experiences and decision-making as he grows, which suited the intensity of progression and the unique narrative angle of the series.
SLICES: An interview with author Andrew Givler
Q: How did your YouTube channel Sigils influence your writing career?
Having a large audience informed his publishing path; it helped in getting early readers for self-published work, shaped understanding of audience overlap between gamers and readers, and influenced decisions to blend high fantasy with game-like progression elements.
