  • 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

  • Dive into the Universe

    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SLICES: Ask Your Friendly Neighborhood Writer
Q: What's a real workday look like for somebody who writes for a living, but also has ADHD? How do you know when you're procrastinating versus actually thinking?
Sigler says it can be difficult to tell in the moment, so he uses processes to stay on task. Body doubling, timers, a shared calendar and protecting writing time help him manage distraction.
SLICES: Ask Your Friendly Neighborhood Writer
Q: What is your writing routine? Roughly how many hours do you write in a day? And what is some of the business that interrupts your writing on a general basis for your job?
Sigler aims to write without distractions from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. after his morning routine. Proofing audiobooks, marketing and other business work can disrupt that schedule.
SLICES: Potentially Leathal Bloodclot be Damned, Play Ball!
Q: Was it medically appropriate for Hurts to play after doctors identified a superficial blood clot?
The hosts say the Eagles reported that doctors believed movement and physical activity were appropriate for a superficial clot, while emphasizing that football involves forceful contact and the later, more serious diagnosis was not yet known.
SLICES: Potentially Leathal Bloodclot be Damned, Play Ball!
Q: Could the same blood clot cause a stroke?
Kovacs says the question is outside her area of expertise and is unsure whether a clot could reach the brain without first traveling to the lungs.
SLICES: An interview with scifi author Chris Grall
Q: What was the publishing journey like and how long did it take to bring the book to market?
It started in 2019, with multiple drafts and a hybrid publishing path after an initial round of interest, followed by a push to self‑promote and navigate editors, layout, and marketing before publication.
