  • 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

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
SLICES: An interview with scifi author Chris Grall
Q: Describe the concept of Schrödinger's Glass and what the book is about.
A quantum experiment outside Chicago creates artifacts that grant impossible properties to ordinary objects, with a rare wine glass that can produce any liquid, driving a thriller about how corporations, criminals, and governments pursue control of the artifact.
SLICES: Cheboygan High School Cancels Football
Q: What lessons from Cheboygan's situation can help other small-town programs keep sports alive?
Key lessons include the importance of community support (Dad's Club), flexible program planning (8-man football and multi-sport participation), and coaches who actively build relationships with students to sustain participation and values like discipline and teamwork.
SLICES: Cheboygan High School Cancels Football
Q: How does the cancellation of varsity football affect the town and the students who might have played this season?
The guests describe it as a crushing blow to community identity and to individual athletes who lose a planned pathway to growth, recognition, and the reward of dedication; they also discuss concerns about what alternatives will provide similar structure and support for kids.
SLICES: Siglerverse Q & A!
Q: What inspired the shift to a sports‑focused format and the idea of call‑in guests?
The hosts describe audience feedback, feasibility with writing deadlines, and a desire to keep interaction while maintaining production practicality, leading to a pivot toward a hybrid live Q&A sports talk format with Siglerverse themes.
