VFTQ 51 - Mur Lafferty

In this episode of the View from the Quad, I talk to Author Mur Lafferty of the great podcasts Geek Fu Action Grip, Pseudopod and I Should Be Writing, and the great podcasting book, Tricks of the Podcasting Masters all available at www.murlafferty.com. Thanks to Mur for making a hub like site so that I don’t have to rush all over the interwebs looking for her stuff. *Glares at Tee Morris*
We talk (and giggle) about many things, including Worker monkeys which eat useless materials, a possible Guinness World Records Attempt and Advertising in Podcasting.
Continuing on the fun, I play the song Who Dogs the Outlet by George Hrab, (great song) and then a promo for Geek Fu Action Grip.

On the VFTQ website, you are spoiled for choice. You can leave comments, join the forums, buy t-shirts, (the shirts rock. I am wearing one as i type) enter the Scott Sigler competition and cause general roudyness. I hope to see you there soon.

Not the big 50, but pretty darn close!
In this very short episode I talk about why you should subscribe to the Mailing list, as well as ask for comments for the big five zero coming around about saturday.
Here is the link you need to click or copy-paste (into your browser, of course) in order to make a voice message. You can record straight from your computer, and It will upload directly to my site.

You can also email me your mp3s of text comments to talktome@stuffslashersaw.com Chances are that you will get mentioned. How cool is that? Mentioned on a show which has hundreds of fans. I hope you take me up on my offer…

Now, stay right where you are. 50 is coming very soon…
