VFTQ 114 - VFTQ Classic Interview
Hey there! Due to a huge workload this week, I am replaying part of an old interview I did a while back with JC Hutchins. Listen to my horribly squeaky voice.
Cian.

In this episode of the View from the Quad, I interview the genius behind 7th Son, J.C Hutchins. We talk about where the idea for his book came from, his rig (what he uses to record and edit) and J.C wanting to be put in old man makeup, and acting as an old man. Also on the cards is the First movie which he saw which made him want to write this sort of stuff, (original Star Wars, not the new one *shiver*) exploding listnership and exploding lorries. But that is not all! (In fact, that is just the first 20 min or so!) Listen to find out exactly how our (mindbending for me) conversation went! My fave qoute which makes me look like an idiot: “When I was trying to contact you cause things went a bit south, I managed to find your address and phone number. Has anybody ever contacted you about that?” “No.” “Ah… Ehmm…”
