ESO PODCAST REMEMBERS BURT REYNOLDS / SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT!

It's always a treat to visit my pals on the Earth Station One podcast. We had a nice time reminiscing about the life and career of Burt Reynolds. Then, we reviewed Burt's biggest blockbuster, Smokey and the Bandit. Listen HERE.

That laugh...

The Earth Station One Podcast Episode 439 – Remembering Burt Reynolds / Smokey and Bandit "In honor of the late great actor/director who made an impact on both the big and small screen with his laugh and his ‘stache, Mike Faber, Mike Gordon, Alex Autrey, Joe Crowe, and the award-winning author Bobby Nash go East Bound and Down to catch the Bandit in action. Plus, artist Dimitri Walker paints himself into the Geek Seat. All this, along with Rants and Raves, Angela Pritchett’s Geek Girl Take, Ashley Pauls’ Box Office Buzz, Michelle’ Borg's Iconic Rock Moment, and Shout Outs!"

Thanks again, guys.

Bobby

Happy trails, Burt.

ESO AND THE BOBBY...

A little about Earth Station One. ESO is a podcast and also a network of podcasts (20 or so shows on the ESO Network at present, I believe). For 3 years or so, I was one of the co-hosts of the Earth Station One podcast (the mothership, as some of the hosts of the other shows on the network call it). It was a fun show and I had a great time co-hosting with ESO Director Mike Faber and “Howdy” Mike Gordon each week. Unfortunately, real life got in the way, as it does and I had to give up something and my options were podcasting or writing so I stepped away as an official co-host in September of 2015 to concentrate on my writing career. I have popped on the show a few times as a guest since then and I talk to Mike and Mike on a fairly regular basis.

The Earth Station One: Tales of The Station anthology was conceived as a fundraising effort to help bring in a few dollars to help upgrade the network servers, buy new microphones, etc. All stories are written by ESO Broadcast Network hosts or personalities, including some award-winners. I was still a co-host when I wrote my story. Here’s the official synopsis:

EARTH STATION ONE: TALES OF THE STATION
A Sci-Fi Anthology

New Legend Productions is proud to publish Earth Station One: Tales of the Station, an anthology featuring stories about the crew of the ESO Network podcast by Dr. Scott Viguie, Bobby Nash, Van Allen Plexico, Joe Crowe, and Michael Gordon. Introduction by Director Mike Faber. Cover art by Mark Maddox.

If you would like to read more, EARTH STATION ONE: TALES OF THE STATION is available from Amazon in paperback here-- https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Station-One-Tales/dp/1517017807.

You can also find the book in the ESO amazon Store here-- esopodcast.com

BOBBY JOINS VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX FOR SUPERHERO ANNIVERSARIES 2015!

Flashback to last year's Dragon Con! Join host Michael Bailey, Joe Crowe, Bobby Nash and Philip Schweier as we talk about the birthdays of some very special heroes on the latest Views From The Longbox podcast.

Give it a listen here.

Episode 218: "Live" From DragonCon...The Superhero-Versary

This time out I am presenting the audio from the panel I moderated at DragonCon back in September of 2015.  For the second year in a row Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel (the directors for the American Sci-Fi Classics track at DragonCon) invited me to not only be on some panels but moderate one that was all about the 75th anniversaries of a handful of DC characters.  Joining me on this panel were Joe Crowe (he of the RevCast and the RevolutionsSF website), Bobby Nash (award winning author) and Philip Schweier (of ComicBookBin.com).  For a little over an hour we talked about the heroes hitting the big 7-5 in 2015 including Robin The Boy Wonder, Captain Marvel, the Jay Garrick Flash, the Alan Scott Green Lantern, the Spectre, the Al Pratt Atom, the Joker and...someone else.  After going through the presentation I put together the audience got involved and some great conversations about the characters broke out.

This panel was a lot of fun to moderate an I had a ball putting together the PowerPoint presentation which you can view in PDF form by clicking on this link.  

I'd like to take a moment to thank Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel for having me be a part of the American Sci-Fi Classics family.  They have made DragonCon fun for me again and I appreciate them letting me play in their sandbox.  

Be sure to check out the links associated with the people on this panel too.  Because they're awesome.

EARTH STATION ONE ANNOUNCES TALES OF THE STATION ANTHOLOGY!

The line up

Here are some details on a project I'm part of with some really talented creators that will be available very soon.

The announcement:

Introduction by Director Mike Faber. Cover art by Mark Maddox. On sale soon from New Legend Productions.

The Earth Station One: Tales of the Station anthology was the brainchild of ESO co-host, Mike Gordon. When Mike asked if I would be interested in

Title page

participating, I immediately said yes. Somehow, I even let him wrangle me into helping with edits, which is usually not my favorite thing to do, but with the talent he’d lined up, I knew this project was going to be something special, much like the Earth Station One podcast. All profits from the book will be used to help keep The ESO Network of podcasts running.

Over the past few episodes, and the next couple leading up to Dragon Con, the ESO podcast will feature short interviews with the creators who worked on Earth Station One: Tales of the Station beginning with episode 277 with Bobby Nash, episode 278 with Dr. Scott Viguie, episode 279 with Mark Maddox, and new episodes premiering each week. You can hear them all at www.esopodcast.com.

The book will be available in paperback and for the Kindle and available through Amazon, New Legend Productions, The ESO Network, and at conventions where the podcast crew appears. Speaking of which, if you're at Dragon Con this Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, all of the writers will be on hand for a special book release premiere signing on Sunday, September 6th at 2:30 pm in the International Hall South ballroom at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. Look for it in the Dragon Con App. You won't want to miss this event. It’ll be a fun time.

See you there.
