Besides writing and directing theatre, Chuck creates amazing art and builds things (including the Guardians podcasting round table)! Motel Thunderbolt will only have two performances on May 24th and 25th at Albemarle High School, so be sure to check it out!

In addition to helping promote his new play, the Guardians are also helping Chuck get books for his kids to read. If you have ANY books (ones you own, ones you find at yard sales, one you wrote yourself) that you are willing to donate – please let us know.

We can arrange pick up if you are local, or you can swing by Geek Gala HQ and leave them in our deckbox on the front porch. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

Episode 257: Author Darin Kennedy

Episode 257: The Guardians are joined by our good friend, Darin Kennedy, doctor by day, novelist by night.

Darin is an author of contemporary and dark fantasy, his debut novel, a paranormal mystery titled The Mussorgsky Riddle, was first published Jan 2015 and was quickly followed by the second and third books in his Fugue & Fable series, The Stravinsky Intrigue and The Tchaikovsky Finale, all available from the fine folks at Falstaff Books. His contemporary fantasy, Pawn’s Gambit, was released Oct 2016, also from Falstaff Books, with the second complete and headed your way soon and the third well underway. That, along with a slew of short stories about hot necromancers, immortal monster hunters and various things that go bump in the night, as well as an unpublished young adult fantasy novel, round out this writer’s somewhat eclectic taste in story subject matter.

Episode 53! Starneslord, Carol the Cat and the Giddygeeker headed to Atomacon in Charleston, SC and were able to host 3 podcasts while we were there! And last but not least, we were honored to meet with Podcasting’s very own Rich Sigfrit!

A little bit about Rich (taken from her one of his convention biography pages):

To say that I enjoy podcasting and new media would be a gross understatement. My credits include mentions in high school and collegiate papers, newspapers, Podcasting for Dummies, and Advanced Podcasting Tricks. I have been called an innovator, having created the first fandom podcast (RotO), the first podcast for an Independent Wrestling Federation (Halo: Hardwired), and distributed the first comic book made available via podcast feed (Podcast 9). I was the force behind the official Troma Podcast and a former host/editor of the 501stCast, the official podcast of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion. I have been a contributing editor for both online and print magazines. Along with Davey Beauchamp, I co-wrote the Amazing Pulp Adventures Radio Show, Starring Mister Adventure Script Book. Along with his writing talents, Davey and I have been doing Mister Adventure via podcast and live on stage for the past five years.

I have also done commercial voice work as the voice of CRASH and SWE Wrestling, Volaris phone systems, Howards RV and Fit Family NC (also providing puppetering). I have MCed numerous events at various cons and am the host of Thinkin’ While You’re Drinkin’, a traveling trivia company. Between the podcasts, requested voices from other shows, and being a father of three, various audio sketches and dramas have been heard on ChronoRadio, Star Wars and Beyond, SwitchedOn Show, the Geeklabel Podcast and Dragon Pages’ Wingin’ It syndicated show, (plus countless guest appearances on other shows) of which I am very proud. Currently, I am the media consultant for GOUGE pro Wrestling and the voice of Nerd-Vana, RTP’s only Nerd/Geek themed Burlesque/Variety show.

In my spare time, I sleep.
