In the penultimate episode of Books & S--t Season 1, Brian and Sam welcome author Eric Brach, a professor at Cal Lutheran who is co-authoring the memoir of Billy McGill, former #1 NBA draft pick, to be published by University of Nebraska Press. It's a menage a trois of banter, drunkenness, and heavy petting as we discuss celebrity authors, the delicate art of writing biographies, and what YOU can do to help save the tragically endangered CA Boose!

This is the episode Brian has been waiting for! Finally, we drink the Stout that heals the soul, the sweet nectar of St. James' Gate, Dublin's pride, Guinness! And, making the show even more special, we welcome Jason Enright, Founder and Publisher of WE Comics. In this episode, we talk about The Millions' list of difficult books, their merits, their flaws, and why exactly they're so damned hard to read. We also talk to Jason about the starting his own company and his favorite literary genre, all while getting very drunk on Guinness.

Let me here you say boom da boom boom da boom da bay-bee . . .
When one thinks of a beautiful, round-faced British singer with a booming voice, one wouldn't be too far off to guess that one may be referring to Adele; however, the cherubic, little songstress I'm here to discuss is Sophia Grace.

Don't touch Books & S--t or you'll get burned, as Brian and Sam drink their way through another amazing episode, this time welcoming special guest Joe LeFavi, transmedia guru and Founder and Ambassador of Awesome of Quixotic Transmedia. They discuss recent food-based news stories, namely the True Blood cookbook and the decision that Chicken Soup for the Soul will actually make soup. The trio also drunkenly debates the changing face of entertainment consumption, the potential of transmedia, and the author Joe LeFavi would most like to have an affair with.

Hello, all! Welcome to another issue of Indie and the Geek. This week I sat down with Richard Zerga and Kristi “Batz” Zerga to discuss their upcoming indie works this September and their very own indie publisher. Here’s how it all went down.
"When you're alone,
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown.
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry,
Seem to help, I know, downtown . . ."
So go the lyrics to Petula Clark's famous pick-me-up song, "Downtown," and the same could be said about Ellen DeGeneres' feel-good afternoon talk show. If you lost your job, your car won't start, or your freakin' hairdresser cut your bangs too short, Ellen can turn all of that around.
Books & S--t #002: Domaine Ste McNeil
*Warning: Contains strong language, alcohol consumption, and adult content.
In this episode of the scalding hot, new podcast celebrating our love of literature and booze, Brian & Sam welcome special guest author Gretchen McNeil (Possess, Ten) and focus on the growing trend of Twitter chats as book promotion and publicity (Tor Chat, Random House Chat). They also discuss Gretchen's favorite literary heroine, who ACTUALLY wrote To Kill A Mockingbird, and also go through the steps of performing a Christian exorcism as dictated by Wiki-how.
After the all-seeing eye of Lady Gaga discovered a copy of Michael Troy's comic book tribute Going Gaga! at San Diego Comic-Con, she tweeted, "So cool. Someone found this at Comic-Con. Can I buy it? Pleasssee!!!"
The tweet heard 'round the virtual world had little monsters clamoring to find a copy for Mother Monster and perhaps get their little paws on a copy of their own. The small indie comic immediately sold out and left everyone wanting more!
