The Adventures of Indiana Jim

A lighthearted look at life at the intersection of creativity, entertainment and technology from one of the singular personalities in podcasting.

Starting as a regular “voicemailer” to the pioneering podcast ‘Slice of SciFi’, and contributor of comedy to ‘Michael & Evo’s Wingin’ It’, Indy goes back to the earliest days of podcasting, before the days of the brands and big media companies. He was a finalist in 2009 for a Parsec Award, given annually at Dragon*Con for excellence in genre entertainment podcasting, for his full-cast fan Audio Drama Star Wars – Codename: Starkeeper. He is also an author of Science Fiction and Fantasy and erstwhile Gaming YouTuber.
