The Butcher Block

[21m 8s] In the final part of the interview, Fred talks with Jim about what the future holds (and that snazzy Hugo nod). In particular, we find out some details about the upcoming 12th Dresden Files novel, and what Jim might do for a second series after Alera wraps up. Plus, a dangerously decaying orbit around the moon! Tune in. AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, there are probably some SPOILERS in this one. If you're current on the series, though, you're probably in good shape.

[21m 44s] In this second of three parts, Fred continues his conversation with Jim, covering the frequently asked questions of the tour, including things like Harry's relationships (and lack thereof), power escalation, the number of books in the series, the RPG that Fred and others are working on, and that whole "Jim Butcher Himself" thing. Plus, famous people are just people, and James Marsters is a good guy. NOTE: There are some mild series spoilers in here, but it's nothing that people who've read all of the paperbacks and the Turn Coat sample chapters online don't already know. All the same, you've been warned!

[19m 58s] In this first of three parts, Fred sits down with Jim at his house to talk about the things going on with his family, his proud papa moment, swinging around nerf lightsabers in the dead of night while camping, exploding zombies with propane tanks, and oh, yeah, that signing tour he's going on in April. - The Signing Tour - Shannon's New Book - NERO with Jim

(39min 26sec) Fred talks about the Curse of Knowledge when it comes to the TV show, and brings on a friend who's seen the TV show but never read the books to help apply a "filter". But first, some news about how you can see Jim in March and April, how you can see him on the set of the TV show, and how the TV show's been doing in the downloadable arena. Plus, a small update on the progress of the RPG.

(40min 30sec) Fred returns to talk about the first two episodes of the TV show, hints at some upcoming news about White Night, fails to get Jim on the line due to a deadline, and touches on his experience at Dreamation 2007. Plus, he sits down with Dresden Files RPG co-author Rob Donoghue to talk about the Dresden Files on TV.

(21 min 2 sec) Fred's running off to Dreamation and Jim's on pain medication, so this episode deviated a bit from our original expectations. You'll find a short commentary on the first episode of the TV series, "Birds of a Feather", including an apology Robert Wolfe made about some of the episode, as well as Fred's thoughts on controversy. But that's all secondary to this episode's special "Prime Cut" from the upcoming Summer Knight audio book...
