Welcome to episode 207 of Erk Pod. This really should have been episode 206 as Erk explains at the start of the episode. This episode was recorded with the assistance of some alcohol at the Super 8 LAX Airport just prior to leaving for the US. This is the last Erk Pod episode recorded in the US. Erk provides an update about his last week in the US and what he did on his last day in the US.
The next episode of Erk Pod will be episode 208 which will cover Erk’s flight home to Australia and a couple of things that have happened since being home.

MAJOR EDIT:
This episode of Erk Pod was recorded on the road in Vegas with Erk using a USB headset mic attached to his eee PC. I wasn’t happy with the audio so I wasn’t going to upload it. The episode of Erk Pod that I then recorded from the Super 8 near LAX was going to be Erk Pod 206 instead. But I ended up uploading the Vegas one by mistake so that one will be 206 and the one recorded in LA will be Erk Pod 207.

This is part 2 of a special episode recorded with Erk, Cami Kaos & Dr Normal from Strange Love Live. Recorded in the SLL basement studio, Cami lets Erk sit in the SLL host chair and she sits on the guest couch. For part 1 of this special, listen to Erk Pod 188. We discuss Strange Love Live’s growth from an audio only podcast into the audio and video format that it is today.
In honour of the fact that it is an audio episode or two, Cami doesn’t have to worry about dressing up. Dr Normal doesn’t have to worry about streaming and Erk doesn’t have to worry about what to do with his hands.
Apart from this behind the scenes look into Kaos World, we discuss Erk’s appearance on Strange Love Live and his time in Portland, Vegemite, food and drink and a lot more.
So what happens when Dr Normal gets taken out of his comfort zone? What is Cami drinking? And did they learn anything about Australia & Erk?
Sit back and relax and enjoy!

Welcome to episode 205 of Erk Pod. This episode was recorded in two stages.
The episode starts in San Antonio, Texas. Erk is chatting with Jennifer (@epodcaster on Twitter) who founded NaPodPoMo (National Podcasting Post Month) that Erk, Drue, Orange Tim and Squeak took part in last year. She also is currently co-hosting Tech In Twenty. During the chat, we talk Texas, podcasting and a lot more as we walk and talk our way through San Antonio.
The episode then moves across to southern California and the last interviewee of Erk’s American trip, Megan aka Podcast Junky (not surprisingly, @podcastjunky on Twitter). We find out what’s on Megan’s iPod, visiting Disneyland, what Erk didn’t get to see in SoCal and more. Apart from being a Podcast Junky, Megan also produces her own podcast where she tells us what is on her iPod.

Sunday seemed to be book launch day at Balticon 43. Bright and earlyish on Sunday morning, my first interviewee of the day was Christiana Ellis. Later that night, she would launch her new book Nina Kimberly the Merciless.
Erk now has a signed copy of the book to read on the plane (or when he gets home) which promises to be enjoyable. So what is it like to see your name on the front cover of your own book for the first time? You’ll have to listen to Christiana’s answer – I think that would make her a “glass is half full” type of person rather than a “glass is half empty”. Apart from the book and related podcast, you can hear Christiana’s voice on her other podcasts as well as on other podiobooks.

This man is proof that as a podcaster and a podcast author, it’s good to get your voice heard as widely as possible. While I had heard PG Holyfield’s name around the writing podosphere, it was a talk podcast that made me go out and download his work.
At the start of most episodes of Evo at 11, PG would tell us what he had learned from the previous episode. And it is PG that gave me the brainstorm for the title of my Balticon special.
Two years ago, Erk started Erk Pod and Erk to the Diary Room. Around the same time, PG started podcasting his murder mystery “Murder at Avedon Hill”. Two years later, Erk is interviewing PG about the end of MaAH which has since been called with affection “The Podiobook That Never Ends.”
Having said that, sometimes being late to the party has it’s advantages. Instead of Erk having to wait 2-3 or 4 weeks to find out what happens after a Holyfield cliffhanger, it would be 2 to 3 minutes.
This interview was the most fitting end to the weekend at Balticon. You can hear the entire ”Balticon Special That Never Ends” as Erk Pod episodes 203 & 204.

I’m a late comer to the powerful train that is Scott Sigler. Sure, I’d heard him on other podcasts. Sure, I’d seen all of the other trains zooming around the space. But it is this trip to America that saw me board the Sigler Express as it approached me.
So with a fully loaded iPod, I hit the tracks and listened to Infected. Then I found that I didn’t want to get off the train. I’d heard/read that after listening to Infected, I should move to the Contagious carriage to continue the journey.
I looked down at my iPod – no Contagious! That carriage was nowhere to be seen! So I headed to the next carriage that I had of the Sigler Express and that was Noctural. It was out of sequence but I loved it for different reasons than Infected. Then when I got back to my metaphorical train depot, I found Contagious and have now caught up with that story.
Sick mo-fo? Hell yeah! Talented? No doubt. So if you are as late for the Sigler Express as I am, listen to this chat and climb aboard. There are seats for everyone!

Like many of the podiobook authors I had heard of, I heard about JC Hutchins through other podcasters. The first full interview which really sticks inside my head was one between JC and Stephen from the Tea & Chat podcast (come back soon, man!). I then went out and listened to JC’s UltraCreatives interview series and followed him on Twitter.
But it wasn’t until the current American trip that I devoted a lot of time listening to podiobooks. I listened to all 3 seasons of 7th Son and really enjoyed that. Then at Balticon 43, I got to meet and chat with the man himself after his book launch for Personal Effects: Dark Art. Here is the section of Erk’s “Balticon Special That Never Ends” featuring Erk chatting with JC recorded soon after the book launch.
