It’s raining audio!
My fellow Campbell nominee, Jon Armstrong, interviewed me for his podcastIf You’re Just Joining Us.
if you’re just joining us is a podcast about books, culture, media, ideas, and cheese. You know, the important things.
Jon is a charming host, and I had a great time talking with him. ((If only my microphone wasn’t buzzing and I didn’t say “um” quite so often)) We mostly talked about puppets, with brief forays into writing. This is the first of a series he’s doing, interviewing the other nominees.
You should check out his book, Grey, which is a science-fiction novel filled with fashion intrigue, including competitive ironing. Squee!

I hope you enjoy. It’s got a story in it that I normally only tell in bars at cons.
You were fine. I don’t think you said “um” too much. At least I didn’t notice it. The Snow White story was particularly funny. I would have died laughing too.
The Lanchpad workshop sounds really neat. Please post a very detailed account of that. I wish I was going!
My college speech coach would be horrified. She worked so hard to train ums and ers out of me.
But that is for prepared speeches. Completely different. She would understand.
Clearly, you never met my speech coach.
I use to compete in a couple of impromptu events.
You are like the podcasting queen!
Bow to me, vassal.
I meant that figuratively.
(ONOZ, I’ve created a monster!)
Darn. I didn’t see the “like” before…
Bow to me, like a vassal.
(She’s good…we’ll have to work on being quicker and wittier…)
I didn’t really hear an ummms. =) Fantastic podcast Mary!
Jon deserves all the credit.
I think both you and Jon did a great job, and I don’t think I’d have actually paid much attention to any of your umms if you hadn’t mentioned them.
Plus it was interesting enough that I actually listened to the whole interview, which I almost never do.
Yeah. That goes with the whole advice about never apologizing for your mistakes BEFORE you start.
You have a wonderful voice, Mary.
I had the pleasure of reading ‘Grey’ a few months ago, back when it was first offered online in March. The story is thoroughly enjoyable. It was a pleasure to listen to you both.
Thank you!
I read Grey online as well, and I’m glad to find a new author to enjoy. That’s the best thing about the Campbell nominations, I think. Finding new writers.
