  Podioracket Interviews Mark Rayner

  Mark Rayner completes his first Podiobook and joins us to tell us about the feeling and share the news about the next! So hair is sprouting in unspeakable places and you can no longer carry a tune, but if you’re a surrealistic artiste with an addiction to Freudian mythology and guilt-free sex, turning into a monkey has its upsides. Nick Motbot may be evolving as a novelist, but his friends aren’t too sure about his DNA — at least, not since Gargantuan Enterprises started experimenting with it. And once they figure out what’s happening to him, they decide to set things right. MARVELLOUS HAIRY is a satirical novel about a group of friends sticking it to the man the only way they know how, with equal parts grain alcohol and applied Chaos Theory. Part literary fun-ride, part fabulist satire, and part slapstick comedy, MARVELLOUS HAIRY is about the power of friendship and love, the evils of power, and the dangers of letting corrupt CEOs run our world. And most importantly, it’s about how we have to release our fun-loving inner monkeys.

  The Triple Threat Philippa Ballantine, Chris Lester & J. Daniel Sawyer

  Free Will (and Other Compulsions) by J. Daniel Sawyer

  The Lunar Revolution is faltering. Events on Nineveh have convinced Doug Reeves that there are traitors in the resistance, and he's determined to purge them and ensure the revolution's survival.

  Get the rest of the details at the show! Three award-winning and award-nominated podcasters are teaming up to bring you their new novels on the same day. Philippa Ballantine revisits the world of the Fey in Digital Magic, Chris Lester returns to the world of Metamor City, and J. Daniel Sawyer brings back the dark conspirators and gamblers of The Antitithesis Progression with Free Will, the sequel to Predestination. On November 11th, three new, fully-produced dramatically presented audio adventures hit the podosphere - and tonight Podioracket brings these three insane characters together to attempt, probably in vain, to find a method buried beneath their many layers of madness.
