#99 - All LitRPG is Scifi with Neil Hellegers

Hey everyone,in our penultimate episode, Neil Hellegers joins me to talk about the importance of Audiobooks to the genre, SAG-AFTRA, and the difference betweenm stage acting and voice acting.This will probably be our last episode for a while. Why? Because I want to have a real highlight for Episode 100, to cap the show off at a great place. That means I'll try to kidnap someone (or several someones) at LitRPGcon next month, and end things with a bang! 😄To not make my Patreons wait, that episode will be free for everyone! Thank you all for your continued support. I couldn't have done this without you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/critrpg-a-podcast-about-litrpg-progression-fantasy-and-their/donations

#98 - Writing Roots with David Corbett

Today we're (finally) meeting one of the people who influenced my writing at a very early stage. It's my absolute pleasure to welcome David Corbett!To celebrate the occasion, we ventured a bit deeper into political waters in the Patreon section, but mostly we stuck to the main topic: Writing. David is a classically trained writer, and I found it absolutely fascinating to compare notes, find similarities, and learn something new. I hope you will, as well! 🙂Next week, it's Neil Hellegers turn!-------------------------------------------We have our own website now!
