On the latest episode of Geek Gab, we discuss three new movies, including the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor: Ragnarok.
I also have an announcement for Geek Gab listeners. My “watch it burn and bring marshmallows” position on the collapse of Hollywood is no secret to frequent readers of this blog. This well-deserved contempt for Hollywood has led me to severely reduce my consumption of new releases, and with the industry doubling down, I may end up not seeing any new movies at all for the indefinite future.
The format of Geek Gab Prime has found its groove as a new Hollywood release review show. I’m not questioning this development. The other hosts and the audience enjoy it. However, as the one guy on a movie review podcast who doesn’t watch new movies, the insights and entertainment value I can bring to the table are limited.
More to the point, my evolving understanding of the indie publishing industry has led me to realize that my writing output must increase if I am to succeed in the new publishing landscape. I’ve been making strides toward that end, but my increased writing and editing workload now leave me little time for anything else, including, sadly, regular podcasting.
It is with a heavy and grateful heart that I announce my retirement as a host of Geek Gab, effective immediately. Daddy Warpig and Dorrinal have been informed and have accepted my resignation with class and professionalism. I’m sure they’ll rise to new heights, and I’ll be there cheering them on from the audience.
Thank you, Daddy Warpig and Dorrinal, for a fun and horizon-expanding journey! We traveled this road together for almost three years, and I’m eternally grateful you invited me along.
To everyone reading out there, be sure to keep catching Geek Gab Prime every week and Dorrinal’s Geek Gab Game Night specials.
On the bright side, this means you’ll also be getting more stories from me. On that front, The Ophian Rising, Soul Cycle Book IV is rapidly nearing completion. Subscribers to my newsletter can expect some special surprises in the coming days.
If you haven’t read the first three Soul Cycle books, there’s still time to catch up on my award-winning SFF series before the final book comes out.
