Well done, indeed.

Thanks for sharing it with the world, PG.

I think this may be the first time I have heard the entire speech. I have no memory of it from school save a reference to the famous, “give me liberty or give me death” speech. Hearing those words in context and read with such passion has brought me so much insight as to the truth of the times.

Thank you for sharing this,
Paul Fischer

Much respect,
Dave M.

For my voice contributions, check out Chasing the Bard ( http://chasingthebard.com ), The Metamor City Podcast ( http://metamorcity.com ) and a short story by Jonathan C. Gillespie called Tex’s Last Run ( http://www.variantfrequencies.com/2008/04/08/texs-last-run/ ). I’ve done some other small contributions, but those are the big ones.

On this site there are two short stories (my T-Minus 2 and T-Minus 1 episodes). One is set in the Land of Caern, another is a story about meeting Scott Sigler for the first time
( http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/archives/76 and http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/archives/78 , respectively).

I am hoping to receive my copy of MaAH this coming week. I don’t know what to do!! Wait for the podcast, or just dive right on into the book…hmmmm. Tough one!

In other news…

This past Saturday, I was at car show and I can’t even tell you how many times I pimped out MaAH. I was shocked at how many people, who love literature, had no idea how many wonderful works are floating around the podosphere. So, if you ever come across a Mustang’s Club Business Card with, “Murder at Avedon Hill” printed on the back, you’ll know where it came from!

Lastly…

Do you have any links to past voice contributions or readings of your original work? I am sure a lot of listeners, myself included, would love to check them out. If this is already posted somewhere on your site, forgive my ignorance and point me in the right direction.

Thank you, as always, for all your hard work!

what a busy busy little boy we’ve become.

and nice mention about your bitstrip (twitter again)….

looking forward to the new release, MaAH as well as others…
Thomas

As Tolkien has long been one of my favorite authors, I have waited quite a while to be drawn into new great fantasy world. You pulled me into Caern, and I can’t wait to dive in and learn all about it.

You have done a brilliant job with the podcast! Does it kill me to wait for new episodes?? Hell yeah…but only because each episode is better than the next! (Plus the fact I LOVE Sir Arames….grrrr!)

The music is incredible…I have never heard anything quite like it and think it is a perfect fit for MAAH.

I am so jealous of the of all your guest readers. I got in late in the game, but hope to jump in the next time you do something wonderful. Everyone has sounded great!

You have given the world a very generous gift. I intend on buying the book, ASAP, and spreading the word about MAAH like a mad woman. Thank you, thank you, thank you from a very thrilled, podio-addict!

and the promo and bitstrip companion, brilliant!

Really though, this episode was absolutely awesome. Great story line, and great way to finish part 1.

I can’t believe you haven’t had more comments by now. This episode was (according to me) right near the top of your work. I don’t really know why I liked it so much. Maybe the way you narrated the events in this episode, maybe the cliffhanger, although you might not really call it a cliffhanger, but I’m very eager to know what happens next.

I have always streamed the audio I listen to straight from the web sites directly. Your show is so good that I have investigated pod catchers, pod casts in general, signed up or iTunes and PodioBooks and (drum roll) purchased my very first MP3 player so that I can listen anywhere. (Seriously, this is huge props, none of the other web sites managed to do this.)

I hope your father’s day broadcast was a success. I was mad at myself for not setting an alarm so that I could catch it once I realized it was too late. If you recorded it you should put it out on a stream so that those of us that missed it can join in after the fact. Please consider doing another one in the future!

This last episode was riveting and I was bummed to realize that I had listened to everything out there. I will be sure to enter your contest as I would love a shirt. (I’ll buy one even if I don’t win though. LOL)

Keep up the good work! You have a made a loyal fan of me. I am listening to Heaven now by Mur Lafferty as a result of your site, waiting for your next episode to arrive.

Best regards and much respect,
-Dave M.

Fortunately it’s just 1-2 hours before my regular time getting up.

I probably won’t be able to attend it because of the pathetically low internet speed I have (256 kbps), and even if there is a low bandwidth version that you put up, I’ll be late for it because there’re power cuts in my town every day for two hours in the morning from 6:30 to 8:30 AM, which seems to extend for a quarter of an hour to half an hour most of the time.

There really is nothing you can do about it. Its just my bad luck. You’ve got fans all over the world, and I’m sure that what you’re doing will be best for the majority of users.

I’m still in love with your novel, P.G., and your novel is still my favourite.

I hope it goes well.

Well, I certainly understand. If it works, I should be recording the event through ustream. I based the time on having the best chance of pulling in west coast listeners (post father’s day events) and so a certain kiwi can attend.

the UBER-Nemesis opened a HUGE can of worms

This was another great episode, by the way.

AKA The lewd crude and Rude Bitch fro ct.

What are you waiting for people? Go comment on MaAH at http://parsecawards.com/node/288

Thanks for the effort PG, you’re doing a great job.

I am suprised you don’t like the - that totally makes the whole podcast experience for me. I even went out and bought the album. Still everyone is different!

(btw, why a rotweiller??

I did say Jovial Rotweiller treed

i got the fire to put to your feet if it isn’t here……………

heehee

Slvkitty, thank you so much for your kind words. Stay tuned for the next chapter. It’s gonna be a fun one!

Kitty, welcome to the world of MaAH and Caern, i have been hooked from day one (I even got my daughter hooked on it). and like Sukarn, i KNOW this is the best podnovel out there

A few weeks ago, a dear friend of mine Kellen, suggested I should listen to MAAH. I have been hooked on this ever since.

Now I can’t wait for the next ep.

My significant other, wants the Novel he was highly impressed with what he heard, but having time to read allows him the opportunity for the actual Novel.

Ok, I’m being long winded.. Thank you for sharing this well written and spoken, novel.

-Till the next

Kitty

I’m shooting for Friday for ep. 22. (EDIT: Sunday or Monday… didn’t finish tonight and heading to raleigh on saturday).

Still loving your book, and its still the best podcast novel out there.

I do understand that the inconsistent release schedule is annoying for you. Frankly it annoys the hell out of me too, but I have a limited amount of time to put these episodes together. I hope you can remain patient while I continue trying to put out a quality product as fast as I possibly can.

I would love to visit some podcast meetups but not a lot happens over here in the UK. However the supremely talented Mike Bennett has said he may do a book launch in Brighton in the South of the UK if he decides to launch OATS in print.

if you get within 400miles of san antonio, i am there (with family in tow)

hell, i’d even go to el paso (10hr drive, well actually 8hrs for me, low level flight, ya know), sit would even do that 14hr drive to sante fe, NM (alburquerque would be better, though, like it better there).
wife has been hinting at me to do a math podcast. i haven’t a clue how to do this and it would need to be video (i can’t talk math without a whiteboard)

i am rambling now, goodbye

OH and PG, thanks again for the opportunity to do the SSF. Abby sounds great (sound did Lolly, our lovebird)

and PG………..oh nevermind, i am braindead after this week at school

and dropping date night for your podcast?? what you got for brains dude?? damn……….

Ok, you bastages. I am canceling date night with the wife so I can try to finish the episode. So while you are enjoying a night with your family (except for treed, who apparently sits in iTunes pressing the Update podcast button for MaAH every five minutes), I’ll be working… for Nick, who bought a MaAH shirt from cafepress even though I haven’t said word one about my old store on cafepress.

Later.
