Great show! I really enjoyed the interview. You mentioned at the beginning of the podcast that your listeners have been saying they are too long? I think the more the better, esp with someone like Tracy Hickman who I’ve been reading for more years than I care to admit.
Suggestion: when you have an interview coming up, what about posting it up ahead of time on the boards and asking for listeners to voicemail in questions?
Anyway, great job, thanks for putting up that show.

Interesting show and extremely useful information. I remember reading the Dragonlance series back in the mid-80s.
As for the length of the show, I prefer shows that are under 40 minutes as it’s easier for me to listen to a whole show at one time (on my way to work in the morning).
Unfortunately, I’m not able to listen to music/podcasts during my work at my day job so I’ll then have to wait until the end of the day to listen to the remaining bits. But that’s just me!
Also, congrats on working with another national magazine!

That was the best ISBW interview ever! Tracy Hickman was helpful, interesting, and fun.
Also, thanks for playing the promo! You ROCK Mur!

Great interview! However… I was really hoping to hear a question about collaboration. Because who better than to ask than someone who has co-written so many books? Maybe that could be a topic for a future show?

great interview! don’t worry about length when it comes to your interviews. This was the best interview I’ve heard so far on any podcast. Two thumbs up!!

I finally got around to this one (I’m too busy writing to listen to podcasts these days, is that a good thing?)
Kick-ass interview. Tracey is so cool and his podcast is high-quality production (that most of us don’t have time for). I’m always amazed that you seem to ask new and different questions with each interview.
Thanks Mur!
