My “Live From Prairie Lights” Appearance

Posted on May 10, 2007    Posted by John Scalzi

For those of you who just can’t get enough of the dulcet sound of my speaking voice, the radio recording of me for Iowa Public Radio’s “Live From Prairie Lights” is up on the program’s Web site. In it I am reading from the first chapter of The Last Colony and then answering questions from moderator Julie Englander and also audience members. Two things to be aware of:

1. I think the reading is okay, but not my best reading on the tour – most of the other places I went with a version of the first chapter of the upcoming The High Castle, so here I was fumbling a little bit (sorry, Iowa);

2. The recording is presented via RealAudio, which I know will make some section of the Whatever audience go all “Reelawdeeo is Teh Evaaal!111!!!one!!” and so on. Hey, I have no control over the format they choose. Don’t whine to me about it.

For those of you who do click through, I think the Q&A section (which should be about halfway through) is pretty good. Enjoy.
