Scott's Case Files

The Danny Joe Podcast Theme

While I was in Vegas I got an Email from my buddy Danny Joe (who was sadly unable to make it to the Navy reunion and was missed big-time!) saying that he'd finished the podcast theme music that I'd requested.  He's a musician and when you want something I've found that it's best to go straight to the experts and I love Dan's beat.  I'm a fan.

I checked out the theme music and was floored!  He thinks I was buttering him up with my response, but Dan really hit the nail on the head.  The music is fun, action-packed, and really brings in the feel of the blog and podcast.  It's just toe-tappin' goodness!  He even sent several different mixes for slightly different feels and to top it off, they're structured so that I can use the whole song or a shortened version or even use part of it as a "bumper" (radio/podcasting talk for ya).  You can bet that it'll be opening my 'casts from this point on.

No, you don't get to hear it here - you'll have to wait for my next podcast before I unveil it.  The good news is that the music really motivated me along with my buddy Mike's interest in the French Foreign Legion, helping me pick my next esoteric topic.

Look for the new podcast sometime this weekend!

Geek Podcast

Well, I've set up a podcasting feed and site and have popped my first podcast on it.

Check out Scott's Case Files Podcast #1 - Geekdom!

A Lil' Vamp Story

Every so often I submit a piece of material to White Wolf in an effort to get into their pool of freelance writers from which they draw talent to write their sourcebooks and what have you.

I've never been successful.

I actually posted this fiction submission attempt a while ago in Word format but I'm trying out podcasting here and figured this was an interesting experiment, so I've turned it into a kind of audio book podcast for your listening (hopefully) pleasure.  I tried my best to get in character and hit it here and there, so if my performance wasn't the best...well, I don't do it for a living, right?

Here you go.  "My Precious One"

Podcast: RPGs

I've decided to experiment a little with podcasting, so here goes.  My first subject is role-playing games.  No, not the kind you do in the bedroom with your woman where you're a villain and she's Wonder Woman with her golden lasso and forces you to tell the truth.  The type of role-playing game I'm talking here is the kind where you buy the books for it at hobby or actual RPG shops and take on the role of another character with a Game Master (aka Storyteller) at the helm of the world for the players.

So, for more, check out my podcast.  The intro music is a small slice of the song "Lost In Space" by my buddy Danny Joe who has graciously given me permission to use it.  I don't see that song on his page at the moment, but check out some other cool tunes of his HERE.
