I’m on the Cromcast

First, I need to apologize to Josh, Jon, and Luke for failing to mention in my report on Howard Days 2018 that they had interviewed me.  I plead fatigue and lack of sleep.  Age had nothing to do with it, really.

I’d also like to thank them for having me on the show.  It was great to visit with them in front of a microphone.  The episode went live the day I left on an extended trip, which is why I’m just not mentioning it.  Again, apologies for the delay in promoting it, guys.

For those of you who don’t know, the Cromcast is a podcast focusing on weird fiction.  It’s one you’ll want to listen to.

Over the weekend, the Cromcasters discussed amongst themselves how they thought Howard Days was going and interviewed a number of people.  In addition to me, they also talked with David J. West, Ty Johnston, Jason Waltz, Mark Finn, Indy Cavalier, Jeff Shanks, and Rusty Burke, just to name a few.  This episode is two hours long.  I come in at 11:18.  But don’t check it out just to hear me.  All of the guests, along with the hosts, have something interesting to say.

Listen to it here.  You’ll be glad you did.

Howard Days has grown, something that was emphasized since this year marked the 30th anniversary of the first Howard Days.  While things officially don’t start until Friday, people are showing up on Wednesday evenings.  Space is becoming a consideration, with events this year moved from the library to the high school auditorium or the Senior Center across the street from the library.  There were a number of new attendees, which is always a healthy thing for an event, and I’m not referring the 10,000 or so mosquitoes that showed up.
