Well, for those of you who have sat up at night, desperate to hear what my voice sounds like, the wait is over. My fellow blogger JJ, over at The Invisible Event, runs a superb podcast covering all aspects of the Golden Age. You should check it out, from wherever you get your podcasts from, or just stream it from JJ’s blog.

We had a very enjoyable chat about modern writers who use Golden Age ideas, structures and settings, and if you want to listen to it, then here is a link to JJ’s post on it, which contains the links to listen to it. Someone on that post asked for a list of the books mentioned in the chat – here is that list, although it’s by no means complete.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it.
