In the comments please leave some kind of question or something you want me to respond to… PLEASE!
I just talked to myself for fifteen minutes and it was NOT GOOD. I need something to respond to…. anything you can do in the next couple hours will be awesome. Leave it as a comment, an e-mail to brandoncwoods@gmail.com or on facebook or myspace.
I want to get this done tonight before I lose my nerve.
EDIT: To give people time to send in questions I actually decided to leave this open until about 1:00 PM EST.
How many mythical creatures have you had sex with? How much money would you have to make in a year to make it not worth your time to pick up a penny? (assuming picking up the penny stops the flow of income) Why are you so sexy? Why is every single particle in the universe moving, and which one started moving first? How many stalkers do you have?
Who would win in a fight? A velociraptor, or Jesus? How about a pack of velociraptors versus a pack of Jesii?
The relation between, even crossing over of TLotR and WoT.
A story relating to your harrowing experiences on the Oil rigs?
Why halloween has such a significant impact on such a westernised culture (also see sex with Halloween-liek creatures… as that seems to be whats getting you off at the current time.)
The end of Grey Bolt >_>
Do you ever plan on picking up John Kennedy Toole’s other book, “The Neon Bible”? I just got a copy not too long ago and plan on reading it soon.
I know you said it’s okay to have sex with shapeshifters, but what about skin walkers? Would you make them an exception due to your personal experience with them?
And, finally, I do believe we all need to hear your wookie impression.
Hmm…Ok, why should I read fantasy books? Are you ever going to write a book about all your family stories? Because you should. I would buy it.
1. What would be your perfect sandwich?
2. In the event of a zombie Apocalypse, what’s your plan?
3. Which do you find more attractive, a unicorn or a pegasus?
Where did that comment list thingie go?? I don’t know why but not seeing it on the side panel totally throws me…it’s almost like I can’t quite access your site now.
When did you move to Boise?? How could you let me imagine you in Aberdeen (in an extremely wet climate) when in fact you’d relocated to the much drier environs of Idaho? It’s crucial to me that I picture everyone in their correct situation and weather, otherwise..
oh holy crap – I am really and truly bonkers.
when will this podcast be avalible. Will it be on Itunes or something?
When are you going to start writing hilarious stories about your family again, instead of depressing/poor me rants about your life?
@massageon
How does speculation about sex with mythological creatures count as depressing/poor me rants about my life?
@Eric
It will be available on youtube and I’ll embed it here. I just have to get the file size right because when I tried to do it last night it got rejected.
An idea you may want to look into to help with the awkwardness of doing the podcast is to have a set time to record and post it here a few days in advanced. Then, while recording, take questions live off of twitter/facebook/myspace/here and answer them that way.
yeah, I had some trouble getting over the fact that I was talking to a plastic skull. I’m going to be doing a lot more of these and then posting them on youtube without linking them here. I think I have about twenty really really shitty shows in me before I get good enough.
I really should have waited to get home to listen to that. I just about hurt myself trying not to burst out laughing at the wookie impression and the subsequent commentary on it.
@ShawShaw
See, now I thought it was just overly awkward. I really need to learn to relax when I do this. I was so tense.
I thought it was pretty good BC. I’m on Part 4 right now.
Well thanks for the compliment but… yeah… I’ve got some serious work to do.
Have you ever read anything by S.M. Stirling? Seconding Jacobpants, why are you so sexy? What are your thoughts on the 2012 theory? Could you tell us one thing that you haven’t revealed about yourself yet? What are you most afraid of EVER (think spiders, heights and other irrational things)?
Sorry this is past deadline. I had to work today.
Nice job! I really enjoyed this. (And normally when bloggers do podcasts I tend to think it’s booooring.) Thanks for the recommendation, I’m going to find myself a copy of The Name of the Wind.
That was entertaining, although I thought all of your apologies were unnecessary. I’m looking forward to hearing you read your stories about your family.
Also, here’s a question I don’t think you have covered anywhere yet… Exactly how much did Tucker end up paying you?
Damn you and your scholarly ethics! But great pod cast. You sound so wholesome till you talking about fucking Pegasus. Are you going to do another?
@Josh
He was paid $82 dollars for 6 months work. The answer can be found here:

In the comments section.
@meggiemarin
I will answer those in the next one. It will be up on the youtube channel and not linked here. Deal?
@DiaryofWhy
It’s fantastic. I can’t conceive of anyone NOT at least liking that book.
@Josh
I apologize a lot. About half of everything I say is “Sorry” which is more or less one of the reasons I don’t go out into public. I always feel out of place. Hence the tagline on the site. Also, DJ’s answer to your question is correct.
@Eric
I am indeed. I’m going to keep doing these until they don’t suck.
@DJ
Way to go Warden of Stories!
EILEEN! I almost forgot you.
And I’ve been here about a year and a half helping my mother not lose her house… which is just awesome I guess.
And I’m going to put everything back up in about a week after most of the google traffic for the WoT Week subsides. I don’t want to profit off something so douchey. In fact, I’m sure part of me putting this podcast up now is to sabotage myself.
I’d always imagined your voice being more nasally and higher pitched … I wasn’t as much concerned with the content as I was with my worldview being shattered
You have a great voice for the internet – and the internet for some strange reason requires a different type of voice than radio.
Anyway, I really enjoyed hearing you present your views.
Have to agree with Josh on the apologies which always worked for me in print but seem to interupt the flow when presented as audio…but good for you for your resolve to practice till perfect, though you don’t sound nearly as awkward as you seemed to think.
45 minutes to write a Java program, what were you doing? Creating Skynet?
However, you should create youtube math tutorials as that would be humourous? “Yeah, you see when you take this integral you get a giant ninja penis”
…oh! I should add that your voice is as comforting as Bob Ross’s but you’re way more interesting!
Your voice is like porn to me.
@Nympymplee
I know right. It’s like when you talk to someone on the phone a lot and you see them in real life and think “You don’t look like that.”
@Tech Support
Well, I’m a shitty programmer. And maybe one day I’ll give my thoughts on trig functions applied to Daisy Chains.
@Eileen
Bob Ross levels of comfort that… that is really really really really nice.
@Dani
You saying my voice is like porn to you is like porn to me.
Well BC, you were using Java so it is a given. I still say you do youtube math tutorials.
You visualise us, as a group of dead people..?
Wow. Thanks for the confidence boost man.
