Last week, John Anealio and I hosted the great Mur Lafferty for the Functional Nerds podcast.
Despite Skype continually failing us (30 second random silences, disconnects, more 30 second random silences, more disconnects), we had a really good conversation.
Mur began podcasting in 04 so she is more than a little acquainted with the whole thing and had some good insights. She also knows a thing or two about publishing and alternative publishing, so it was a really informative discussion. I wish that Skype had cooperated and it could’ve been a more cohesive conversation. I did the best I could with the editing. Mur was a trooper about the whole thing.
John and I will have her on again.
The podcast itself is doing well. When John and I first discussed teaming up, I had no idea how well received the whole thing would be. Thanks for that! 
Episode 13 of the Functional Nerds featuring Mur Lafferty is live over on the Functional Nerds website. Check it out.

I’ll have to check the interview out.
You do! Despite the technical difficulties, we managed to get a decent conversation going. This week, John Ottinger from Grasping for the Wind – should be AWESOME!
