- The Ditch Diggers come to you live from Jeff Goldblum’s Free-Range Panther Habitat with special guests, Parvus Press co-founder and publisher, Colin Coyle, and FLOTSAM author RJ Theodore, known conversationally as Rekka!
- Jeff Goldblum’s open-door panther policy is discussed, including panther-proofed biometric panther doors, as well as the definition of “honcho” and how many honchos fit in Jeff Goldblum’s spa/pool.
- Colin discusses the founding of Parvus Press and his personal journey to become an indie publisher.
- Rekka talks about FLOTSAM and the journey of an author choosing to go with an indie publisher for their book.
- Colin announces that Parvus Press has inked a national distribution deal for their books, talks about how that happened, and also discusses indie publishers and distribution deals, the pitfalls and positives, and what warning signs to look for when you suspect you’re dealing with a predatory distributor.
- Everyone agrees to collaborate on Jeff Goldblum panther fiction.
- Colin and Rekka take the Ditch Diggers thru the life of an indie book from the perspectives of both the publisher and the author.
- The customary end-of-episode shilling, including an unprecedented shilling move from Matt!
