Ditch Diggers #80: Mur is Bad Cop Today

We recorded this a month ago and then the hammer of deadlines fell.

We come to you from Jody Foster’s Gorilla Preservation, and talk about how, if you want to make a career, you are not the one story you’re in love with.

We talk about Wonder Boys. And Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. And Mur is really mean.

Ditch Diggers #77: Just Jetpacks

The 20-Minute Ditch returns! Time is the fire in which we burn! In this new mini-episode Matt and Mur talk about inventing science fiction and how it’s just people plus robots plus jet packs. More seriously, they talk about how “literary” authors offering “serious takes” on SF is reductive and harmful to SF authors and the field in general, and the result that attitude has on how books are marketed and sold.

Ditch Diggers #64: 20 Minute Ditch on Grudges

Welcome to the second edition of the 20-Minute Ditch! Because you’re making money moves (that’s from Matt’s introduction, which he will probably not be allowed to make anymore). On this episode the Ditch Diggers talk about professional grudges. Can they be healthy? Can a certain level of forgiveness be unhealthy? It’s complicated stuff, but somehow Matt and Mur completely explain and solve it in twenty minutes. They’re just that good.
