I have Podcasted—is that the right conjugation?—I have Podcast? I have committed Podcast? I have appeared on a podcast, I guess is the way to put it.
A month or so ago, Friend of the Blog, Jeff Quest who took part in a Q&A some time back about the podcast he co-hosts*, Like the Wolfe. invited me onto one of his other podcasts, Barbican Station. Barbican Station is primarily a look at Mick Herron’s Slough House series, but he’s also looking at some of Herron’s other works, which is where I come in. We discussed Herron’s stand-alone, Reconstruction. Reconstruction is an Espionage-adjacent Thriller, but more of something in the Crime Fiction genre. It’s—simply put—great and the work that turned me into a Herron fan.
We spent about an hour talking about Reconstruction, Herron in general, Slough House, and a few other things. It was a blast. Give it a listen–while you’re at it, give it an extra one for me, since there’s no way I’m going to bear listening to the voice that isn’t Jeff’s.
* He also contributed a nice post in my Strolling Down Amnesia Lane series last year.

Hey, H.C., I’ve seen your picture online a couple of times, so listening to the podcast, it was nice to be able to put a voice to the face. BTW, you definitely have a pleasant voice, almost soothing. I’ve listened to recordings of myself, and, trust me, not soothing. I’ll stick to the written word:)

Soothing? That’s gotta be Jeff 🙂
Seriously, thanks, Bob. I’m with you on your reasoning–there’s a reason this is a blog and not a vlog 🙂

What a daunting challenge to go on a podcast! I’m glad to read how much you enjoyed the experience and got to talk about things that interested you.
P.S. I wanted to let you know that going forward, I will be starting a new solo blogging adventure and that I’d love to keep in contact with you through it (it’s not live yet but will be in a couple of hours). There’s no obligation whatsoever but I thought it was worth mentioning it to you before it all goes live! 😀
HCNewton
Yeah, I was pretty daunted in the run-up to it, Jeff made it easy, though.
Followed and looking forward to seeing what you’ve got up your sleeve! Thanks for the heads up!
