Episode 5
Welcome back! The Star Frontiers Network is pleased to present Episode 5 of the Whispers from the Void podcast. It’s been over a year since the last episode and this one was nearly a month in post production. All of that has been due to a serious lack of time on my part. However, I’m going to try to get the ball rolling again and get the podcast under way once more.
In this episode, I sit down and talk with Tom Verrault, known as jedion357 in the Star Frontiers on-line community. We discuss a wide range of topics including how he got started with and back into Star Frontiers, his sources of inspirations for ideas and writing for the Star Frontiersman and several of the projects he is working on.
This is the longest podcast yet and future podcasts will probably be of similar length. There is just too much to talk about to try to squeeze it into under 20 minutes. As usual there is a Choose Your Own Adventure segement at the end. Jump over to the Adventure forum to cast your vote for where the story will go next.
Enjoy the show!
