In which I get to interview Paul and Storm about their new series for Geek and Sundry called Learning Town. Then we get to the debate, Who is your favorite fictitious band?
This debate was recorded a while ago but got pushed back in the editing list. It’s the first debate I recorded with Google Hangout and was the ultimate test for me to decide to drop skype for debates and move on to google plus for that. It works much better, lets me schedule calls and has better sound quality. When dealing with many voices on varying mics, sound quality is important.

Nutty Debate: Reading vs Listening to fiction: Podiobook vs Dead Tree.
This is a Google Hangout recorded by youtube with quite a number of people on the call. The audio quality isn’t as top notch as normal and some of the guests have bad mics/connections but it’s listenable.
Every year geeks flock to Dragon*Con and WorldCon and many other cons, while more geeks are left at home wishing they could go. Three years ago a joke on twitter between @BrandG,@SVallie, & @Nlowell became a haven for those of us left out of the con club. Dragon*Cant, the virtual con, the un con, the all the con with none of the crud has grown and flourished over the past three years.
Through the magic of the internet (Ustream and Google Hangouts) we are able to not just host or attend a panel but to participate in them. Not only are the panels but meeting in the bar in between panels. With Twitter and Google hangouts over the next few days you can interact with geeks from all over the world, some your friends, and others friends you haven’t met yet. Both prior Dragon*Cants have brought me new friends I had never met before and gotten me closer with people I had only just seen on twitter.
