Very informative and funny

I'm a fan of both these authors and it was interesting to hear their views on the publishing industry today, their interest in science, and how Orson Scott Card learned from Ben Bova. Excellent interview. I highly recommend it.

Ok but, uh...

Uh, I uh thought that uh Mr. uh Rudnicki, a most excellent performer, said “uh” way too often.

Everyone! Listen up!

Every reader, every writer, every editor, every listener, LISTEN. Three paragons of literature, especially audio literature!

Fun

It was a pleasure to have some excellent commentary from 2 brillant writers on the subject of audible books. I have been a fan of audible books for over 15 years and have not really put that much thought into the verbal tradition of storytelling. I loved the enthusiasm expressed by all 3 creators. I think this is something any audible listener would enjoy checking out, even if they are not sci-fi fans. Thanks for this fun audible freebie. Keep up the great work.

Love this interview w/two of my favorite authors!

What made the experience of listening to Ben Bova and Orson Scott Card the most enjoyable?

Orson Scott Card is my favorite Sci-Fi author and Ben Bova was his mentor. It was great to hear them talk about their works in general and specifically about the future of audio books.

What other book might you compare Ben Bova and Orson Scott Card to and why?

Not really any book to compare it too since this is a podcast type interview.

Which scene was your favorite?

Didn't really have a favorite scene. I enjoyed the entire interview.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Since it was less than 30 minutes long the answer to this question is "Yes."

Any additional comments?

I would love to hear more interviews like this with some of my other favorite authors.
