I had the pleasure of speaking with Sue Lange in the latest Radio Free Bliss podcast. Okay, I know it’s not April yet, but let me explain.

My original plan was to move to two interviews per podcast. I’ll be honest and say that this was a deliberate strategy in case something cropped up with an author and she couldn’t make it. Just as I was pondering this, Sue contacted a group of Broad Universe members on their use of technology in general, and podcasts in particular. We started a dialogue, and I told her what I was doing and she suggested hitting up the BU members for my interviews. Well, this fitted my revamped strategy perfectly! And, because she is such a gracious lady, she volunteered to go first (just like Ashley Ladd!), to reassure everyone else that an audio interview didn’t entail limb removal or any other sort of mutilation. Well, not most of the time, anyway.

As I was editing the final interview, I realised that a two-interview podcast would end up as a HUGE file, and would eat a lot of bandwidth for those listeners who download/will download the file for later listening. It would be an added pain if said listener/s had dial-up rather than broadband. So I’m breaking it up into individual podcasts again, although I’m still planning for two authors per month.

So that’s my grumble out of the way. What can I say about Sue Lange? She writes satirical speculative fiction, has held down a number of very interesting jobs (none of which I asked about in the interview!), and we had fun (I hope!) discussing labels in science-fiction, technology and Eastern Pennsylvania.
