The Patreon Podcast - Episode 75 - Death, etc

Ashley

It’s so cool to hear your insights from everything to your book to cats/dogs to whatever comes after life. Cool stuff. Listening to your podcasts is a journey on all kinds of diff topics, and I really look forward to them (:

Dan if you haven't considered it yet. Check out the book for the Martian, it has more detail, jokes and other trouble that got cut from the film which is still a reasonably faithful adaption

Hannah Tapson

This podcast went on a really weird journey and got super philosophical at one point and I feel like I really needed that 😅

or just a tv show

dan if you had the resources i would love to see a sitcom written by you

an electric duster has saved me so much money dusting the 3 PCs in my house and lots of LEGO. Mine cost £50 but is very powerful. I have to hold the fans so they don't induce a current and minfigs can sometime disconnect and fly across the room.

Dan: Let's talk about Video Game news Dan 20 minutes later: So that's how the universe works

You should include a list of the rules of time travel at the end of the book

In colorado, people here howl for our health care workers. It's kinda creepy at 8 o'clock there just this ommonus howling

Scott

Was this a ted talk?

Mike Jones

The New Yorkers are also doing the clapping, and from what I heard a little while ago they're doing it every single night.

Alan Hardman

As someone with a cat, yeah, I haven't gotten my life together yet. :P

Narmatonia

I feel like every liberal on the internet goes through an 'Angry Atheist' phase, where we take the hard-line fundamentalist religious beliefs and try to apply them to all religious people as an excuse to criticise all religions

I made a note to comment very early on in this podcast when you spoke about the length of your chapter and said a number that was intended to convey a great size. I then looked down at my word count per chapter of my book and the smallest is about 50% larger than that number, the highest being about 3 times it... ummm... yeaaaaah

Gremlin Energy

So I really want to ask this from a creative perspective but have u put in a prologue to sort of explain what happens in those 600 years or let it sort of unfold naturally over the course of the book? Legitimately just curious

PurpleManners

Can someone tell me what this podcast episode is about? The title seems quite triggering for me so I don’t wanna risk anything 😥

Also, I feel like Dan went into his "Doctor regeneration" type speech towards the end there.

Hey Dan, no idea if you've already watched this but based on your talk about being about to watch stuff with little bits of horror in I really, really do recommend What We Do In The Shadows. It's a low budget comedy by the bloke who has since gone on to direct Thor Ragnarok, and it is absolutely one of the funniest films I've ever watched. Yes it has vampires in it, but it's not horror; in fact, I'd say it's distinctly less horror than Shawn of the Dead is.

maybe divide the podcast into sections, one with book spoilers one without. I listen to the podcast religiously, but I really want to go into the book with as little information as possible.
