Schnuthcast Episode 008 (40.2MB, 58:25)

I first got into Neil Gaiman’s writing back in high school through the comic book Sandman and have been following his work ever since.  I don’t exactly keep up with what is going on in the world, let alone Toledo, so I was extremely excited when my friend Greg told me about Neil coming to town as part of the library’s Authors! Authors! talking series.  There have only been a couple authors I would have loved to see as part of this series in the past, but missed out because I didn’t know about it until after the event.  So thanks to Greg I knew about this one ahead of time for a change.

Most people probably grab their camera when going to an event like this, but I brought along my iRiver and Giant Squid Mics.  Sometimes my recordings turn out great, and sometimes they turn out terrible.  This one surprised me by turning out pretty decent so I figured I’d share it here on my blog.  There were signs forbidding photography and video, but not audio recording.  So hopefully I won’t get any nasty cease and desist letters from anyone involved.  He reads a bit from his Newbery Award winning novel The Graveyard Book, and answers questions from the audience.

Recorded live at the Stranahan Theater in Toledo, OH on October 5th, 2009 as part of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library’s Authors! Authors! series of talks.  Enjoy an evening with Neil Gaiman.
