• Oh Key & Peele — how we <3 you!
• Possibly the shortest introduction section ever!
• We’re looking back in this episode….

• What happens when you decide “I don’t want to give it away.” when you have been doing fiction for free?
• The big question: Why did you give it away?
• Tee looks back to 2004 and 2005 when Tee made the call to podcast MOREVI
• Looking back eight years, and now considering podcasting in 2013
  • The playing field in 2005.
  • Since our friend and podcasting juggernaut Scott Sigler, we have not seen a new “breakout” artist.
  • It’s no longer a “community” but a “market” and few of the OP’s (Original Podcasters) are featured or even listed prominently.
  • An honest assessment of the path of podcasting
• Why did Pip make the big jump into the podiosphere?
• Tee and Pip podcast because we love it, not because we’re planning to overthrow “traditional media” with this platform.
• Quick shout-out to The League of STEAM!
• Pip asks Tee the tough question: Is Tee disappointed in the evolution of podcasting fiction?
• The ROI of Podcasting
• Not only is the playing field changed, so has the audience.
• Giving your work away for free is not a contract with your audience. It’s a giveaway.
• The Market of Giving the Fiction Away for Free still works, if you approach it properly.
• Yes, it has worked for Scott, for Cory Doctorow, for John Scalzi…but…….
• Would I advise a new author if they want to give it away for free? (Tee might surprise you…)

29:05 — Seriously?! Seriously.

• Foreword Literary — our new agency!
• The Diamond Conspiracy (Book Four of the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences) is also underway…
