The Podcaster’s Roundtable: That’s me, mixin’ with the swells!
Ray Ortega organized this roundtable of podcast experts (and me, too.) When I didn’t know anything useful, I made jokes. It was a lot of fun. Interesting people talking about haters, trolls, legitimate reviews and negative feedback.
Me? I’m only interested in building a cultish army. I explain in the video.
Armor of God
I go on the attack against Maury “He ain’t yo baby daddy” Povich and Dr. “Down home wise ass remarks” Phil. Also, a quick update on projects, including This Plague of Days and Cool People Podcast.
Then we delve into the world of my Cuban assassin and all he’s dealing with in the chapter Armor of God, my latest reading from my crime novel, Higher Than Jesus. Jesus Diaz is caught in the middle of an arms deal and in the crosshairs of Aryans and Chicago street gang. While tragic childhood memories begin to surface, Jesus really just wants to get Willow Clemont in the sack. And who can blame him? She’s a long, blonde glamazon.

One of my many projects: Cool People
Have you checked out the Cool People Podcast yet?
In Episode 9, I got in deep with Chicago lawyer and foreign policy lecturer Shermin Kruse. We talked about the Tea Party, scandals that are and are not scandals, what the media isn’t telling you and how to fix it through art, music, love and connection.
No time for all that video? This interview is available as a podcast on iTunes or Stitcher or from CoolPeoplePodcast.com so you can hear it on the treadmill or take it on the subway to work. Check it out at CoolPeoplePodcast.com.

Update
I used the Cool People Podcast graphic for this episode of All that Chazz! Darn! Oh, well. I’ll leave it as cross-promotion for www.CoolPeoplePodcast.com. Problem solved! Also, this is episode 76 of the podcast, not #75. This headache has taken over my brain.

Act Fast! Get Murders Among Dead Trees #FREE
I finally met comedian Mike Schmidt!
I put a couple of fun hat tips to comedian Mike Schmidt in Higher Than Jesus and sent him a copy. Then he made fun of me on his podcast for not sending him the first in the series Bigger Than Jesus, too (and generously plugged both books, website and my podcast). Last night, he finally got his copy of Bigger Than Jesus. Sadly, I couldn’t stay to hang out after the show for long, but next time, for sure!
It was a great evening and a very happy mother’s day present for She Who Must Be Obeyed. Despite appearances, I am not drunk. Just very happy to finally meet Mike in person.
Get great storytelling and a lot of laughs arrived at through genius free association interspersed with rock and roll lyrics from Mike’s podcast at MikeSchmidtComedy.com.
