Small Beer Podcast 5: Three Messages and a Warning | It turns out the gestation period for this podcast is somewhere between that of a lion and a wolf. At the beginning of November, Michael J. DeLuca, Gavin and I recorded the first ever Small Beer beer tasting. Then we recorded two, yes two, stories from our latest anthology Three Messages and a Warning, a collection of the Mexican fantastic. This podcast was something akin to a seventies concept album, think The Allen Parsons Project or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. I seem to remember a intense discussion with the proprietor of the fabulous craft beer store, Tru Beer, in Easthampton, Massachusetts. A rapid convert, he donated a few beers to the cause. From Bread Euphoria, we acquired Day of the Dead bread. And then, like so many concept albums, the production requirements along with the obligatory aviator sunglasses and hair mousse almost brought the entire project to a screeching halt. We are absolutely thrilled we've finally got our act together enough to finish this particular podcast. Episode 5: Julie Day, Gavin Grant, Michael J. DeLuca and Three Messages and a Warning.

Small Beer Podcast 4: Benjamin Parzybok’s Couch | Fiction. We love it. And this week’s Small Beer podcast is over thirty minutes of nothing but imagined words. Benjamin Parzybok’s Couch is damned funny. Well, his novel Couch is anyway. To celebrate the release of the audiobook version of Couch, we're running an excerpt in this week’s podcast. Don’t worry. Though we hope you’ll love it as we do and want to hear more, this section of the novel was actually published as a stand-alone story in the journal Eleven Eleven. In fact, while I was editing this podcast, my family gathered around my computer to listen in. Yes, sometimes it can be strange days at the Day-Davidson household. Ben and his wife, the artist Laura Moulton, are both quite fascinating people. You can check out Ben's various art projects at ideacog.net. Laura is behind the amazing streetbooks.org — a bicycle-powered mobile library in Portland, Oregon, serving people who live outside. Episode 4: An excerpt from Benjamin Parzybok’s novel Couch. The audiobook is available for purchase at iambik.com. Subscribe to the Small Beer podcast in iTunes or using the service of your choice: | 11/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Small Beer Podcast 3: Michael J. DeLuca, Head Brewer and CTO | I’m thrilled to be back from wilds of Western Connecticut where I was billeted after the recent Nor’easter. Small Beer headquarters feels like a book-filled Shangri-La. I can’t believe I’ve returned. In Episode Three of our Small Beer podcast, Michael J. DeLuca and I talk about yarrow-infused beer, medieval brewing, his fiction and why Small Beer’s ebook portal, Weightless Books, is a bibliophile’s dream. Not content to leave it at that, in part two of the podcast Michael reads "The Hour of the Fireflies" by Karen Chacek. It’s part of our upcoming Three Messages and a Warning anthology and I don’t know how you couldn’t love it. It comes out in December. Episode 3: Michael J. DeLuca, Head Brewer and CTO along with Julie Day and Three Messages and a Warning. Oh, and if you’d like, go listen to Michael’s story, "The Eater," on Pseudopod.

Small Beer Podcast 2: In Which Julie Reads a Story by J. M. McDermott | Who doesn’t love Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet? I shipped issue number twenty-six on my very first day here at Small Beer. In honor of that moment, and of all the damn good fiction inside, this week’s podcast is a story taken from that issue, “Death’s Shed” by J.M. McDermott. Episode 2: Death’s Shed by J.M. McDermott as read by Julie Day of Small Beer Press. Tune back in next week as Mike DeLuca and Julie Day discuss Weightless Books, Mexican speculative fiction and Mike’s home-brewing techniques.
