I actually found Earthcore on Podiobooks.com. I had just gotten my ipod (in March) and I found podiobooks.com when I was researching getting my pod. I was super excited and I subscribed to a whole slew of podiobooks. I then had to make a trip to Louisiana (I live in ohio) and so on my long trip, I picked this book from the list of podcasts on my ipod.... and the rest is history. I've listened to all his books and as much of his short fiction as I could find. Love IT!

The first podcast novel I started listening to was...um......7th Son *ducks to avoid the objects being thrown at him*.
On Hutch's website I found a link to scottsigler.net, and caught a promo to 'Infection' in the show. So I checked it out, and now I'm HOOKED! After getting caught up on 'Infection,' I went back and listened to 'Earthcore' and 'Ancestor' back to back...it was almost too much to absorb but I did it, damn it. :P

I first heard about it from one of the presenters on The Signal podcast (http://www.serenityfirefly.com). Listened my way through Earthcore and Ancestor from podiobooks, then caught up with Infection while it was live. Loved the Rookie too :)
Earthcore and Ancestor now also grace my bookshelf.

I'm pretty sure that I heard about Siggie on CC Chapman's Accident Hash first. There or on Michael and Evo's Wingin' It, when that show was still being distributed.
I just remember that whoever I heard it from had this manic edge to his voice. "YOU HAVE GOT TO LISTEN TO THIS!" So, I did. There was NO turning back at that point.

Don't remember if it was comment in show notes or a story as both have happened. I think it was Episode 1 of Pseudopod which was Bag Man, but it could have been mentioned on Escape Pod that I heard it first.

#1 Contender for the heavyweight title.Vera Nazarian sold "Mount Dragon" to _Escape Pod_ and told us about it, thus introducing me to podcasting and the wonder of having SFF to listen to on long, cross-country drives. _Escape Pod_ led me to Mur Lafferty and _I Should Be Writing,_ whereon she interviewed Scott, who either was finishing up _EarthCore_ at the time or had just finished it. I thought, Let's see...no iPod, but at 45 minutes an episode this'll fit on a CD, and hokey smokes, I can AFFORD this! So I downloaded _EarthCore_ from podiobooks.com, and the rest is a tragic tale of dissipation, substance abuse, and wasted youth.

I lived in the Bajio region of Mexico - Morelia, Irapuato, Leon and our home, Cueramaro - for two very happy years. When I would travel by bus between the cities where I was working and living, I started listening to podcasts. I came across PodioBooks and from there, found Scott's work and many others.
It has been a great ride, even if I'm not taking the bus as much anymore! And I am always looking forward to more....

My friend elmofromok suggested Earthcore and 7th Son to me when I was looking for something to listen to while I made the long drive to help my parents while my dad was in the hospital. I liked the sound of Earthcore's premise better, so I fired it up when I got on the road. I was so into the story that I don't remember the 4 hours between Oklahoma City and Dallas. That was the easiest that drive has ever been.

I decided to give podiobooks a try, and started with the most popular one that they had at the time, Earthcore. Well, I think everyone knows how the story goes from there, I got hooked and started scouring the net after that for every last Sigler story I could find.
When Drew first started talking about Earthcore, I looked it up and was hooked ever since.
I forget. That was such a long time ago. I was still going to U of A.
I learned of Scott Sigler this spring through Scepitcality. They had an interview with him just before the Ancestor release. Yes I know I am a late comer, blame it on being late to podcasting in general I would have converted to Siglerism much sooner hand I found podcasts sooner.
In what I now know to be typical Junkie style I went out and emailed him over an error in the Ancestor PDF. He seriously pissed me off saying that the sun was coming up at 5:30am in November on BAFFIN F**^^*ing Island. I work the the north its dark at 7am now, and I don't thing there is any place in Canada where the sun is up at 5:30am in November.
I did not get in to his podcasts for a few months after that, I think I was running low and he came up on an other podcast so I gave him a shot. I was listing to Earth Core, infection and The Rookie all at once, after I had finished with Ancester. I think it might have been one of Mur Lafferty's podcasts that lead me to Silger the second time.
Way back in the day, before Earthcore episode 1! In fact, I'm in the Acknowledgments! I am an OAOJ (Old-Ass Original Junkie), baby!
I teach a Firefly class and you don't!
Along my eternal quest for free audiobooks and such, Lifehacker.com (badass site) lead me to podiobooks.com which was great, the giant bloody blade on the cover of earthcore was shiny and caught my attention, as well as the 7th Son clone revenge story, so I decided to go back and forth between Sigler and Hutchins, Earthcore, 7S: Descent, Ancestor, 7S: deceit, and then I finished up all of Scotts stories... Yipee!
Knowing that they have links to some of my favourite sites, like podiobooks.com, makes me a bit more willing to head over there. So many good podiobooks...
