How did you find Scott Sigler's work?

I happened upon podcast for Nocturnal by chance. I had no idea what I was getting into. I subscribed back in Jan, but didn't begin listening to it on my zune until March 24th. I listened during work to 17 episodes in 2 days. (Pissed of quite a few coworkers in the process) Now I know what an addict must feel like! I find myself fiending for my next fix! Nice to know that good, quality sh!t is still available. Was a Stephen King fan for years, but he's been bumped. I'll be starting either the Rookie, Earthcore or Ancestor this week, so that I can keep the pangs of withdrawl away while I wait until next weeks Nocturnal episode! I may od on this sh!t! Awesome story and unparalleled characters (Pookie? Mr. Biz-nass? pure genius!) combined with a sense of humor.. what more can you ask for?

Can't wait until April 1, but not sure what I'll do on 4/2, after I finish INFECTED! Just missed the deadline for the OJ boat, but better late than never!

I had subscribed to the Skepticality podcast a few months ago, and was working through back episodes when i heard an interview with Sigler about the Ancestor release and free PDF stunt. I was intrigued, and started listening to Earthcore. My life is now, of course, no longer my own. [I think, therefore I'm right. -Hugo Rune]

Way back when Earthcore came out (I thinks Scott had two episodes in the can at the time and had unleashed them).

Things have never been the same since!!

I started downloading only a few episode sinto Earthcore (or Earthgore as my wife refers to it). I saved up the episodes as I do now until I had the whole book, then an OD attempt as I listened to it. I think Michael and Evo pushed me over that way. On a clear disk, you can seek forever.

Everyone in the podcasting world was pimping the free PDF of Ancestor. I figured 20,000 podcasters couldn't be wrong. I was Sigler's junkie bitch within pages.
I've spent my hard earned coin on Sigler's creative product and will for years to come. Tasty crack dontchaknow.

I found his work to be moist and tasty although Purists tend to be a bit salty at first. I say skip them and go straight for Marie's children. They have an interesting undercurrent of lemon and sage.

I met Scott at Dragon*Con 2006, Evo Terra told me that we had to have him on Skepticality, since Scott tries to make all of his horror 'real'. And he touts himself as a Skeptical author, and doesn't use woo-woo to make his stuff scary. Since then, I have not only enjoyed his books, I helped with the Science advising on Infection... Infested, or whatever they made him change the name to! :)

I've never actually liked listening to books. But my mom does and she came across Scott's free podcasts and listened to them while she walked the dog. While I don't really believe she is a junkie she did say I should try listening to them cause I'd like them. I brushed her off but was slightly intrigued and just had to listen to one. Haven't stopped listening since. Though I haven't made it very far. Still catching up on Nocturnal (almost there!), and haven't listened to the others. But I've put a bunch on my iPod so...

DJ AJ's podcast page had a link to Earthcore's podcast page. It

was episode 10 and I downloaded all them and discovered

Earthcrack. but they've all been right on time. Amazing how

Sigler does that.

There was some article on the USA Today, like 3 years ago maybe? Anyways, they had an article in it and I think it mentioned Adam Curry and some other podcasts like CC Chapman. On CC's site, he had a list of other podcasts on the right hand side and Earthcore was on there. I started to listen to it and was hooked. When I started to listen, it was episode 6 or seven. It was so long ago I forget!

I was listening to the podcast 7th Son Book One late summer last year -when I heard the promo for Sigler.

I was hooked after one episode.

Been so long now, don't remember for sure. Pretty sure it was listening to Adam Curry back when podcasting first started out. Wow 3 years sure flys by...

Keep up the great work Scott, you get better with every book. I thought The Rookie would be my favorite, but Nocturnal's really close to passing it.

I been with Scott ever since the first episode of Earthcore, I think I heard about him on another podcast maybe Slice of Scifi not really sure because I listen to way too many Podcasts. But Scott had me with his very first. One day maybe I'll meet him in person.

After getting my fist iPod in late 2006, one of the first things I did was go to iTunes and purchase the Tale of Two Cites by Charles Dickens ($30). It took a few weeks for me to finish that tale but when I was finished I thought there had to be a less expensive way to do this, so I went on an internet search. One of my search terms was Charles Dickens and Audio books which led me to a review of Scott’s work in which Scott’s serialized podcasts were compared to the serialized print distribution Charles’s Dickens used to initially reach his audience.

So, I guess I found Scott by searching for Charles Dickens audio books – Really, that is how it happened!

I used to listen to Live 365 internet broadcasting, there were lots of sites with old radio horror and scifi, but after moving to Oregon in 2005 I found several places and sites with original content for sci fi and Horror ,thru those I found Brave Men Run and Earthcore, and then I really became hooked on all the stuff Scott does. I am amazed how audio book podcasts have grown since 2005. I cannot keep up with all the stuff I want to hear....but Sigler's stuff is always my first choice.

MidApril, I was running in BJs to pick up diapers and I paused @ the book table and saw INFECTED. I only had enough cash for the diapers so I accosted a worker for his permenant marker and wrote INFECTED//SCOTT SIGLER on the box.

A couple days later I sent my hub to buy the book and there were NO copies left!!! Crushed, I did a web search, came across his site and fell into line w/the worshipping masses.
