World's first German podcast novel? EARTHCORE free in Deutsch
Posted June 29th, 2008 by scottsigler

German podcast of EARTHCORE
I'm not sure if this is the world's first German-language podcast novel, but I'm going to claim it is until someone corrects me. I'm modest like that. In fact, I'm going to get nutty and claim this is the first-ever non-English podcast novel! World Conquest continues unabated.
Richard Levy is an English Junkie (from Derbyshire) who now lives in Germany (Schorndorf) and took it upon himself to podcast EARTHCORE. He's using the German version of EARTHCORE, translated by Michael Krug and published by Otherworld Verlag (and available in hardcover by clicking here).
EARTHCORE is read by Torsten Fuchs, who is just fucking awesome. I don't understand a word he says (except a strange reference to "struedel") but I could listen to him all day. I cue up the episodes and let them run in the background while I write. Music is provided by the band Gebrueder-Roehrich. Rock on, mein freund!
I think this is pretty kick-ass. If you have German-speaking friends, please turn them on to this podcast. Richard is busting his buns to produce this bad boy, so if you know some people lets get them listening in. And, of course, it's free.
You see...

Infected in UK shops - NOW!
The UK edition of Infected is in shops right now!
The official release date may be the 10th, but there was a prominent stack of paperbacks in my local Waterstones bookshop at lunchtime today.
It was featured in the 3 for 2 promotion in store - which means the publisher must be puting some marketing muscle behind the launch. I believe that these promotions are subsidised by the publisher in order to get a featured spot on the shelves.
Yes - of course I bought a copy! All hail the Future Dark Overlord!
Thanks!
Spanish
Hey Scott,
When are we going to get it in Spanish????? At least I could pick out a few words from that but it would probably help me learn spanish. Lots of spanish speaking people in the states!!!
