Join host Adrian M. Gibson and author/podcaster Jed Herne for a chat about his new epic fantasy interactive fiction game Siege of Treboulain, his previous novels, the challenges (and benefits) of writing an interactive fiction game versus a novel, how he got started in podcasting, the beginnings of Wizards, Warriors & Words and what his hopes are for the podcast's future, finding a good creative/life balance and much more. This interview is also a companion to a live playthrough of Siege of Treboulain, where Adrian and fellow FanFiAddict bloggers Tori Gross and Connor M. Caplan played the beginning of the game with Jed. Check that out on the podcast feed or on YouTube.
