The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #44: Zen

The Thirteenth Hour Podcast ·

2016/06/13

Originally aired on June 13, 2016. Today's podcast is all about Zen. Zen, a philosophy that carries much ado and marketing buzz, really can be summed up in one simple idea - being present right where you are now. It's obviously easier said than done, but certain activities naturally lend themselves to discovering this state of no-mind easier than others, martial arts being one such avenue. George Lucas incorporated these ideas into the character of Yoda (essentially a Zen master in a

Originally released on June 6, 2016. In this week's episode, fantasy author Missy Sheldrake joins the show, so fairy tale fans, authors, and illustrators sit back, relax, and enjoy the one hour plus show! Missy is unique in that she's one of the few authors out there who also creates her own covers (see them below) and illustrates her novels. You'll find out more in the podcast, but early elements of the series actually came from the Game Dark Age of Camelot. (Missy definitely got her

2016/05/30

Originally aired on May 30, 2016. Today's episode is about a song that I originally started started writing as a part of a chapter in The Thirteenth Hour. Finally got around to finishing it. It's a bit of a folk song. Here's the passage that talks about it: Then she looked up at me, through reddened eyes, and I struggled to say, “I thought I would never see you again ... I'm so glad I found you.” She nodded, and I wiped her tear–streaked ashen face with my sleeve, trying to

Episode #41: Pocketknives, More Knife Throwing, and EDC

2016/05/23

Originally released on May 23, 2016. Today's episode is all about gadgets people carry in their pockets (or in bags), though it mostly focuses on pocketknives. Those of who who've watched Angus Macgyver at work know he can do pretty much anything with a Swiss Army knife and a paperclip, so these things are handy to have. Two of the covers of the Great Brain books written by John D. Fitzgerald. There are 5 others (plus one published from the author's notes after his death). I do

Originally released on Mqay 16, 2016. Last week's episode on the influence of gymnastics on the writing of The Thirteenth Hour leads to today's episode which focuses more on martial arts. Although I've alluded to other martial activities on this blog and in the podcast before (like archery and knife throwing), I figured it was time to devote more time to martial arts itself. My experience since I was about 13 was with Eastern martial arts, so I borrowed elements of those arts in the

Originally released on May 9, 2016. Today's episode is all about flipping! Although it's pretty common to see acrobatics on TV and in video games today, at the time The Thirteenth Hour was written (1998), the whole extreme martial arts tricking community was still in its infancy, and it hadn't really permeated popular culture to quite the same degree yet. There were a few exceptions - video games like Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Tomb Raider (plus its many clones) that came

Originally released on April 25, 2016 Before we get to the podcast today, a note on Prince's passing. It took me three tries of recording the intro to not sound totally down in the dumps, so I apologize in advance if I sound more sedate. * I refer to interviews Prince did in the podcast - they were rare, but you can find some on youtube. This is part of a thoughtful interview where he talks about mentorship, having high standards held to you, and the value of persistence. Good talk! Prince

It was a fun conversation and a chance to talk about all kinds of things related to fantasy, writing, and the like.

Here's a little dose of morning 80s inspiration: https://youtu.be/BSf5tx4e_PA The Last Starfighter main
