One of the things that has been different with this whole podcast experience is the access and availability of our Author Mur. She has given us a direct email, groups on Facebook, a phone number to call with our comments.I can't imagine a author like Stephen King or Tom Clancy just saying hey, here's a phone number to chat, or just email me something.
Is it because a podauthor is not so removed from their audience?
Do they realize that the next meal of shells and cheese flavoring, and the disconnection of the power is so much closer than those other authors?
Sure they have their problems too, which car to drive to Sundance™ or why their maid just never seems to keep enough cheese slices unwrapped for them?
Technology today has allowed many people to create and distribute their work, (even I can put out my two cents) rather than going through the big machine.
The biggest access that she has given is -her work.
Mur gives us the benefit of enjoying her work, and then asks that if you enjoyed it, tell your friends; and if you can-you could kick a few bucks her way.
As bad as a comparison this is- she is not unlike a street performer.
Gypsy Mur dances, and shakes her tambourines, clangs her bell and puts on a good show. Then at the end, a hat is passed to recieve some appreciation from the group who was entertained.
Most give, and with this Mur can keep going with her craft. We enjoy the show-don't forget to drop some coins in the hat...
Today's Third Wave - We have Serge who's powers provide in him the ability of a Gourmand. This allows him the expertise and knowledge in knowing how to best match foods, wine and alcohol to give the diner an exotic taste experience .
Similar to Collette's power at Keepsie's bar - but different in the way that he does in a broader sense and bases it with junk food.
His power allows him to know that it is best to have a '68 Merlot with a Super Mack burger, a side of onion rings and, dill dipping sauce.
For desert he would recommend that you have the hot apple turn over, topped with jalapeno ice cream and a nice slice of Colby cheddar.
