By Sam Kirkman: This Month with everyone busy with the holidays and family, I decided to put together a shorter cast with excerpts from a couple of interviews from 2009. Some of you may have already listened to the full interviews with Stephen Silver and Mark McDonnell posted to the VSS web site.

I wanted to emphasize in our 4th episode the importance of accomplishing our goals and not just dreaming about it. JUST DO IT seemed to fit the bill and These two artists really know how to “Get er Done!” as they say.

We hope that you enjoy the pondcast for December and look forward to finding something great to bring to you for January. 2012 Here we come!

By Sam Kirkman: In this episode of the illopond.com PONDcast I had a great discussion with fellow ponder Lee Wiley. I’m glad to have him on the show, not only because his project is really cool, but also, his is an example of how being involved in a project on the illopond can lead to bigger and better things.

On this episode of the pond cast, Sam speaks with Charlotte Cheng, Denver Wagner, and Michelle Kondrich about their experience in preparation for, and in retrospect after the Alternative Press Exposition in San Francisco. This was the first time for members of the illopond to actually table together. They had a BLAST! There is so much to learn and much to take away from jumping in and doing it!

Sam also speaks with Jenni Gregory of Ka-Blam!  about their end of the process, the actual production of the books we creators wish to get into the hands of the public. and Jenni & Sam also plug a Kick-starter campaign to promote a worthy project which was set up to pay the creators for their contributions to the first Dreamwalker Press project; Dark Mischief an Anthology of spooky stories. Barry was unable to join us, having much on his plate to get our books to us, but we think you will enjoy the conversations and insight on the printing end of the business.
