The information here doesn’t specifically lend itself to film, but it’s such an amazing and interesting interview that does have ramifications in all of fiction and creators rights.
We hope you enjoy listening to this discussion as much as we enjoyed recording it.

In this episode, special guest Paul Maki joins me to chat about his serial fiction podcast Really Big Things.
The audio is a bit dicey and this was the first time I recorded via Skype. It’s not horrible, but there are a few noticeable points where Skype cut out. I left them as they were, as it would have been a royal pain to do even more editing for only a second or two of inconvenience.
More detailed notes to follow.

Yes… You read the length correctly.
This is another first for us here. We’ve got a special guest from half a continent away. The man, the myth, the pimp… Tee Morris.
Tee joins me for a chat about his new podiobook, “Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword”.
From there we talk about “24” and Tee’s Evo Terra-esque “Wash Dies!” moment during the four hour finale. (Note to Tee: Beware the chicken scissors.) We talk about podiobooks, Van Helsing, Metropolis, 24, Daredevil, The Hulk, Pirates, The Davinci Code, and kids on podcasts.
You can find everything Tee at www.teemorris.com. You can subscribe to Billibub at www.teemorris.com/billipodcast/

This is something a bit different for the Smackdown.
Friend of the Fanboy Smackdown, premier podiobook author, and all around pimp, Tee Morris is just about to release his next podcast audiobook (podiobook) ‘Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword’.
He has given us permission to release this first chapter to you guys. This is a full month before the official release of the podcast on February 14th, 2007. I’ve given this a listen and can say that I’m excited to hear the rest of what Tee has in store for the dwarf detective.
Yeah, you read that right. This is a book that erases the lines of genre and sets up some fun characters to tell, what looks to be, a fun story. Not only is the story shaping up nicely, but Tee has enlisted a Who’s Who list of podcasting talent to round out the cast… though oddly I didn’t notice anyone named Tony in that list… He has also hooked up with some incredible musicians. This podcast novel is shaping up to be an audio feast.
Take a listen, let us know what you think here and let Tee know what you think as well. And if you happen to think of it, let him know where you heard about Billi. If we get some good response, maybe we can even get Tee to come on and chat about some movies and the book for us on the show!
More from us soon, we are just finishing our holiday break and recovering from over indulging in all of the joyous festivities and spirits of the season.
For more information on Tee Morris check out his website: www.teemorris.com. Also, check out Baddings Investigations, Inc. – The official blog of the book: www.teemorris.com/billipodcast/
