Radio Active #69: One Geeky Summer

by

Radio Active PodcastIt’s summer and that means it’s time to kick back and relax … if only I can remember how. In this episode of Radio Active I run down my summer plans, including a week in New England, trips to Mets and IronPigs baseball games and adventures in home improvement.

I also rundown my summer reading list for 2008, including John Scalzi’s The Last Colony, Neil Stephenson’s Quicksilver, Ursula Le Guin’s The Lathe of Heaven, and Robert E. Howard’s The Bloody Crown of Conan.
