New and Improved Ninjas
So, what do you think of the new look? It’ll take some time to add in the appropriate thumbnails for older posts and shows, but eventually we’ll get there. Read More →
More KAMN Coming
As promised last fall, my old reviews from before I joined Dragon Page will be reposted here shortly. I couldn’t decide if it would be better to repost them with the original dates (thus dating them before KAMN existed), or just post them new, with a tagline saying when they were originally done. Brian liked the posting them new idea, so that won out. I’ll be reposting those reviews here... [Read More...]
Asimov, Foundation and more
We’ve had a lot of requests during the time we’ve been doing this to do a show on “Foundation.” A lot of requests. I haven’t put it on the schedule yet, simply because of how much work I’ve been doing lately, but for some reason I kept getting hints and reminders about Foundation over the past 2 months. Last night, I experienced another hint. I went to a new store... [Read More...]
The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy
“The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy” is a series of tips, tricks and helpful hints for fantasy writers from Dragon Moon Press. Volume 3 in this series is “The Author’s Grimoire”, and it’s coming out in September. It’s been delayed for quite some time, but it’s going to hit the shelves at last. What’s so important about a brand new book about... [Read More...]
Back in the Saddle
The Ninjas are returning, very soon now, with a pretty cool episode about Colossus: The Forbin Project, the 1970 film starring Eric Braeden. Also, we’ve got a slight change in the lineup for upcoming shows: Show #30: Galactic Patrol by E. E. “Doc” Smith Show #31: Poltergeist (1982) Show #32: War for the Oaks by Emma Bull Show #33: Quantum Leap (1989-93) As always, you can check out... [Read More...]

Show #25: Schedule Change
Show #25 will be both postponed and changed. Originally, we were going to talk about “Far-Seer” by Robert J. Sawyer, and since that book was a Joe selection, I really didn’t want to do this topic without his involvement. But he’s taking a Ninjas sabbatical until Kuato is taken care of, so “Far-Seer” is being put back on the shelf. Instead, Show #25 will go out... [Read More...]
Another Ninja guest spot
Yet another sighting. Into the Dark, a podcast brought to us by H. R. Tucker and the Computer King, features Summer in the latest episode. A discussion of Santa’s “inherent evil”, and a Computer King Arena smackdown with Summer Ninja vs The Reigning Shogun of Taiwan. Also, there were FarPoint Media casualties in his previous episode, Mur vs Michael. Sit, Drink, then Fight. Read More →
The Lensman series
Dave loves the Lensman series. He’s wanted to do that series ever since we started this show. So, should the Lensman series be read in publication order: Galactic Patrol Gray Lensman Second Stage Lensmen Children of the Lens Triplanetary First Lensman or in the “chronological” story sequence order: Triplanetary First Lensman Galactic Patrol Gray Lensman Second Stage Lensmen Children...

Show Discussions open
Those of you who’ve been around since we started this show know that I’d implemented a plugin that automatically closed the comments form after 4-5 weeks, basically to save me from having to clean up as much comment spam. With the newer and better comment spam filters out there, I’d been thinking about removing that plugin and opening up the comments for the older posts, since new... [Read More...]
Feedback Poll 1
First, I know that between June and September, our schedule wasn’t the most consistent it could have been. I’m hoping to fix that a little bit. Based on our combined increase in workload, we’re going to change things up a little bit. Instead of Ninjas every other week (or as close to it as I can get), I’m going to change the show to twice monthly, on the 15th and 30th of the... [Read More...]
Ninja Traveling
Well, I’m about to head to the airport to catch a flight to Austin TX for World Fantasy Con. I wanted to get Show #20 out before I left, so now you know why it went out at 4am. Sorry again about the audio… based on the quality of the voicemail segment, which was recorded later, I think I have the problem worked out finally. I’ll do some more testing before we actually record next... [Read More...]
Ninja go Boing
Dave Moldawer’s own podcast, The Morning Brew, has been subjected to the BoingBoing. Yay Dave! Go check it out, and go listen to the podcast as well. Read More →
iTunes links
Some people might have had a few issues last week with the iTunes subscription to KAMN. The store folks were fixing a slight problem that prevented KAMN from being added to the FarPoint Media store page. I was told that the link would be changed, but the iTunes ID seems to be the same. If anyone is still having problems, here’s the iTunes link to use. And yes, there really is an artist’s... [Read More...]
Ninjas Update
Yeah, I know. This past summer has been a little hectic, and the shows have suffered because of it. That’s changing, and I’m wondering if we might not better off doing shows once a month during the summer months, given the heavy travel that’s expected of the denizens of FarPoint Media during the busy summer SF con season. Dragon*Con is this weekend, and along with how busy the podcasting... [Read More...]
