I’ll be part of a livestream this Friday at 7pm EST on the Omni Viewer’s YouTube channel where he, myself, and several other writers shoot the breeze about the art and craft of writing and take questions from the chat. Come be entertained and enlightened!

But I Digress…, Episode 50: Tales from Gen-Con 2024 | Ft. Eric Anderson of Nerd Chapel
NEW VIDEO: Omni Viewer x MIFV x But I Digress…: Writers Righting the Wrongs of Heisei Gamera Hot Takes
“But IDigress…” returns (again)!
This week, another YouTuber published a bad faith video full of kaiju hot takes. This time it was GSTE making unfounded criticisms of the masterful Heisei Gamera trilogy. Such a hot take requires the combined powers of Nathan Marchand and Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins to rebut it.
This video proved controversial after GSTE got wind of it and bombarded it with comments. See and read for yourself.
But I Digress…, Episode 47: Unboxing ‘A Time for Everything’ (NEW ANTHOLOGY!)
(I intended for this to be set as a premiere on YouTube, but it didn’t work. Oops).
I’ve been sitting on this video for a while now, and I finally got around to editing and uoploading it. In this, I unbox a new anthology from Onward and Upward Media, A Time for Everything, which is a collection of short stories to which I contributed. Each of the tales within is based on a line from Ecclesistes 3. I chose “a time to dance” because I’m a ballroom dancer in my spare time. Enjoy this fun little video!
Interviewed on the Christian Nerds Unite Podcast
Recently I was interviewed by Ricky Pope on the Christian Nerds Unite podcast with Scott Bayles. It pertained to The Fantastic 42: A Fellowship Facing Doom with Hope, the latest in the 42 devotional series. We both contributed to that book, and we go into a lot of detail in the interview about why we chose the characters we wrote about as well as the origin of this new book. This episode is available on YouTube and your favorite podcatcher. Check it out!
“But I Digress…” Returns–for Gen-Con 2021!
After the longest of hiatuses, my old YouTube show returns as a live show/YouTube shorts series! I relaunched it for Gen-Con 2021, doing daily recap streams with my friend and co-author Eric Anderson, the founder of Nerd Chapel, discussing what we did at the convention and how our book sales went each day. Check out the playlist below!
I was Interviewed by Kaiju Kim about Kaiju Literature!
This past Sunday, I was interviewed by Kaiju Kim, who makes the most wholesome kaiju content you’ll see on YouTube. It was Father’s Day, so the chat was relatively quiet, but we still had a good time discussing kaiju literature–including books and short stories I’ve written and published myself. Give it a watch!
My Gen-Con Online Panels
Yeah, yeah, I know I should be making more content on my website. I’m working on it. Regardless, here are videos of my presentations for Gen-Con Online last month.
This first video is…not great. I had lots of technical issues, as you’ll see. However, I do think I’ll remake this in anotehr video.
With this one, I figured out the problems and it went much better. If you want to start a podcast, you’ll benefit from watching this!
Even More Episodes (Ep. 18-22) of my Podcast!
I should be writing proper blogs, I know, but in the meantime, here are more episodes of my podcast, The Monster Island Film Vault. Episode 20 in particular I think is the best one I’ve done so far. Enjoy!
More Episodes of My Podcast
I owe all of you a real blog, especially since I fell off of my “journal of the plague fortnight” wagon.
In the meantime, here are the episodes of my podcast I haven’t posted here.
