MIFV x But I Digress… | MIFV Interview Series: Daniel DiManna, Author of G-Cinema

Leave a comment

I have a couple of videos/livestreams from my YouTube channel that are overdue for some SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION here. They’re relevant to your interests.

Nathan sits down with his longtime friend and now first-time published author, Daniel DiManna, to discuss said first book: G-Cinema: An Exploration and Celebration of Japan’s Monster King. Danny is the creator and author of the ambitious Godzilla Novelization Project, but he’s also a frequent odcast guest, actor, and full-time goober, as he says. Join us for an exciting (and very nerdy) conversation!

Check out Nathan’s spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

I sit down with the multitalented Alyssa Charpentier, who wears enough proverbial hats to fill a warehouse. She’s a writer, a musician, a Navy sailor, a former Godzilla YouTuber, and hardcore nerd girl, among other things. We discuss her past and current creative projects, her best advice for aspiring writers, and more, including her serialized Godzilla fanfiction, Strange Flesh, which is exclusive to her Patreon page.

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!
