| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. Today's bonus content is an interview that Zach and I did with author Tal M. Klein. |
| 0:08.4 | His sci-fi novel, The Punch Escrow, was released on July 25th, and when we spoke to him on July 8th, |
| 0:17.4 | the film rights had already sold to Lionsgate. So pretty cool interview we got to do. |
| 0:23.2 | If you've found your way here because you are a Tal Klein fan, welcome. We are very glad to have you, |
| 0:29.5 | and we hope you enjoy the conversation, but you should know that this is not what our show is |
| 0:34.3 | typically like. We do interview authors every once in a while, but primarily |
| 0:39.8 | we are a fantasy audio drama about three high school kids from modern-day Pennsylvania, |
| 0:46.2 | who are transported to a magical realm embroiled in civil war. So if that sounds cool to you, |
| 0:52.8 | we encourage you to check out our main feed. Do start at the |
| 0:56.6 | beginning with The Prince of Yordan. It is all one continuous serialized story, and we would |
| 1:04.1 | love to have you give it a shot. Full disclosure, TALS publisher Inc. Shares sent us free review |
| 1:10.6 | copies of the Punch Esckro. They do that |
| 1:13.3 | with their books from time to time, but we reached out to TAL about an interview because we did |
| 1:18.5 | genuinely enjoy this book, and we haven't been compensated by Inchairs in any other way. But, |
| 1:25.3 | since we do have a few copies of the book, we are going to be giving them |
| 1:29.4 | away. Some will go to people who submitted questions for our upcoming Ask the Once in Future |
| 1:35.1 | Nerd episode, just like we did last time. But if you want another chance to win a book, you can tweet |
| 1:40.8 | about us and or tell. Make sure you use both the hashtags T-O-A-F-N and get punched. |
| 1:48.9 | That is hashtag T-O-A-F-N and hashtag get punched together, and we'll do like a raffle thing for people |
| 1:57.3 | who post in those tags. Speaking of Ask the Once in Future Nerd, if you haven't heard the news by now, we did hit |
| 2:04.7 | our reach goal on Patreon. |
| 2:06.5 | We are thrilled and flattered by that, and we want to thank you all so, so, so much. |
