I hope you’re interested in listening to us talk about ourselves for an hour, because we’re totally about to do it. Why? Because SPRT is celebrating it’s SPRTiversary.
That’s right, amazingly enough this podcast made it to its first birthday. We’re going to celebrate by reminiscing about the past, getting nostalgic over our favorite moments, and telling some stories about what we’ve learned over the past year.
When we’re done navel gazing, we might even give out some prizes to our loyal listeners (yes, we actually have some). So come for the train wreck and stick around for the prizes.
While you’re waiting for the show to begin, check out our latest blog interview: http://selfpublishingroundtable.com/interview-with-author-sarah-woodbury/
Happy birthday! And great interview, Kevin.
Looking forward to just hanging out with a bunch of friends in a hour. Everyone is invited to the party!
It’s America’s birthday tomorrow, which means one thing–time to light some firecrackers in my butt and shoot guns straight up into the air. What could go wrong with that?
I think the prize for the best haircut should go to David Wright…even though he ran away.
Everyone state side, what are you doing for the holiday tomorrow?
writerwade Always the first and most annoying………we’ll be watching fireworks at grandma’s!
Video is up if you refresh the page.
Aloha, and happy birthday to SPRT!

JThorn you and me both.
JThorn Leave it to a horror writer to think of something that terrifying.

Congratulations CRISSY!
Tell us about your favourite SPRT moment below here..
thedavidwwright
Carl Sinclair All of the moments. Vying for nicest listener prize now.
BatmanErica thedavidwwright Right?!
Carl Sinclair Your anti-pants rant. No question about it, that’s my favorite SPRT memory.
Carl Sinclair Honestly I love when Kevin joined and I was like “Whoooooo’s that?!” That’s when I was hooked.
Carl Sinclair No no, he was a guest first. That one. Jay’s drinking is getting to me.
michelleread Carl Sinclair GET IT ONNNN
Here you go, SPRT swag with women’s shirts now included: http://www.cafepress.com/zanyzombieshirts/11362281
kevinmichael3 Damn, that was fast. You rock.
JayChastain michelleread Carl Sinclair Jay’s drinking gets to everyone.
kevinmichael3 JayChastain michelleread Carl Sinclair True
You owe us that video, Carl!
kevinmichael3 No tankinis?
kevinmichael3 There really should be some with just the text in black and no colored backgrounds.
It’s not our fault men chose not to adopt tights and leggings in their acceptable wardrobes. Hee hee.
crissymoss kevinmichael3 stop being so picky. i’m in the middle of a podcast.
Extra points if you wear galaxy tights.
michelleread Thank you!
I’ve broken more PCs than Macs 😛
melissadonovan as you wish.
BatmanErica ditto.
BatmanErica Macs last forever
BatmanErica Me too. PCs suck.
Yay me!
JayChastain pretty much. One temporarily died but hubby fixed it (loose cable and new battery required) and we’re selling it. 4 years old and still very usable 😀
Yeah, Crissy keeps STP in line.
kevinmichael3 Excellent. I’ve rewarded you with a purchase.
melissadonovan I only started liking Macs after the Toshiba laptop I broke needed to go away to be fixed for a whole month and the alternative was an iBook (which lived for a very long time). The Toshiba came back, used it five minutes, pushed it away and asked if I could keep the iBook 😛
Just an informal poll, but everyone that wants Jay Chastain to start his own drinking and ranting podcast, insert your comment here
kevinmichael3 insert here
kevinmichael3 And he should call it “Insert Here”
kevinmichael3 I’d watch that. Shit, I’d co-host that 😉
BatmanErica melissadonovan I had a Dell and an HP and some other crap before that. Blue screen of death never happens on the Mac. They are worth every penny.
jlward kevinmichael3 Jay inserts it here.
JThorn kevinmichael3 I think we have a love match.
melissadonovan I think I’ve broken more Dells than anything else. Like pzzt…smoke…death.
kevinmichael3 JThorn Jay and his joose?
G’morning guys and happy anniversary 😀
JThorn kevinmichael3 sponsored by @TeamJoose
I’ll rock that swag at the sci-fi con.
kevinmichael3 Dave could show up sometime, he wouldn’t even have to drink to rant.
JThorn kevinmichael3 JOOSE is my love match. You are my soul mate. 😉
Hi ya’ll! Happy birthday! 🙂
That’s my other favorite moment–except it’s not a moment–just the presence of Spider-Man. He’s like the show mascot.
CristinHarber Thanks. We were just talking about you.
Demelza Carlton Hey Demelza!
jlward CristinHarber
SNORT-LAUGH!!! Proud moment.
I just watched my first BOU….wow.
It’s what I was watching before this started tonight.
michelleread my fave segment is ‘What’s up Dave’s Butt’
michelleread they’ve deleted the best ones, lol
BatmanErica michelleread Oh my. I haven’t seen that one. Of course, I started with “This is the worst one to watch at work.”
michelleread I’m so sorry.
SPRT swag now with yoga pants: http://www.cafepress.com/zanyzombieshirts/11362281
michelleread you’ll find it in many episodes of BoU. It’s where he gets ranty and loud 😛
kevinmichael3 Oh my god.
CristinHarber jlward Thanks for showing up buddy. I just tummy flipped!
I think they’re gonna cry!
*supplies michelleread with chocolate*
michelleread Watch episode 50. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard (Sean pulls a gun on his sister…)
PatrickStemp michelleread Oh my word!
Speaking of Dino Porn, where’s Xavier?
BatmanErica I was wondering the same thing……
It continued into that Sunday….
Carl Sinclair CristinHarber jlward My job here is done, you have embraced your inner romance reader
JayChastain how has your past week been after your Mimi intervention last week?
LOL … **Mimi Strong is not a licensed therapist!! Do not trust her with your brainstuffs.
JayChastain Docking.
BatmanErica JayChastain It’s been…………………..
JayChastain BatmanErica one week since you looked at me.
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin JayChastain I have used that term more than 5 times since I heard it… sadly…
michelleread JayChastain Cocked your head to the side and said “I’m angry”
I think the amaon soylent bag treadmill discuss was great.
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin JayChastain did you charge him?
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin Especially not when she’s writing zombie books.
Demelza Carlton Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin I like to mention zombies and then not write about them, apparently…. oh god i’m in so much trouble…
thedavidwwright it’s easier to get your credit card details than your phone stuffs 😛
Guess where Redacted is…
http://mythbuilders.com/
Carl Sinclair go build some myths people. geekery is afoot.
Carl Sinclair MB Ep 1 was awesome! Just saying.
Carl Sinclair Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin JayChastain ah, the memories.
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin Demelza Carlton What, you mean Crashers aren’t zombies? It wasn’t a zombie bordello? I’m crushed…
Carl Sinclair Have crushes on, Dave….not have sex with! (Fox Robin Hood)

Carl Sinclair 14
Carl Sinclair Bought a copy to help with launch day numbers. I might not read it though, because part of my sanity regiment is not reading sad stuff (hence the comedy I write). Great concept, though, and looks amazing!
JayChastain Chastain, get ready to edutain us with your ADD high
After-party:

Carl Sinclair If there’s room!
TuckerAuthor Carl Sinclair yes
Carl Sinclair It’s 7 already? Yeah I’m in! Finished my work for the day. It’s Corona time!!! mimistrongauthor@gmail.com

JayChastain it wasn’t framed as a question, see, there’s a colon *points below*
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin Carl Sinclair MIMI DRINKING…. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Oh… oops… I guess it happened again…. sorry… the announcement will have to happen next week.
Carl Sinclair THAT’S EVIL!!!

ZoeYorkWrites Carl Sinclair Sorry we had to do it as a throw back to episode 1 when that happened for real.
Carl Sinclair ZoeYorkWrites Nice.
Carl Sinclair My wife is freaking out over this
So how did you enjoy the party?
Carl Sinclair In my pants?
Thank you everyone! SPRT viewers rock.
Carl Sinclair Yep, newbie here but congrats on a year. Here’s to many more!
Carl Sinclair Here’s to at least another year, or 6 months, whatever you can manage 😉
All my best,
J.
Carl Sinclair Great show. It reminded me how much I miss the idle chatter even though the interviews are excellent.
I’m off to dinner and a holiday. Have a great weekend everyone.
After party hangout is full 🙁
ZoeYorkWrites michelleread JayChastain melissadonovan can you send me your mailing addresses to my email carlsinclairauthor@gmail.com and we’ll send out your prize.
Currently the afterparty is full, but if you wait 15 minutes to 30 minutes, some spots usually open up
BatmanErica We’ll have our own party!
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin sure
ZoeYorkWrites Carl Sinclair I sent an invite but it’s currently full I think. Someone might leave shortly.
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin anyone else interested?
BatmanErica Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin teehee. You start it, invite me and i’ll join. We can herd over to the other one later if it keeps going. mimistrongauthor@gmail.com
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin I tried earlier. Then just as you called me I clicked on the SPRT one by mistake and got in. My bad.
writerwade Thank you all for everything you do!
michelleread writerwade BBQ and fireworks instead of hot dogs I’m having salmon. Yum!
Mimi Strong aka Dalya Moon aka T Paulin Carl Sinclair It’s usually more than 1.
Dave is right, I would love a SPRT butt plug!
Missed the live show but watched the train wreck later 🙂 Congrats on the milestone, guys. Keep up the good work!
I’m probably in the minority of people who did like the news show version of SPRT, but newer, interview model is fun too, it’s just that not a lot of shows cover self publishing news whereas there are plenty of shows that interview authors.
Here’s to another year!
Did something change on the SPRT site? We used to be able to do a direct download of the mp3? Maybe I’m just experiencing a brain-fart and it is right in front of me…
OMG I’m so sorry I missed the live show. I’d been to a concert the night before in soul-crushing heat and humidity and was beat. Now I wish I’d muscled through it.
YES! Dave thinks I was better than Carl!
AriLessiers and as he often is, he was wrong.
Eric Guindon That’s true. We don’t really consider ours ‘interviews’ as much as focussing on a specific thing each person has done that is different or specifically successful outside of the box from everyone else and how other authors can adapt that to themselves. We don’t chat about their books etc as you know.
