July 2009 – Media Tie-Ins
July 2009 – Media Tie-Ins (Legitimate Art or Simply Canon Fodder?)
As an avid reader of media tie-in books that's the show I'm most interested in.
I know it's about 3/4 of a year away, but do you have any idea yet who do you want as the guests?
Not Yet
It's one of those catagories where I could get any number of people. I might even be able to swing Lee Goldberg. I haven't thought about it yet. I've blocked out the episodes until February and am going to work out the next block at the end of November.
Of course, I would imagine Keith will be a host.
