Tomorrow at 12:03, Monster Librarian reviewer Wendy Zazo-Philllips and her husband Dinias will premiere the first episode of “Parental Advisory”, a podcast devoted to discussing science fiction, fantasy, and slightly scary movies parents can share with their kids. The podcast will be located at Bill Chete’s Horror Palace, a collection of podcasts mostly related to horror movies– so this is something a little different!
The time they’ll be talking about The Iron Giant and Lilo and Stitch— you can’t go wrong with giant robots from space and alien creatures bent on destruction, can you? Wendy did a short interview with me and Dylan as part of the episode, and I talked about some vaguely related books on… you guessed it, robots from outer space and alien creatures (some more bent on destruction than others). This episode doesn’t rate terribly high on the fear factor, but it was fun to do, and I hope you’ll check it out. You can find it at:

These are the books I included in my book talk, in case you’re interested. I sneaked the M.T. Anderson books in because, among other awesome things, Jasper Dash and his crazy retro rocket-powered inventions are just plain fun.
