UltraCreatives Interview #11: Mark Jeffrey
As J.C. Hutchins promised in his last UltraCreatives episode, this is podcast #2 for today — an interview with the amazing author Mark Jeffrey. Outside the realm of podcasting, Mark is a Silicon Valley success story: he’s an entrepreneur, a savvy networker and a visionary.
But within podcasting, Mark is best known as an author, and one of the first three “inventors” of the podiobook. In early 2005, his book, The Pocket and the Pendant, debuted alongside the works of Scott Sigler and Tee Morris, and set a standard for story and production quality that’s still heard today.
J.C. chats with Mark about The Pocket and the Pendant, how he wrote and podcasted it … and also discusses some of his business ventures, and how they helped shape his novel writing career. Best of all, Mark has an exclusive announcement for the podcasting community and beyond. The UltraCreatives Interview Series is the first announcement of this anywhere, and J.C. was thrilled that Mark came on the podcast to share the news.
Expect a “Beta Clone Army” update episode later this week.

UltraCreatives Interview #10: Jared Axelrod
It’s an UltraCreatives “two-fer” today: You’re getting TWO interview episodes for the price of one! Today’s first episode is with Jared Axelrod, a podcaster, writer, actor, director, puppetmaker, costume maker — there’s very little this man can’t do, which is why it was a thrill having him on the podcast.
In the podcasting community, Jared is best-known for his “Stories from Free Planet X” podcast. J.C. Hutchins and Jared speak at length about that and his other creative endeavors. It’s a hoot, and you’ll learn a lot about the life of a multi-faceted artist.
There’s tons of news for listeners to learn about, including coverage in The Washington Post and the groundbreaking “audience participation” invitation for all 7th Son listeners for the 7th Son: OBSIDIAN short story anthology … but there’s no time to do it in this episode. Expect an informal “Beta Clone Army Update” episode in a day or two.
