But I Digress…, Episode 47: Unboxing ‘A Time for Everything’ (NEW ANTHOLOGY!)

(I intended for this to be set as a premiere on YouTube, but it didn’t work. Oops).

I’ve been sitting on this video for a while now, and I finally got around to editing and uoploading it. In this, I unbox a new anthology from Onward and Upward Media, A Time for Everything, which is a collection of short stories to which I contributed. Each of the tales within is based on a line from Ecclesistes 3. I chose “a time to dance” because I’m a ballroom dancer in my spare time. Enjoy this fun little video!

Interviewed on the Christian Nerds Unite Podcast

Recently I was interviewed by Ricky Pope on the Christian Nerds Unite podcast with Scott Bayles. It pertained to The Fantastic 42: A Fellowship Facing Doom with Hope, the latest in the 42 devotional series. We both contributed to that book, and we go into a lot of detail in the interview about why we chose the characters we wrote about as well as the origin of this new book. This episode is available on YouTube and your favorite podcatcher. Check it out!

“But I Digress…” Returns–for Gen-Con 2021!

After the longest of hiatuses, my old YouTube show returns as a live show/YouTube shorts series! I relaunched it for Gen-Con 2021, doing daily recap streams with my friend and co-author Eric Anderson, the founder of Nerd Chapel, discussing what we did at the convention and how our book sales went each day. Check out the playlist below!

I was Interviewed by Kaiju Kim about Kaiju Literature!

This past Sunday, I was interviewed by Kaiju Kim, who makes the most wholesome kaiju content you’ll see on YouTube. It was Father’s Day, so the chat was relatively quiet, but we still had a good time discussing kaiju literature–including books and short stories I’ve written and published myself. Give it a watch!

My Gen-Con Online Panels

Yeah, yeah, I know I should be making more content on my website. I’m working on it. Regardless, here are videos of my presentations for Gen-Con Online last month.

This first video is…not great. I had lots of technical issues, as you’ll see. However, I do think I’ll remake this in anotehr video.

With this one, I figured out the problems and it went much better. If you want to start a podcast, you’ll benefit from watching this!

The Monster Island Film Vault – My New Podcast Premieres!

After a year of prep and a summer of hype, my new podcast, The Monster Island Film Vault, premiered today. You can listen to it on several podcatchers, but it’s also on YouTube. The video version is below. Click here for the audio version.

Enjoy!

Hello, kaiju lovers!

Listen as Nathan Marchand, co-creator and season one co-host of the Kaijuvision Radio, regales you with the origin story of his new podcast. It includes a vacation to a resort on the fabled Monster Island (formerly Monsterland), where he met his intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA (who miraculously survived the infamous War in Space), and got a new job as the curator of the Island’s film vault. Between bantering sessions with his detail-obsessed, fact-checking interrupter of a producer, Nathan explains the podcast’s philosophy of film appreciation and lays the groundwork for the upcoming episodes.

And what will Nathan, Jimmy, and their many guests be discussing first? The filmography of Monster Island’s other most famous resident: KING KONG!

Hold onto your butts!

G-Fest XXVI Panel – The Art of Kaiju Writing

The third and final panel I participated in was the annual Art of Kaiju Writing, a Q&A with fellow writers Neil Riebe, John LeMay, and Skip Peel. We spent an hour answering all manner of writing questions, and not just ones related to kaiju. In other words, even if you’re not into monsters, there’s plenty you can learn from this video.

Poor Neil, though. He joked that the camera would break at seeing his face, and at first I thought it didn’t record. I discovered later that it had. 😛

My Interview on Geek Devotions

Me and my Kaijuvision Radio co-host, Brian Scherschel, were interviewed on Geek Devotions as the grand finale for their King of the Monsters Month. The show’s host, Dallas, is one of our biggest fans and has been name-dropping us all month in his videos and podcast. I’d also contributed to a video game stream he did as part of King of the Monsters Month a few weeks ago. Learn how and why we started Kaijuvision Radio as we geek out about Godzilla!
