Alrighty folks.\u00a0 Today marks our glorious return to Otherworld, and boy do we have a doozy of an interview for you this week!\u00a0 After something a little dark and dreary, it\u2019s time we move on to something lighthearted.<\/p>\n
Our latest stop is in Iorden, a realm created by Christian Madera and Zach Glass.\u00a0 The guys, together with a hugely talented cast and crew, bring us The Once and Future Nerd<\/em>, an audio series that pokes fun at the fantasy genre while simultaneously embracing it.\u00a0 Their team is amazing, and it really is worth checking out.\u00a0 In the meantime, read on to witness an incredible interview.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Tellest: <\/strong>This is a huge undertaking!\u00a0 I spend a few days preparing for each interview, and I barely scratched the surface of The Once and Future Nerd<\/em>.\u00a0 How long did it take you to get everything lined up for this stunning project?<\/p>\n Christian Madera:<\/em><\/strong> Haha, a while. The short answer is: more than 18 months from first discussing the idea to putting something out in the world. The earliest thing from this project that I have saved on my computer is dated February 2012. Most of that first year was spent really fine-tuning that first script (what became the first 6 episodes of the podcast), and figuring out what exactly we wanted the project to be. But once we decided on the format and started reaching out to people to gauge interest, everything kind of fell together remarkably quickly. We had our awesome <\/em>cast and crew<\/a><\/em> assembled in a couple of months. Then we went into production in March of 2013 and put out our first three episodes in September of 2013.<\/em><\/p>\n
