It may be that they work better with the audio format than they would in print, but I have grown quite attached to hearing them at the end, and they form an important part of the character development for AM. Looking forward to hearing more episodes, and about the self-publishing journey. Ter,

I do hope you continue. I've published several technical books through a couple of publishers but with the evolution of self-publishing and the integration with Amazon and other online services, I've been toying with the idea of trying the self-publishing route at some future point. So I'll definitely be watching your own experiment! (Thanks!) On the diaries of Angus, I was a bit skeptical at first but now I have to say that I love them! They are a wonderful counterpoint to the main narrative and also provide touching insight into the character of Angus. Now, as your previous commenter (Jaye Sunsurn) said, it may be that they work especially well in the podcast medium. I have been listening along each week and so the diary ends my weekly listening... and then I wait for a week to hear the next installment. I don't know how well they would work with all the chapters run together. I can see the argument made by the editor that they are disrupting the flow of the narrative... but I definitely still like them as a vehicle for advancing the movement and providing a countervailing view of what is going on within the main storyline. Anyway, congrats on this next stage and I look forward to hearing about how it goes next. (I do hope your copy editor is Canadian, eh?) As for me, it's off to listen to the start of Part 2...

I have to somewhat agree with the editors idea that so far the Diaries have interrupted the flow slightly, its a little different when you are listening to it and its the ending of the chapter before waiting a week before hearing it again, it fits the audio medium reasonably well to have them there. It helps round off each listening chapter and given Angus' strong stance on things makes points which Daniel learns to follow. But in print I can see how that would take away from things, but as part II comes on, the fresh perspective of someone who hasn't been a part of back room politics starts to be opened I suspect it will be useful commentary, even for those of us who like to think we know a little about the political game, let alone those who might not know much at all... Thanks for the podcast I am enjoying it a great deal and look forward listening in right until the end.
