Mr Gaiman and Mr Hodgman continue their conversation about Audio Books. Here they talk about the upcoming audiobook release of Robert Sheckley’s DIMENSION OF MIRACLES and why it sometimes feels like a strange cross between Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy AND Mad Men at the same time.
(It’s about five minutes of us burbling.)
Mr Gaiman and Mr Hodgman discuss Audiobooks, and how much fun it is or isn’t to record them, also several of the dangers involved for the unwary.
Ahh…you see, this is where you make your fundamental mistake, grasshopper. Let us go back to the ancient Hodgmanist Koan: ‘If you see Hodgman on the road, kill him’.
And I think what they were trying to say is that we will all see Hodgman on the road because Hodgman lives in each one of us. Every time someone says, ‘I’m a Mac and I’m a PC’, Hodgman will be there. Every time you walk into a huge building and you see a hastily scrawled hobo sign on the door letting you know that someone on the third floor will give you food and a shower, Hodgman is there with you. And every time you turn on The Daily Show and Hodgman is not on, Hodgman is still with us in some kind of spirit informing The Daily Show just as Hodgman is here right now.
I might be Hodgman. You might be Hodgman.
—Neil Gaiman on John Hodgman via the Nerdist Podcast #106
We are all Hodgman. Amen.
