Note: This episode includes SPOILERS. Why am I writing about orphans? What's with all the violence? Have I ever been attacked by pirates? Why did I kill your favorite character? How much of this history business is actually true? Here at the end of Part II of The Fiddler's Gun, I sat down with poet, writer, Rabbit Room staff member, and reader of fine books Shigé Clark to discuss some "behind the scenes"-type stuff. Shigé only recently read the book for the first time and came to the studio full of great questions. It's a fun discussion. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.Support the show.

Bonus Episode: Behind the Book (Part 1)

For years, people have asked me when the audiobooks of The Fiddler's Gun and Fiddler's Green would be published, and for years I’ve deflected those questions because it wasn’t something I had time to figure out. But the ten-year anniversary of their publication seems like a great opportunity to change that. For the next 70 or so episodes, I’m going to read through The Fiddler’s Gun, Fiddler’s Green, and maybe even some other fun things that flesh out the story. Welcome to Fin’s Revolution, an American legend, one chapter at a time.
