PC Haring as Buzz
P.C. Haring discovered podcasting back in 2007 and has never looked back. By that time he had already completed his first manuscript, Cybrosis, and was editing and shopping it to agents. In the years since, he has written two more full length novels, the first two installments in a planned trilogy, the third of which he will start drafting in 2010. His voice has been featured on several other podcasts including The Case of The Singing Sword: A Billibub Baddings Mystery, by Tee Morris, The Metamor City Podcast by Chris Lester, and Antithesis Book 1: Predestination and other games of Chance by J.D. Sawyer. He has been a narrator on Escape Pod and is a recurring guest on Hey Wanna Watch A Movie, as well as the Nina Kimberly the Merciless companion episodes. He is also an infrequent voice mail and content contributor to the Slice of Sci-Fi podcast and Jack Mangan’s Deadpan Podcast among others. When not moonlighting as a writer and podcaster, P.C. Haring works as an accountant for a private corporation in suburban Chicago. He is also the accountant and treasurer for Escape Artists, Inc and it’s properties, Escape Pod, Pseudopod, and Podcastle. He is an amateur Violist and plays weekly at a local church. His music can also be heard in the second season of The Metamor City Podcast. |
This habit, which he indulges in public, and into which he drags perfectly sensible people like composer Danny Schade, has garnered him six Parsec nominations and helped him make his first professional fiction and philosophy sales .
When not intruding upon his readers and listeners imaginations with his sordid tales, he endeavors to corrupt their sense of moral probity with his suspiciously titled The Polyschizmatic Reprobates Hour, a skeptical podcast with a focus on “cultural innovators” (i.e. troublemakers). He also appears religiously on Zach Moore’s Apologia, a shifty philosophy and ethics roundtable populated by people with far too much time on their hands.
In addition to his work as an author and producer, he is a prolific voice over artist and a regular presence throughout the podosphere, appearing either as actor or interview subject on The InfidelGuy, The Dead Robots Society, Erotica A La Carte, The Metamor City Podcast, Going Linux, and others too numerous to name.
Other current projects include the science fiction thriller Free Will and Other Compulsions, the morbidly titled educational book Philosopher Deaths, and The Sophia Project: Strong Women in World Mythology, a photography book laughably billing itself as “fine art” (which we all know is a code word for “filled with naked people”) and claiming to retell the infamous and best-forgotten stories of the great female heroes in world mythology.
