I attended a great SF con, January 18th-20th, this year.  They’re already planning ConFusion 2009 and I can’t wait.  I had a great time and did quite a lot of recording.  Well now I’m happy to be sharing them with the rest of the world.  These recordings will also be donated to the Science Fiction Oral History Association (SFOHA.org)

John Scalzi was the Toastmaster Guest of Honor, and anything he does is alway entertaining.  A couple of my favorites are Piracy of Fiction on the Internet (for Patrick Nielsen Hayden, mainly), and The Short Sell (for the insight into the shifting market away from traditional print mags).

These files are not going to be in the podcast feed so you’ll have to play or download them from this posting.

Time Traveler Show #23 contains two recordings from ConFusion with Jim Hines that is not listed below.  Also Time Traveler Show #25 has a reading by Mike Resnick.
