Page Break Episode 6: Tom Merritt

The sixth episode of my new podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, my guest is podcaster, tech journalist, and author Tom Merritt.

Tom has a wildly prolific career, starting in local radio and working for CNET, the Twit.tv network, and numerous freelance radio, writing, and podcast gigs. He currently hosts the Daily Tech News Show and Cordkillers, as well as the science fiction and fantasy podcast Sword and Laser.

I ask Tom about his storied career across multiple media; the intersection of audiobooks and podcasting; as well as Tom’s forays into science fiction.


Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.

Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.

Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like romantic fantasy author Charlie Holmberg, podcaster Veronica Belmont, epic fantasy author Peter V. Brett, science fiction author Wesley Chu, and many more!
