Author: Läyeh July 4, 2025 Duration: 49:18

Rural fantasy, writing life, and the strange tale of 1982’s hidden encounter.

Welcome aboard #dkLa! Pirate Radio for the first part of a truly mind-bending conversation with Bob McGough—author of the beloved Jubal County Saga, podcaster behind the Tales by Bob Podcast Network, and a game designer who brings worlds to life.

But this isn’t just a chat about writing craft. Today, Bob shares the beginning of a story he’s kept close to his chest for decades: a secret alien abduction in 1982—a bizarre event that would shape his creative journey, outlook on reality, and the stories he tells.

Along the way, we dive into:
🔹 The rise of ‘Rural’ Urban Fantasy in Southern fiction
🔹 What it takes to build and sustain an indie writing career
🔹 How childhood mysteries shape lifelong creativity
🔹 Why Bob’s work resonates with dreamers, skeptics, and storytellers alike

And yes—one of Bob’s books will soon be featured at Layeh’s Bookshelf Book Club!

This episode will make you question what’s real, what’s imagined, and where the two collide.

There's a certain magic in catching a conversation before it's packaged for mass consumption, a raw authenticity that often gets smoothed away. #dkLa! Pirate Radio, steered by Läyeh, is built on that very premise. This podcast operates like an audio archive for the unfolding present, dedicating itself to deep, patient listening. You'll hear dialogues that feel more like discoveries than interviews, where ideas are presented in their formative, sometimes messy state, and cultural shifts are examined as they happen, not in retrospect. The rhythm here is intentionally different, prioritizing the craft of the conversation and the substance of the connection over the noise of immediacy. It’s a space shaped by a respect for enduring traditions and meticulous care, yet it remains dynamically open to what's next without compromising its core. Tuning into this feed means accessing a continuous document of voices and thoughts that value depth and continuity, offering a sustained, thoughtful engagement with society and culture that’s increasingly rare. This is where you listen closely, not just hear.
