The ARC PartyThe mission of The ARC Party is to talk with authors who have books publishing in the near future. We want to celebrate new book releases and encourage readers to pre-order and engage with their libraries about the books they're interested in. Author: Robb Olson
Your first look at upcoming books! My goal with the ARC Party is to connect readers with books before they release! Much of the success of a new book is connected to pre-orders and early sales numbers, but sometimes people don't hear about a book until long after it's been released. An episode typically consists of an author giving a quick description of their book, followed by a spoiler free discussion about it. We often talk about themes, characters, settings, etc. But I'm careful to not talk about anything that would ruin the reading experience! www.thearcparty.com Language: en Genres: Arts, Books, Entertainment News, News Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

David James Keaton - ALMOST GOOD
Monday, 12 January, 2026
David James Keaton has been a friend and a peer since the waning days of 2011. Back then, I was starting a podcast and didn’t really know what I was doing. He was promoting a book about zombies at a bed and breakfast and podcast were kinda brand new. Since then I’ve read a ton of his books, he’s been on a ton of my podcasts, and we’ve even gone to a baseball game. But this is a first! Finally, the tables have turned and David has had me as a guest host on his podcast - Almost Good. Almost Good is a podcast where David and a revolving door of guests talk about mostly recent movies - specifically movies that are “Almost good”. But maybe it’s just a way to give Dave license to be overly critical? Nah. There’s a lot of wit and insight in his episodes, and it’s obvious that before he was a respected professor, or an established author, Dave spent a lot of time in video stores (as a customer and an employee) and had built not only a huge body of experience with movies, but also fine tuned his thoughts on what works and what doesn’t. Usually I disagree with him (lay person that I am), but on this occasion, when Guillermo del Toro drops a Frankenstein, we managed to feel pretty similar about it. While I did have my gripes with the film, the conversation was great, and he even tricked me into talking about like 30 other movies he recently watched. I hope you enjoy this conversation, and that you’re inspired to check out more of David’s podcast. For the folks who prefer YouTube: This is a public episode.
