Apologies for the lengthy link but I *still* can't insert hyperlinks into my posts.

Here's what the page has to say to introduce the triptych of shows:

Welcome to Episode 69 of Speculate! The Podcast for Writers, Readers and Fans. With this episode we begin a new triptych of shows on the work of Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm, looking at the 2011 short story collection The Inheritance and Other Stories–the first time both pseudonyms have been brought together in one volume. In particular we talk about Lindholm’s stories “A Touch of Lavender” and “The Fifth Squashed Cat,” along with Hobb’s stories “The Inheritance” and “Cat’s Meat”; although both names belong to one author, the voices and emphases are quite different, and we look at both those differences and the assured touch of a speculative fiction master evident throughout all of the book. If you like what you hear, don’t forget to check back next week when we’ll continue the triptych with our interview of Robin Hobb/Megan Lindholm herself.

The segment on Robin commences around the 5:24 mark and includes an interview.

I have still never read Cat's Meat. I bet there are other Hobb short stories I haven't read, too....

speculatesf.com must be having some server issues right now. I couldn't load either of the episodes, so I tried to go to the home page. Couldn't load that, either.

Thanks for posting!! I'll just try back later.

Both just came up immediately for me, Valarya. Hope you find that everything has righted itself.
