Deep Cuts
From Siglerpedia
Deep Cuts is the bonus episode of the Scott Sigler Slices fiction podcast where a sci-fi author and an audiobook narrator discuss things and stuff in the world of fiction and pop culture. It is hosted by Scott Sigler and A Sigler, and is not part of any current story being podcast.
Deep Cuts is extracted from the weekly livestream. Each livestream begins with the week's story read live for the audience, and then followed by a discussion topic. The audio from the live read of the story is added to the weekly podcast feed as part of Scott Sigler Slices, the main podcast of new content released every Sunday. The additional discussion topic is separately released in the same weekly podcast feed as Deep Cuts on the Tuesday following the story podcast.
The first Deep Cuts episode was released in May of 2024 in the podcast feed.
