One the one hand, charming while at the same time gritty, we learn about\u00a0the world that Alvin inhabits, the society he survives in and the profound affect one man can have.<\/p>\n<p>The other story is about\u00a0two boyhood friends, <a href=\"https:\/\/maximiliangray.com\" target=\"_blank\">Maximillian Gray<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/joshhorowitz.com\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Horowitz<\/a>. After surviving the <em>&#8220;rigors&#8221;<\/em> of public education together in the Greater LA Area, they went their separate ways as often happens. Max and Josh both found themselves in the entertainment industry and a chance social media reconnection brought them back together for this project: Max as writer and Josh as audio book creator.<\/p>\n<p>So, this episode is two fascinating stories. One is about a book\/audio book and the other is the rekindling of a friendship to create it. It\u2019s a really cool story with two\u00a0really eloquent interesting men.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the chaos. We did, for sure.<\/p>\n<span id=\"pod_audio_1\">&nbsp;<\/span><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-9289-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast408.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast408.mp3\">http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast408.mp3<\/a><\/audio><p><a href='http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast408.mp3'>Download<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/castplayer?castfile=http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast408.mp3&id=9289\" rel=\"0\" class=\"newPlayerWindow\" >Open Player in New Window<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9291\" style=\"width: 201px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/joshhorowitz.com\/about\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9291\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9291\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9291\" src=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/josh-headshot-191x300-191x300.jpg\" alt=\"JoshHorowitz\" width=\"191\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josh Horowitz<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_9292\" style=\"width: 226px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maximiliangray.com\/about-me-maximilian-gray\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9292\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9292\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9292\" src=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/maxGray-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"May Gray (Image Not Available\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">May Gray<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=9289\" data-text=\"TalkCast 408 - A Series Of Fortunate Events or Alvin Baylor Lives!\"  >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=9289\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscifisaturdaynight.com%2F%3Fp%3D9289&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fscifisaturdaynight.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F03%2FmaxGray-216x300.jpg&#038;description=TalkCast%20408%20-%20A%20Series%20Of%20Fortunate%20Events%20or%20Alvin%20Baylor%20Lives%21\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This episode is actually two stories in one.
