Books, music, role-playing games, wrestling in Featherstone Library and many other digressions await.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-13T02:18:33.743080+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577"},"episode":{"title":"Immortality Inc. by Robert Sheckley","slug":"immortality-inc-by-robert-sheckley","published_at":"2025-10-21T13:28:21+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577/immortality-inc-by-robert-sheckley","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577","url":"https://breakfastintheruins.podbean.com/e/immortality-inc-by-robert-sheckley/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/nuk7c9q54waetqdf/121_Immortality_Incb6yhd.mp3","summary":"Author and game designer Tone Milazzo joins me in Derry & Toms as we look at another work by the late, great Robert Sheckley, his first novel Immortality Inc. Last time we talked about Sheckley with Derek, I had the distinct sense that we would be going back for more… and this turned out to be an apt choice, with this podcast being released during October, because it's a Halloween episode by stealth! Tone’s website is tonemilazzo.com and you can find out more there about his novels, Picking Up the Ghost and The Faith Machine, and his RPG The King in Giallo.","meta_description":"Author and game designer Tone Milazzo joins me in Derry & Toms as we look at another work by the late, great Robert Sheckley, his first novel Immortal…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":7690,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577/episodes/immortality-inc-by-robert-sheckley/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577/immortality-inc-by-robert-sheckley.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
