Guests' comments
"I've literally never had as much fun being interviewed or being on a podcast ever. And I've been on a bunch over the years. You guys really made me feel comfortable and at ease. I think it was your sense of humor. You guys were funny, which really got me into it." Andy Rausch, author of Riding Shotgun and Other American Cruelties.
"There is great fun to be had on the Panic Room. It is quirky, irreverent, and the questions on books and writing are really incisive and insightful. There are questions in depth and room to explore ideas in order to connect to and with the audience. And all the time there are jokes, fun interactions and mad ideas. Not to be missed for any writer." Brian Stoddart, author of A Straits Settlement.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed being on the Panic Room when I've been invited. Great fun and excellent to chat about books or the genre in general." Paul Kane, award-winning, bestselling author and editor of over a hundred books.
"Panic Room Radio is the most fun you can have with your pants on! Although I guess I never wear pants when I'm on the show, so it's the most fun you can have, period." Jeff Strand, Bram Stoker Award Winner. "The friendliest of hosts with great camaraderie between the two. If you have a favorite genre, they've covered it." Chad Lutzke, author of Of Foster Homes and Flies.
"Going on The Panic Room Radio Show with James and Xtina is like hanging with old pals shootin' the shit, whether it's your first time or as a repeat guest. With its throwback style formatting reminiscent of the glory days of radio, it's unlike anything else. Entertaining interviews, insightful reviews, and the seasoned hosts make for a helluva good time." Nick Roberts, award winning horror author of The Exorcist's House
