Erik gave an interview with Jeff Greiner at The Tome Show. Have a Listen...
An interesting listen.
The Pathfinder Society sounds truly interesting.
I really enjoyed it. Of course, if you read the Paizo boards faithfully, and come to the chats.. There's no great scoop here, no surprise revelation that hasn't already been made to this community directly.
Edit: And that's not a criticism! The interview stuck me as intended for the whole gaming community at large, so it only makes sense that a Paizio regular might already know a lot of what he has to say. So again, that's not a critique.
Hmm... let's see.. Definite confirmation on Monsterbooks after the Core book. The Corebook will be a PHB/DMG combination.
It's still a fun interview. Plus you get to hear what Erik sounds like, and adds a human dimension to the message board posts.

Are you kidding?
I've been pronouncing it Pay-zo for years now.
Pie-zo? Wow.
This is huge news...

You should try calling the office after hours and listening to the voicemail messages. Seriously. Funny stuff, you can tell you've called a Game Company.

They're so good I've never needed to go looking for Help...
I'm bringing it back... from a 2005 thread where the pronunciation was questioned... I added this unhelpful tidbit:
Got it!

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the episode.
And yeah, no real scoops. I figured as much. Erik isn't the designer, so I didn't delve into design questions as much (I'll try and talk to Jason later when we get further into the playtesting for that sort of thing). And there wasn't much more to dig for, from what I could tell, since Paizo has been very upfront, honest, open, and transparent about this whole thing, the process, etc.
I dug as much as I could, however, with things like intentions for future products (monsters, psionics, etc.).
But thanks for listening, let me know what else you'd like to hear/hear about. I already have a reporter for the show looking to do a series on the pathfinder rpg rules, which also won't be any big scoop for most folks around here. :-)

Just so you know.. The lack of scoops was no complaint. It was a fine interview just the same.
