Customer Reviews
diverse SciFi
Thanks to this great podcast I got to discover a variety and diversity in SciFi and related themes that I did not think possible, be it novels, anthologies, shows, or movies. David Barr Kirtley is always extremely well prepared, and in the interviews asks intelligent and challenging questions. The panel discussions are always fun to listen to. If I had a wish for an interview guest, it would be Vandana Singh!
Just listen please!
What an extraordinary effort to maintain the sci fi and fantasy in dignity and respect. This is the podcast that made me love podcasts
