Discovering Podcasts I Love
I have no idea how I came across Geeks Guide earlier this year. It has very quickly become my favourite (UK English spelling) show.
I’ve discovered many brilliant authors that I hadn’t heard of before. One that comes to mind is Ada Palmer, interviewed in episode 495. What a genius writer.
It doesn’t stop with new authors, the discussions about various series and movies are incredibly informative, often hilarious.
David Barr Kirtley is so well read, I learn something from every show. Also appreciate the efforts of John Joseph Adams and the regular panelists.
I’m working through the backlog, onto episode 475 as I write this.
Marvelous show
Very knowledgeable presenter with a true passion for the subjects in the episodes
Great guide through science fiction
I'm really grateful for David Barr Kirtley for running this show. For me it is one of the key guides what to watch and read or not, where it comes to science fiction.
