Geek's Guide to the Galaxy - A Science Fiction Podcast WIRED

I’ve been listening to Geek’s Guide for years, and each new episode brightens my week.

The panels are my favorite - and I often find myself laughing or nodding in agreement with the different opinions and perspectives. Do I pause the show to offer my own thoughts and perspectives to an empty room? No. That’s what schizophrenic people do. I do it in my car while driving like a normal person.

Seriously though, if you like fantasy, sci fi, or generally interesting discussion and perspectives on cool ideas, give this a listen.

This podcast has inspired me to finish a lot of my science fiction writing, and has also introduced me to amazing authors via a fantastic interviewer.

Also has inspired me to apply to Clareon West this year, thank you!

I listen to a lot of interviews where the interviewer hasn't read the author's work and isn't familiar with who they are. David spends a lot of time learning about each new guest, often catching them off guard with insightful questions. A good example of this is in the Kazuo Ishiguro episode. By the end of it, the guest is engaged and asking questions back at David until his handler has to pull him away for the next interview.

In terms of interview-based podcsasting, you won't find a better option than The Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.
