Kundenrezensionen
Contemporary SF & Fantasy interviews
The Geek's Guide to the Galaxy is a bi-weekly podcast, during which the two hosts John Joseph Adams and David Barr Kirtley interview contemporary Science Fiction and Fantasy authors. The interviews last for about half an hour and are followed by a second half hour of John's and David's commentary.
Interviewed authors up to now were e.g. G.R.R Martin, The Tolkien Professor, or Cherie Priest.
Especially the commentary section adds a lot of additional material for further reading and exploration.
The audio quality is sometimes less than optimal, but hey, the content is great.
Highly recommended.
Similar Podcasts are e.g. Schriftsonar, or the Incomparable.
well worth listening to
This podcast manages to get some of the big names of fiction to make guest appearances.
In regards to topics covered this is a very well done pod-cast covering a huge range of different questions. The inclusion of the unique point of view of both hosts as authors and/or editors provides an interesting view into the industry and I just can't get enough of those little anecdotes when the hosts tell about how they met some now famous authors years ago and what kind of persons they are. Audio quality is sometimes extremely bad depending on the quality of the recorded phone conversation with their guests. That aside, production quality is really good. This is a podcast I can really recommend for all fans of fiction.
Are there things I'd love to see change? Yes there are:
I wish some of the "jokes" wouldn't just fizzle because you can almost feel that the co-host host thinks.. "not funny dude". So please continue your refreshing journey though fiction and related topics but refrain from making jokes, laughing about it before your co-host can react. Humor is always welcome, humor that only one person apparently finds funny, not so much.
