Customer Reviews
All the Geekiness a Girl Could Want
As I have a real commute for the first time, I thought I would give this podcast a listen (I found it through i09). It is simply unbelievable! What a great book list I now have. Sci-fi/fantasy/horror readers take note! Writers, listen up! It's all the geekiness a girl could want. And witty too!
Great!
This is a thoroughly entertaining and informative podcast. I am always very happy to see it appear on my ipod!
Excellent Interviews and Insightful Discussion
I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast since I discovered it around Halloween of 2010. There have been some really amazing guests (Greg Bear, Orson Scott Card, George R.R. Martin) and it's been great to hear the thoughts of these folks about their own work and about sci-fi in general. John and David have great insight into sci fi, fantasy, and horror and they help the guests to stay focused and it keeps it all genuine and interesting. One thought:: I would like to have some episodes focused on writing science fiction and fantasy, or maybe a segment in each show about writing.
Keep up the good work.
