As you can probably imagine, I've been bugging @VelocityWong for years to do an episode of @theindicator on how Isaac Asimov's Foundation series—and its fictional science of psychohistory—has encouraged fans to pursue careers in economics. It's finally here, and it's great!

"Americans' excitement about spaceflight has really persisted because it's been flexible, because it's been able to adapt to new times." Check out Margaret Weitekamp's great interview on @RetroRocketsPod for all things spaceflight, sci-fi, and Smithsonian! podbean.com/ew/pb-gjzty-144f…

I had a great time talking to @RetroRocketsPod about ASTOUNDING and my work on the history of science fiction. Topics include the legacy of John W. Campbell, my love of The X-Files, and the true importance of L. Ron Hubbard. Check it out! podbean.com/media/share/pb-u…

Just had a great interview with @retrorocketspod! Have to say, I can imagine no honor greater than following after @Rcordas, recent recipient of the prestigious Space Cowboy Award. :) Thanks for a fun time, Andrea!

So hypothetically, if I wanted to host a group of people to talk about their favorite SF comedy movies, would I really get 42 guests? I feel like that'd be hard to manage.

Volume 2 of Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women finally arrived, pictured here with volume 1. If you're interested in the history of SF and particularly the works of women writers in the 1950s and 1960s, you need these books.

This month on @pavementpodcast, we're discussing Freejack, adapted from Robert Sheckley's novel Immortality, Inc. Anybody read or seen them?

“Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.” ― John Waters. I love this quote and get a surprising amount of people appalled that I have so many unread books in my collection #booktwt

If you feel you don't know enough about the fan categories and editors to vote, the fan category and editing finalists are always well represented in the Hugo voter packet, so you can sample their work.
