Eating the FantasticAuthor: Scott Edelman
I've been going to science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comic book conventions since I was 15, and I've found that while the con which takes place within the walls of a hotel or convention center is always fun, the con away from the conwhich takes place when I wander off-site with friends for a mealcan often be more fun. In fact, my love of tracking down good food while traveling the world attending conventions has apparently become so well known that one blogger even dubbed me "science fiction's Anthony Bourdain." So I've decided to replicate in podcast form one of my favorite parts of any conventiongood conversation with good friends over good food. During each episode, I'll share a meal with someone whose opinions I think you'll want to hear, and we'll talk about science fiction, fantasy, horror, writing, comics, movies, fandom whatever happens to come to mind. (There'll also be food talk, of course.) Please notethis will not be a pristine studio-recorded podcast, but one which will always occur in a restaurant setting, meaning that mixed in with our conversation will be the sounds of eating and drinking and reviewing of menus and slurping and background chatter and the servers popping in in other words, it'll be as messy as life. And I hope you'll find it as entertaining, too. Language: en Genres: Arts, Books, Fiction, Science Fiction Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
