Eating the FantasticAuthor: Scott Edelman
Ive been going to science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comic book conventions since I was 15, and Ive 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 fictions 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, Ill share a meal with someone whose opinions I think youll want to hear, and well talk about science fiction, fantasy, horror, writing, comics, movies, fandom whatever happens to come to mind. (Therell 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, itll 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 |

Episode 259
Thursday, 24 July, 2025
Pig out on pork belly with Curtis C. Chen as we discuss how he discovered Star Trek through the bars of his crib, how the superspy star of his Kangaroo trilogy was born, what it was like being critiqued by Pat Murphy and Ursula K. Le Guin when he was starting out, how taking voice acting lessons kickstarted his desire to write, the way to tell when it's time to quit your day job (or not), how his nearly five-years-long flash fiction story-a-week project began, his creative solution for referencing the 20th century in his future series, an intriguing exercise for writers when watching TV shows based on the written word, why he went indie for the third book in his series, and much more.
