Science Fiction and Fantasy.

A series where hosts talk about Science Fiction and Fantasy in the form of books, movies, TV series, etc.

This is a look at the early history of science fiction, focusing on the Golden Age, which is roughly the decade from 1939-1950. This is when many of the great authors developed their craft and became famous, and in turn set the ground for science fiction going forward.

Penguicon

I attempted to suggest myself as a guest to Penguicon 2024, but was told I was too late and should try again for 2025. Being both a known filler and a known Linux podcaster, both I and they thought I would be the perfect guest. Sadly, my more recent contact with them resulted in me being told they were not sure there would even be a Penguicon in 2025. I look forward to hearing from them in the future.

Sorry to hear it

I think in hindsight the Covid pandemic really hurt Penguicon. They had to cancel several years running for public health reasons, and that cost them a lot of momentum. I was planning to attend in 2024, but as it happened I got sick (nothing serious) and elected to stay home instead. I'm not part of the team any more, so I have no particular insight into where things may be headed.
