Okay, it’s official! Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy will be relaunching on the mega-popular website io9. Watch for our long-awaited George R. R. Martin episode next Wednesday, October 6th!
Thanks so much to Annalee Newitz and all the folks over at io9 for making this possible.
This would also not be possible without the support of our first sponsor, Brilliance Audio, the nation’s largest independent publisher of audiobooks. The next few episodes of Geek’s Guide will feature short ads for featured Brilliance titles that we think may be of interest to our listeners. Special thanks to John Grace at Brilliance for setting this up for us.
Also, we’ve had a number of listeners ask if they could donate money to help keep the show going, and we’ve now got that set up. You can PayPal funds to us at geeksgalaxy@gmail.com. Producing the show is enormous fun but also an enormous time sink, and the amount of listener support we receive over the next few months will help determine to what extent we’re able to keep doing it.
And of course, if you haven’t listened to each and every one of our twenty-one existing episodes, they’re all still available over at Tor.com.
Seriously, I learned about so many new authors from your podcast… Awesome. Thanks! And you guys are pretty decent philosophers too, when it comes to… more difficult conundrums :D (like the consciousness transfer stuff, for example) I actually mean it. Seriously. I’m looking forward to more more debates on similar issues – fantasy and sci-fi are full of that stuff.
Also, it’s always good to hear that Roger Zelazny is still very much appreciated. Kudos to mentioning “The Keys to December” on the terraforming episode!
congratulations Dave and John! really looking forward to the new shows. best of luck on io9!
