Hello, Dickheads. Shut-in as we are against the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we were still able to get together on Google Hangouts and have a great conversation with the President, co-Publisher, and co-Editor-in-Chief of science fiction and fantasy publisher DAW Books, Betsy Wollheim. She shares some of her vast knowledge with us built out of a lifetime in the publishing industry after being taught the ropes by her famous (and sometimes infamous) father, Donald Allen Wollheim. Enjoy.

Hello, DickHeads. Finally, after a month of holidays and a month of illness, we are back. And with something a little different. This time we got a pair of authors (Lisa Yaszek/The Future is Female and Alec Nevala-Lee/Astounding) together with LJT and David to discuss Cancel Culture and its relevance in light of the numerous award name changes; most notablyJeannette Ng's Campbell Award acceptance speech, in which she condemns John W. Campbell.

Here is the first official offering of David's 1960s Hugo Award for Best Novel series. The other two Hugo winners (Man in the High Castle, Starship Troopers) are discussed in episodes of the main podcast. The entire Dick Adjacent series is dedicated to exploring the era of sci-fi in which Philip K. Dick wrote in by examining works of his contemporaries. Here, David is joined by writer/publisher Duane Pesice for a discussion on the John Brunner classic Stand on Zanzibar, a weird and highly regarded novel about overpopulation with many accurate predictions of our current world.

Welcome to the Norman Spinrad Spectacular. The interview with the man himself begins a little contentiously but don't worry, it doesn't take them long to get into a groove. They discuss Mr. Spinrad's entire career of over 50 years creating forward-thinking and controversial material. And you are going to want to stick around for the end to hear one (if not the) best PKD stories of all time.

Here in this phone recorded episode David discusses Beyond Apollo by Barry Malzbreg with guest author James Reich who wrote the introduction to a 2015 edition of the novel published by Anti-Oedipus Press in 2015. But they don't stop there; the discussion also includes everything from 2001 to William S. Burroughs. Enjoy.

James Reich is the author of the novels Soft Invasions (December 2017), Mistah Kurtz! A Prelude to Heart of Darkness (March 2016), Bombshell (July 2013) and I, Judas (October 2011) published by Anti-Oedipus Press and Soft Skull Press. His account of the New Wave of British science fiction appears in Bloomsbury Publishing’s  Decades series: The 1960s. James is a regular contributor to Deep Ends: The J.G. Ballard Anthology and his work has been published by numerous international magazines. He is the founder and publishing editor of Stalking Horse Press, and a professor of philosophy and literature. James was born in England in 1971, and has been a resident of the US since 2009.

Note:  This episode marks the beginning of our new series on all things science fiction that fall outside the PKD universe, including discussions on PKD's contemporaries, award winners of the era, and anything else we, or you, might find interesting.

David must have done something right because author Barry Malzberg was willing to sit down for a lengthy phone conversation with him. In this interview, Barry leads David through his experiences with multiple authors including PKD, the in's and out's of the publishing industry of the 60s and 70s, and more. Also, don't forget to check out part 2 of our Barry Malzberg Spectacular where author James Reich joins David in an in-depth look at the award-winning novel Beyond Apollo, which garnered the first ever John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel.
