Author Scott Edelman checks in from West Virginia. We talk about how the pandemic has derailed his podcast, Eating the Fantastic, after 120 episodes, all the conventions that have been cancelled and how much he misses them (and why Readercon is his fave), the solace he takes from Middlemarch, the books he’s hoping to get to now that he’s not reading for pod-guests, whether his zombie fiction has prepared him for the current situation, the joys of light opera, and more. Give it a listen! And go listen to Eating the Fantastic!
You can listen to all these COVID Check-In episodes at The COVID-19 Sessions.
