Rick Jackson, President of the Science Fiction Oral History Association (SFOHA), announces the launch of a new podcast, The Space Dog Podcast, which is the organization’s official podcast.
The first two episodes are now available. Episode #1 “is from 1976 and features Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Lester del Rey, Frederik Pohl, and Gordon R. Dickson. That’s four Science Fiction Grand Masters. Yes, we pulled out the big guns for this one. They are all featured in a one-hour show called The Ballantine Science Fiction Hour. It’s quite fun to hear these masters shoot the you-know-what.”
The second episode is from the other end of the age spectrum. According to Jackson, “I decided to illustrate that the SFOHA isn’t just about old recordings. It’s also about making new recordings. On October 28th, Scott Westerfeld was at my local Borders Books and was gracious enough to allow me to record him.”
SFOHA is a non-profit dedicated to the recorded history of Science Fiction. Founded in 1975, its “ongoing mission is to capture our future historical legends (both Fan and Pro) on tape for other generations to enjoy and understand. SFOHA does recordings at conferences and in private and especially appreciates opportunities to record interviews.”
