ISBW 22.19
After a heartbreaking Q&A session at a recent convention, I felt the need to say something that’s cold and honest. And that is about the magic bullet.
Shorter episode, the last one before worldcon. And since I’m posting it after worldcon, I cut out a lot of the “see me at worldcon” bits—also because no one saw me because I got covid.
We catch up in a few days with this week’s interview with Isaac Green, then we’re back on track with recording!
