I. O9 presents the Geek's Guide to the galaxy. And here are your hosts, John Joseph Adams and David Bar

Kirtley.

Hello and welcome to episode 38 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Hi, this is John Joseph Adams.

I'm the editor of Several Anthologies such as Brave New Worlds and The Way of the Wizard. I also edit Fantasy magazine and Light Speed magazine and

the first year of Light Speed magazine is going to be collected all into an anthology which

comes out in November. It's called Light Speed Year One.

And I'm David Bar Curley.

I'm the author of many short stories including The ontological factor

about a nervous philosophy student who finds himself in a house full of doorways to other worlds.

The story will be appearing in the September-October issue of Cakeda magazine.

And our guest today is Ken Denmede. He's the editor of the Geek Dad blog on wire.com, and is the author of the best-selling book, Geek Dad,

awesomely Geeky Projects for Dads and Kids to Share.

He's followed that up with two more Geek Dad books, The Geek Dad's Guide's Weekend Fun, which just came out.

In the upcoming, The Geek Dad's Book for Aspiring Mad Scientists,

which focuses on science fair projects.

Okay, so let's get to our interview. All right, so we're here with Ken Denne Meado.

Welcome to the show.

Glad to be here, guys.

Thanks for having me.

Okay, so first question, were you born a geek or did something happen in your life to set you on that path?

Well, you know, it's a tough question. I think the genes were there.
