Prairie Dog writes,

David Bar-Kirtley and his guest take us on a deep dive into topics related to science fiction and fantasy.

The format varies between interviews where David talks to a creator such as an author or other

luminary of the field, and discussion groups where David and a panel of people discuss a topic

or subject area.

David is certainly one of the best prepared podcasters in the business, always ready with a fairly complete understanding of the topic or of the work of the interviewee,

Geek's guide is a treasure for the field of science fiction and fantasy and has an extensive bat catalog well worth exploring.

So big thanks again to Prairie Dog and Ghost Hornet for their support.
