This episode of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy is brought to you by the Avram Davidson Universe.

A new podcast devoted to the works of acclaimed fantasy and science fiction author Avram Davidson.

Davidson, winner of the Hugo Award, the Edgar Award, and three-time winner of the World's Fantasy Award,

has been called the greatest American short story writer of the 20th century by Michael Swanwick.

Davidson was born on April 23rd, the same day as Shakespeare, and season 3 episode 8 of the Avram Davidson Universe

Then stick around after the story as host Seth Davis discusses the legacy of Avram Davidson with special guest Ben Railton,
