We're back! With our annual trek into the archives to read an old science fiction magazine, to see if and how our field has changed over the decades.

This time we time-travel to 1982, where we pick up the February 15th 1982 issue of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.

If you'd like to read along with us, you'll find the entire issue online courtesy of Luminist, here: https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/luminist/SF/ASI/ASI_1982_02.pdf

Back in episode 57, Colin and Phil recommended books and movies to each other. Now they act on those suggestions, reporting back with their findings. Will Phil appreciate Alan Dean Foster's Prism? Will Colin believe that you can journey to the Far side of the Sun? Join us as we travel by Toynbee Convector*

Join us for a trivia quiz bonanza! Joining the show today is Colin's co-host-from-another-podcast, Seth Heasley. Seth administers a deadly science fictional quiz! Phil is quaking in his sci-fi Moon boots.

At the time of recording, Colin and Seth had just returned from this year's World Science Fiction Convention, held in Seattle. So in this episode, they give their behind-the-scenes perspectives of what went on at the con: Colin as a volunteer camera operator and video director, and Seth as a Hugo Award nominee and panel moderator.
