Eating the Fantastic

Scott Edelman

I've been going to science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comic book conventions since I was 15, and I've found that while the con which takes place within the walls of a hotel or convention center is always fun, the con away from the con—which takes place when I wander off-site with friends for a meal—can often be more fun. In fact, my love of tracking down good food while traveling the world atte... more

  • Tore into Tacos

    I came to this pod as I had admired the artist/author/good human from a kindred interest but didn’t know his background or art. This was wonderfully produced and Scott was prepared, passionate and sincere in his interest and questions - super great. I genuinely learned and enjoyed - great pacing and thoughtful conversations and reflections. 10/10 would recommend and have already

  • Great fun

    I love Scott’s interviews with old-timey comics creators. He was very much a part of that scene, beginning when he was a teenager in the 1970’s.

    More importantly, he is interested in the stories that his old colleagues have to tell. Scott doesn’t work in comics anymore, but his affection for the subject matter and the ... more

  • Great idea!

    Scott Edelman (former writer for Marvel Comics, editor for several sci-fi magazines and current short story writer) has created a podcast where the setting is various resturants across the world and his guests (generally a writer/author or someone from the sci-fi/comic world) sit down with Scott and have a conversation. It is a very informal way to conduct an interview. This is a great idea and I can't beleive that someone had not thought of this before! I have an hour commute to work and this ... more
