  • Geekdoom’s Dynamic Duo!

    Patrick Hester and Tracy Townsend do a great job of interviewing some of the greatest authors in speculative fiction. The podcast covers all sorts of speculative fiction media, including movies, books, television, and more. I find it very informative and entertaining, and I think you will too! Patrick has vast experience in podcasting, and this shows in the high production values. Audio is excellent quality and clear.
