It’s been more than three months since I met with Michael Dirda<\/a> to record the last — though it would be more accurate to instead call it the most recent — face-to-face episode of Eating the Fantastic. Since then, I also shared two episodes recorded remotely — with Sarah Pinsker<\/a> and Justina Ireland<\/a> — each with its own special reason for allowing me to step beyond this podcast’s meatspace culinary mandate. <\/p>\n

But because it still seems unsafe out there for a guest to meet with me within the walls of the restaurant, you and I are now about to sequester together, just as we did four episodes ago, when we sheltered in place<\/a>, and two episodes back, when we practiced social distancing<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Thirty questions remained from my original call to listeners and previous guests of the show, and this time I managed to get through all of them. I did my best to give intelligent responses to Annalee Flower Horne<\/a>, Daryl Gregory<\/a>, Michael Dirda<\/a>, Patrick Freivald<\/a>, Kaaron Warren<\/a>, Paul Kirchner<\/a>, Sam J. Miller<\/a>, Erik T. Johnson<\/a>, Ursula Marcum<\/a>, Nalo Hopkinson<\/a>, Marv Wolfman<\/a>, Glenn Ricci<\/a>, Elisabeth Massie<\/a>, Scott H. Andrews<\/a>, Sunny Moraine<\/a>, Chen Quifan<\/a>, Brian Keene<\/a>, Vanessa Rose Phin<\/a>, Phillip Beadham, Jack Dann<\/a>, and Xia Jia<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I answered questions about whether my early days in fandom and early writing success helped my career, which anthology I’d like to edit if given the chance, what different choices I wish I’d made over my lifetime, what I predict for the future of food, how the pandemic has affected my writing, if anything I’ve written has ever scared me, whether writer’s block is a reality or a myth, which single comic book I’d want to own if I could only have one, how often I’m surprised by something a guest says, the life lessons I learned from Harlan Ellison, and much more.<\/p>\n
