And here we are with the third episode of The Back Half podcast and other episode of “Flashback,” examining the science fiction, fantasy, and horror writing that shaped me as a kid. This time I’m looking at the August 1981 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. I also dig a little deeper in the “why” behind this project. There are some serious topics in here but I promise we’re all going to have fun doing this!
