Invaders From Planet 3
Welcome to Invaders From Planet 3, the podcast where we talk about science fiction, fantasy, and all points in between.
Each episode we'll talk with authors and others connected to speculative fiction about the books, short stories, movies, TV shows, radio plays, or comics that made them fall in love with the genre. We'll also discuss their approach to their craft, what's good in sf today, and a galaxy of other topics.
