S&L Podcast – #89 – What Kind of Fantasy Again?

We do it all in this episode, from congratulating grand masters, to debating the powers of the mind, to talking about sexy fantasy.  Hopefully that last is not too shocking.

Hi Tom & Veronica,
I've enjoyed listening since I picked up on it last fall. Keep up the good work.
On your last podcast, an email mentioned On Basilisk Station, the first book of the Honor Harrington series. You may be interested that infomyth.com has the first ten books of the Honor Harrington series in ebook form available for free download. They are presented in only lit and rtf formats, but since there is no DRM, I converted them to epub using calibre.

Not really feedback, but I love both authors and found the interview really interesting.
