Episode#127: Sci-Fi Hall of Fame Stories Discussion Panel #1 Martian Odessey by Stanley G. Weinbaum

In 1970 Avon Books published a landmark anthology “Science
Fiction Hall of Fame” featuring 16 classic short stories that
represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on
by the members of the new (at the time in the late 60s)
organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series,
I will be joined by a panel of different guests to break down
these stories and talk about the authors in the book.





In this episode, I am joined by two returning guests. First up is
the Hugo award-winning fan writer Cora Buhlert who knows her
Science Fiction. Steve Davison is the current owner and publisher
of one of the longest-running Science Fiction magazines Amazing
Stories. Because this is the first episode we talk a lot about
the make-up of the book and the process editor Robert Silverberg
used to put the book together.





The story we are covering is the 1934 classic “A Martian Odessey
by Stanley G. Weinbaum. This story is considered a game-changer
that changed Science Fiction forever. Don’t have the story to
read before you listen? I got you. So use the link below to read
the story before listening. Or listen to an audio version of the
story on YouTube
