Interviewed in ASTROLABE

Okay, this one’s real cool. My good friend Aidan Moher picked my brain about sports, genre fiction, and the intersection of sports & genre fiction over at Astrolabe, his newsletter:

“Fandom is fandom!” Schalter said.

“I know it’s hard to believe. Growing up, ‘jocks vs. nerds’ was a cultural norm reinforced by literally every TV show and movie. And sure enough, the meatheads I saw in the bleachers didn’t seem to have anything in common with snarkier-than-thou comic-shop denizens.

“But I also couldn’t help but notice: Arguments about the best quarterback of all time were indistinguishable from those about the best Star Trek captain.”

Aidan’s doing some really cool stuff with Astrolabe, integrating his love of genre fiction, video games, tech geek stuff, and living that #dadlife. If you like anything I do, you’ll probably like anything he does. Paying subscribers will get the fullllll transcript (we went long)!
