Starship Sofa interviews Andy Hedgecock of Interzone
In (the mammoth) episode 60 of Starship Sofa, the UK SF podcast, Tony and Ciaran talk about Interzone (amongst other tangental ramblings of course). Tony also interviews Andy Hedgecock who is on the editorial board of Interzone. His response to the question of which stories are chosen is very interesting, he emphasises innovation and story telling. Interesting listening if you want to know what goes on behind the slush pile at Interzone.
As ever Tony and Ciaran are entertaining, and talking from the perspective of real grass roots SF fans. Tony ventured the opinion that people were more likely to buy Interzone on a spur of the moment decision if they saw it on the shelf in WH Smiths than fork out the money for a 6 month subscription. The problem is of course that not all WH Smiths stock Interzone, so the suggestion was made to go to your local store and ask them to stock it. Which seems like an excellent idea.
