Space, monsters, and wooden desks, oh my! Author David Annandale joins the crew to answer the following question: What SF/F properties do you think should be taught? We discuss books, short stories, film, and much more (plus, there’s a little discussion of some recent films, such as Oblivion). Feel free to leave a comment with your own suggestions!
We hope you enjoy the episode!
