Shaun Duke, Trish Matson, and Paul Weimer join forces for our first ever Mining the Genre Asteroid subcast. In this special show, we’ll go back in time to lesser known or unfairly forgotten science fiction, fantasy, and horror from before 1980 to explore what wonders are buried in the annuls in time. In this episode, we look at James H. Schmitz’s The Demon Breed. (MGA is the brainchild of Paul Weimer, who, along with Trish, kindly demanded it be turned into a show!) Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
