SciFiScavenger | My NEW favourite SCIENCE FICTION author? @SciFiScavenger | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
It was my pleasure to speak to Chris Beckett a few days ago. We chatted about lots of things - short stories, Eric Brown, our early reading, Brian Aldiss, his influences, why he writes science fiction, some hints about the book he's currently writing, and loads more.

Note: unfortunately the audio on Chris's end is not great, I didn't notice during the recording, so it is what it is, I'm afraid.
