On the \u2018Cast is one of the more interesting people we have had on in a very long while. So interesting, in fact, that we began talking in the pre-show and quite frankly, once the show began, I forgot\u00a0 to introduce him. Shahid Mahmud<\/a> is the <\/span>creator of the SF\/Fantasy imprint Phoenix Pick.<\/a> The catalog now includes reprints by Heinlein, Niven, de Camp and many other iconic figures of the genre. We had one hell of a discussion that just barely began to pique the interest of Commander Cam and myself on a myriad of topics.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does a young child in Pakistan get hooked on Star Trek and science fiction? How does one give up a lucrative and successful career in Financial Management to open a publishing house? We also spoke about the release of Ben Bova\u2019s final book \u201cPower Challenges<\/a>\u201d and how he came to publish it.This \u2018Cast is filled\u00a0 with amazing stories and the surety of many more to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Come listen and enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>\nhttp:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast485.mp3<\/a><\/audio>
