iTunes podcast interview with George R.R. Martin

OnlineAudio

iTunes, the directory distributing podcasts, has finally got one of its own. It’s called Meet The Author. They’ve got interviews with Steven Colbert and Alan Alda but here’s the one that attracted my ear…

“George R.R. Martin, the best-selling author of the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, is also an award-winning writer of short fiction in a variety of genres, including science fiction, fantasy, and horror. In this exclusive interview, Martin discusses Dreamsongs, the author’s collection of short stories from the past 30-plus years. He also discusses favorite characters, the influence of Hollywood, the meaning of ‘the heart in conflict,’ and more.”
