Uncanny Magazine Podcast

Michael Damian Thomas

Booking Overview

A monthly literary magazine podcast featuring science fiction and fantasy fiction, poetry, readings, and interviews with authors whose work appears in the magazine. Agencies could credibly pitch published speculative-fiction authors, poets, and writers with relevant books or short fiction; booking is likely medium difficulty because interviews appear tied to the magazine’s curated contributors rather than being a broad open-invitation guest format.
