The Two Gay Geeks have a chat with Ira Nayman, editor and author at Amazing Stories Magazine. He tells us how he got into writing and what he writes and then we chat about the Amazing Stories Magazine and the current and legacy publication.

Ira has produced the pilot for a radio series based on stories from the first two ARNS books; “The Weight of Information, Episode One” can be heard on YouTube.<br /><br />In another life (but still within this incarnation) Ira has a Masters degree in Media Studies from The New School for Social Research which was conducted entirely online.
