I Don't Get it Podcast Episode 6 - Fresno Science Fiction and Fantasy Writer's Group

Before doing this episode I had never heard of Fresno Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Group but they've been around for a few years and have recently put out an anthology of some of their members writings. Regardless of if you're into Sci-Fi literature or not, they've got some good things to say about writing in Fresno and the strengths that can come from working with a group of dedicated individuals eager to help each other out.

I talked with Chris, the founder, and some members, Steve, Rob and an unfortunately very loud computer system.
