00:01
my managing editor Emily Hockaday has
00:04
made a request I'm really bad at this
00:06
but if anybody here is tweeting or
00:10
mentioning us on Facebook or whatever we
00:13
could if they could if you could tag us
00:16
or tweet at us and azimoff's
00:19
that would be very much appreciated and
00:23
I have it you know so I am putting in
00:26
that word which I was worried I would
00:28
forget I'm going to say
01:00
okay okay let's tell them about my
01:06
birthday I think this was actually a
01:09
cute story thank you thank you so much
01:12
for that question
01:15
so is i working for us and he was pretty
01:19
dumb but really right out of college
01:21
pretty much and we used to have pretty
01:26
regular birthday celebrations for people
01:28
that cake or something but we had a I
01:31
had an inspiring idea it was but you
01:33
would have a mourning party for dying
01:36
because of happened that his birthday
01:38
was on a Tuesday and Tuesday was the day
01:39
that Isaac always came into the office
01:42
so this was right and I was so cool
01:46
until dying so they told I am we were
01:49
having a big meeting and we had I gotten
01:52
bagels and cream cheese for the meeting
01:54
and he knew that so I said but before
01:56
the meeting I said lesson and I ran to
01:58
us an ayah I really need these
02:00
interactions to bring to the major
02:01
please bow in the Xerox I gave a like
02:03
this huge back because I said that I do
02:05
believe it all and said please phone
02:07
their office and then come into the
02:08
meeting stone everybody was in the room
02:10
and then I owe the machine jammed I
02:15
couldn't do it all in her life
02:16
surprise and the nice thing wasn't that
02:20
was the only birthday party that Isaac
02:21
ever attended he was because he was
02:25
there I planned it because I knew even
02:27
begin and you know and I talked about
02:29
before he was he thought it was a great
02:31
idea so he had his breakfast with all of
02:34
us
02:35
nice birthday these over then among just
02:38
fun highlights at the office you got a
02:40
few forgotten does it come back to ya
02:52
all right through that's funny that's
02:55
like the Xerox isn't reading fun I think
02:57
I did me through their eyes that's why
02:59
they were behind a real question
03:03
[Music]
03:09
who do you folks think they're gonna win
03:12
Arnold Schwarzenegger robots from
03:15
Terminator or Isaac Asimov's robots with
03:22
the Three Laws of Robotics
03:33
well I don't I don't think any of them
03:35
really that that each of them are
03:37
literary devices and they serve their
03:39
purpose but as I mentioned before the
03:41
robots in emerging today really aren't
03:44
anything to do with not not only eyes
03:47
the most relaxed but most of the robots
03:49
of fiction they're they're literate but
03:52
like the same to Star Trek transporter
03:53
it's not a physical device it's a plot
03:56
device these were new memory devices
03:58
that that they served their purpose but
04:00
the real emergence of robots is going to
04:02
be a lot more complicated there's a lot
04:16
of use of Robotics in the military and
04:18
they have been dealing recently I have
04:21
seen articles dealing with the question
04:22
that the robots are really good but they
04:25
of course don't have a moral sense so
04:28
there have an ethical sense so they are
04:31
programmed at least at this point to
04:33
know you know child from you know a
04:38
soldier from the other side and so there
04:42
there is great concern about you know
04:44
having atrocities through and the
04:48
problem will be so obviously the program
04:51
we will only be as good as our
04:52
programmers and perfect and sadly the
04:59
positronic brain doesn't really exist so
05:02
so that isn't issues I mean you know I
05:04
think a lot of Pro biases take it
05:06
seriously they know why he had those
05:10
laws but whether they're actually able
05:13
to do anything with it it's up to
05:16
whoever buys the weapons to it they
05:18
could disable anything and you know
05:19
they're so so so yeah I don't know I
05:22
don't know but right now of course
05:23
robots are more just helpful devices but
05:27
it's still a concern they come up stuff
05:35
that seaspray some of the free ones to
05:36
me is the question what time is driving
05:38
vehicles and do they prioritize the
05:40
safety in the light of the driver of the
05:42
pedestrian where the person you have the
05:43
car and this thing they actually have to
05:45
decide and potentially lives like sure
05:47
different regulations about that so I do
05:51
think that that that is rather relevant
05:52
that's be coming up I do think that I
05:54
was right about that robots will not be
05:56
evil I must have a good reason to be he
06:00
has an enchanter meteor their car
06:11
it's trying to make that decision but
06:13
has this really control of I have so
06:19
little to do with the cars real feeling
06:22
for people who own the car you know just
06:24
because the mother is on the PTA board
06:27
doesn't give her more the higher points
06:29
and then the high-level management
06:32
person in the other car so they that was
06:35
it's very interesting it was a three
06:38
page story in banking but it had so much
06:41
into it exactly what you were saying and
06:43
of course all that I don't mean the
06:45
operative
06:46
but all of that thinking comes from the
06:49
verb you know right from the start of
06:51
thinking about robots
06:55
I took had this story in which they were
07:01
there would like a robot mosquitoes or
07:04
something roses
07:05
tiny tiny tiny that we're taking they
07:09
taking the place of pollinators and
07:11
things and we now have we now have
07:14
flying we now have flying things that
07:17
are the size of insects every day or so
07:24
my understanding is that they don't
07:29
outside environment lets people know
07:44
[Music]
07:50
that from the very beginning don't
07:53
follow them that's why things go wrong
08:00
what I'm every story and everything you
08:03
know and that to me when I first read
08:05
that article I read guard I said oh but
08:09
that should have been in the beta
08:10
testing you know don't call me the point
08:13
is is that the VIII hasn't made all the
08:15
rules writing the fault of the action is
08:17
not actually asked all right that's
08:19
better
08:19
it's just like the pedestrian
08:21
right away it doesn't matter yesterday
08:24
the video will look at the concept
08:27
though which is kind of falling out
08:28
favorite cardiothoracic pay that
08:31
students get tripped up could
08:32
participate in contributory negligence
08:35
like breaking the rules and like it
08:41
sounds like the software was written by
08:43
the legal department as long as we're
08:45
not responsible that's all that matters
09:02
[Music]
09:19
and also interestingly there wasn't
09:43
something so there were that already
09:47
existed and so but he was very happy
09:51
when it became the art department
09:54
so the first three issues is on the
09:56
cover and I think someone in the in the
10:02
press maybe it was Charlie Brown someone
10:04
said all of his faces showed this front
10:06
view and aside who the other side use
10:08
before that she wrote in the back I
10:11
think was that
10:13
he didn't think that was very funny but
10:15
he did mention it so he said it was very
10:17
happy when they shrunk him to a little
10:19
cameo in the letter and it was that way
10:25
for a couple of years maybe of them
10:27
together he did not find that we always
10:30
had this photo on the but he was not
10:36
unhappy to see well we do have a motion
10:47
oh yes we did and that was kind of
10:50
arcing back we had a bulky but act on
10:54
the tribute issue which we used a piece
10:58
of art that Mike Whalen beautifully
11:01
spire of Isaac and yeah there's a really
11:05
cute one really cute
11:07
he had a story I was about it's about
11:14
this really bad little boy and the
11:20
hardest did such a great job making the
11:23
kid it was a little kid like a nighttime
11:25
look really young when the hair was
11:27
ending up and everything and then Isaac
11:29
was like the inspiration for the growth
11:33
and he's like this cool robot I was
11:36
doing was just canvas the robots got my
11:39
child
11:42
that's a cute cover I don't remember the
11:45
third one
11:45
[Music]
11:48
oh right right that was the tribute one
11:51
but no okay yeah so you got a kick out
11:59
of it
11:59
one city song I think it was like so he
12:04
said taken aback by the moment the kid
12:06
because hip really mentioned she's just
12:07
beautiful Dodgers and then the key was
12:27
it was fun to work with him there were
12:29
lots of you know he'll tell us what he
12:32
really thought about some things you
12:34
know he had me it started with an editor
12:43
on hero when he was grumpy about
12:44
something of it I said you know dude I
12:47
think he didn't um his down a little and
12:49
so he did and then after that it's not
12:53
just oh man where we came in here or
12:56
anything he was worried those two
12:58
constant even have to be read it I said
13:01
well I we were living a leg
13:07
he had her read everything she thought
13:14
totally down sighs I said well I'll be
13:16
like so yeah so he so I did that but it
13:25
wasn't much you know always just like
13:27
sup Tyson cuz he really did it
13:29
what to be he was sober belated that but
13:35
he didn't know never it was like you
13:37
know a boxer it's a box of is into a
13:41
street fight they can be arrested
13:43
because their hands are weapon I mean if
13:46
they kill somebody hands it's different
13:48
but ordinary person does and I think
13:50
that Isaac you knew that
13:52
he's he could really be cunning if you'd
13:55
wanted to so he wasn't so he would write
13:57
postcards that said we really thought
14:00
and then he would tear the bottle throw
14:01
it away it might improve the nice
14:03
response so person okay then I'll take
14:18
one even one of his autobiography he did
14:20
say that he pretty much stopped reading
14:22
science fiction and really didn't think
14:24
that he had
14:25
taste in science picture so what was his
14:28
important it's very hands-on very
14:32
intentionally hands act one time he did
14:36
he keep been asked to do an apology and
14:40
off you go winners and he came in he
14:42
said I can't believe and he had random
14:45
it seemed really liked darlie's press
14:50
ENTER this is so incredible it feel it's
14:59
just luck baby good but you know
15:01
obviously his kind of his fiction is
15:03
still being read there at least the last
15:09
time I checked they still not had not
15:14
managed to put his fiction into digital
15:17
format I don't know if that's still the
15:18
case but but people are still buying his
15:23
books and supposedly there I've been
15:30
hearing for quite a while
15:31
know that there's going to be a
15:33
miniseries based on the foundation I
15:35
mean they came back to Chernobyl is very
15:37
solid right right so I think I keep
15:43
hearing that I haven't seen you know if
15:47
that's how I tune things like that not
15:48
happen well Jen hasn't been in charge
15:53
the estate for a very long time she
15:55
turned over to Robin so quite a few
15:57
years ago so Robin is in charge with the
16:01
estate but I've never very rarely
16:04
contacted
16:05
so I don't know I would have loved to
16:08
see and I hope they do it but it's I
16:13
keep people who are so we have two
16:16
Facebook pages we have a wonderful set
16:20
up several years ago by a fan of the
16:22
magazine and that actually has the most
16:23
number is it over three thousand members
16:26
and and has a fairly active
16:28
participation over maybe there is on it
16:31
and then the other one is our
16:33
professional one which we published it
16:37
was just so I think a lot of fun cuz we
16:39
publish a lot of things like our
16:40
interviews with authors and blog posts
16:46
they might write about stories they've
16:48
written or and just and just update to
16:52
the magazine and I try to put some of
16:54
that have a fan one but I've been on at
16:56
the same time since what spurred on and
16:59
then I forget to do it but but we do
17:02
have so it leaders very often if they
17:04
see an update on this foundation
17:06
miniseries they're always posting it so
17:08
I keep saying new updates but my 17 year
17:16
old hasn't told me it's coming and she
17:18
right she's right here on either all
17:20
things like in the meantime we will
17:25
actually highly recommend the BBC
17:27
foundation audio clock except that the
17:30
the actor were trained at the mayor of
17:33
term permanence summer Horton is played
17:36
with an upper-class English accent and
17:38
I'm sorry that character clearly as well
17:41
was thinking of as a
17:43
so that I didn't work the rest did I
17:46
hold my cards if you're listening to it
17:54
on your iPad I'm not mentioning any
17:55
spouses names here do not put it on top
17:59
it is very strange medicine to shuffle
18:06
but it is actually very good name I
18:08
think you can now buy it legitimately I
18:09
think the copy I bought even though
18:13
wasn't the world lose one going to be a
18:15
small estate but a later showed up in
18:17
Amazon credit of you reading your
18:39
magazine to tell us the story a story
18:55
[Music]
18:59
yeah that's an interesting one what's
19:01
interesting about that is that I always
19:04
tell people what I wanted to handle it
19:07
conventions that you know anyone can
19:11
sell me a story it really I don't even
19:13
look at cover letters until
19:16
with stories and I consider every story
19:18
that comes in as monsoon that's like 657
19:22
more stories a month it's a lot so a lot
19:24
of I lived through a lot of them but if
19:27
I something grabs my attention I put
19:30
aside to my time I learned slowly and
19:35
that story came in that you know I was
19:39
going to look right through it and it
19:41
stopped me and I was like whoa and so
19:43
then what happens when it stops being in
19:45
it but it do get around to the piano
19:47
make sure the skin sometimes to the end
19:49
they go whoa then it was great you know
19:52
the whole story really worked it is
19:54
about a marriage where one of the
19:59
partners is robot but it's very
20:04
interesting how it developed as the
20:06
story develops and it was very much has
20:11
to do with yeah I say the right this
20:14
realized Rowleys influence turned out
20:17
this woman is a kind of you know she's a
20:21
pharmacist in New Jersey and this is
20:24
perhaps her first sale or a very early
20:27
sale for her I never heard of her before
20:31
and it's just a really lovely story I
20:36
said the trans thing of white lies the
20:41
transition was my guess but I think
20:43
that's not what was but it is it's very
20:47
I do recommend that those I don't like
20:53
because her last name and and it's
20:56
interesting because of course of course
21:00
rope cuts are standards for human beings
21:04
and science fiction
21:06
a human condition but there's so much
21:11
you can do to explore that and the
21:13
stories it's much more interesting Lynne
21:15
if you rented The New Yorker just a
21:17
couple and they didn't have when one of
21:19
it wasn't a row what I say I read the
21:27
same story in The New Yorker but you
21:29
check out the really intriguing stuff
21:32
about you know AI design and everything
21:36
you just wouldn't sell me on it
21:41
but you usually wouldn't read it anew
21:43
because as I pointed out Barnes and
21:45
Noble
21:45
The New Yorker has to start with
21:47
something annoying and most of your
21:49
stories don't accept the two that you
21:50
chose to be read at the last I'll tell
21:59
you so we never know when it came to
22:32
writing authors
22:35
we're gonna come live close enough to
22:38
this money and nobody does but there I
22:41
did have to very willing people Sara
22:45
hipster great and Alan steel who had
22:58
story of a wonderful story set up wise
23:00
and with both of them one you know the
23:02
Hugo for the nebula for their story
23:04
their stories were well liked by many
23:06
people looking at me you know so but
23:11
because you'll be a Hugo Lord when you
23:12
start you - I'm dealing with I'm a major
23:16
you're not you know don't or just funny
23:28
even the Queen has some very serious
23:31
issues in and it was one of the funniest
23:33
stories when bread so so yes so both
23:38
stories flashed felt they were both kind
23:40
of downwards well they were also just
23:41
reading excerpts from the story they
23:43
were reading the part take the hook the
23:46
hook the kitchen into the story and then
23:49
in both cases the resolution whatever
24:03
they don't if they have they both have
24:07
interesting resolutions but so yeah so
24:11
they were both a little set but it's
24:13
ensure people came away so my thought
24:17
wasn't there but I had been rather than
24:21
a packaged they don't great job they
24:24
pulled up and he just acts the father's
24:26
books Sarah at that point only under
24:28
short story question out or not was no
24:31
and then another
24:34
and finds another told me they were very
24:39
pleased with the eating as far as they
24:41
were concerned they didn't care they
24:45
were very very happy they said oh this
24:47
is great a great turnout to fill the bag
24:49
so hopefully someday the a decade of
24:54
Hugo in the middle of one of these
24:55
stories for us website six magazine will
24:57
appear but progress
25:02
so we'll say right now is tentatively
25:06
scheduled for July but we'll see I do
25:12
have another apology coming office is
25:14
that this is for the first time I've had
25:18
2017 apologies I think maybe maybe I
25:22
should say 26 my very first anthology
25:26
that is not in some way connected to the
25:29
magazine and in fact as an original
25:31
anthology MIT press came to me and asked
25:36
me if I would do they've been doing a
25:39
series called twelve tomorrow's and they
25:42
said they've decided they wanted him
25:43
first time they've invited an editor
25:47
there are also first woman to ever be
25:49
asked be it and so I have in fact I have
25:55
to finish up my going over the copy and
25:58
manuscript and answering the copy end of
26:01
his questions this weekend but that book
26:05
is scheduled to come out I believe in
26:07
July and I believe that what really
26:08
really but essential so it's not called
26:12
exactly it's called it's called twelve
26:26
entanglements tomorrow's friends
26:32
tomorrow's friends lovers and families
26:36
so it's a collection of its its eleventh
26:40
it's ten stories about relationships of
26:45
the future and technology and then
26:48
there's an interview with Nancy kress
26:49
and some really
26:52
Russian artist Tatiana so anyways that's
27:04
the book so this has nothing this is
27:06
just my little advertisement but
27:08
hopefully I will have a book watch for
27:10
that and it will really be there yes but
27:16
I think we do publish a lot of stories I
27:20
still see Isaac suppose and I see a lot
27:22
of people alive even young people who
27:26
will say to me oh I found your magazine
27:28
because I was just as much a magazines
27:34
but because they were looking for Isaac
27:36
Asimov and so I didn't his are
27:39
association with him still really works
27:42
for us and and I always enjoy it when
27:46
stories when I get a chance to do robot
27:49
robot type story I don't think I've ever
27:53
really had enough of my inventory a lot
27:55
like a special issue or something but I
27:59
and also readers want a salad they don't
28:02
want everything to be the same but I
28:04
always enjoyed that I love seeing his
28:06
influence on the fiction of several
28:10
years ago not long after I started
28:12
editing so it's quite a few years ago
28:13
now I got this terrific story from
28:16
Robert Reed and it was so I can't think
28:20
of that title but it was playing with
28:21
nightfall and it was so inspired by
28:23
nightfall so I was actually and go to
28:26
the estate and I had I didn't have a lot
28:30
in my image
28:31
that's it so I have the world but I went
28:33
to the estate and they gave you the
28:35
right side reprinted I broke I mean I've
28:38
got a reprinted nightfall and they've
28:40
added along with Bob's version of my
28:43
father which was a fun thing to do but I
28:45
like being able that my latest editorial
28:48
which I think there's pralines my flash
28:50
by the way is called happy birthday
28:54
Isaac Asimov well maybe there's one room
29:15
[Music]
29:18
give away your rights to your photograph
29:20
to Bob so it's very interesting book and
29:24
yeah I think you know interesting that I
29:28
think it's easier to get copies of his
29:31
work than st. Clark's for the most part
29:34
I don't know about my leg it's it's kind
29:38
of better actually uh I can lease
29:40
pointed out in the early days of people
29:41
it's when he was analyzing it that a
29:43
Heinlein was almost unknown and he bolts
29:45
that has changed everything
29:49
what foreigners fiction recently I have
29:53
found but there are so many things yeah
29:55
well what the Isaac always believed was
29:57
that as long as people who are willing
29:59
to pay him something if it has to be a
30:01
lot but as long as that he was always
30:04
very happy about me having this work to
30:06
reprint it because he felt that we'd get
30:09
well he liked people to read his work
30:11
but also he saw the the more it was out
30:15
there and the more people would be
30:17
interested in his next book and he and
30:22
finally I see had sort of the exact
30:24
opposite attitude which was that you
30:26
know we tried to you know they wanted
30:30
thousands of dollars for stories if you
30:32
wanted to reprint them so I think that's
30:36
one reason that I think is so the
30:38
material is made accessible for so long
30:40
I don't know anymore but I don't she's
30:43
alive and certainly in the early days
30:47
and I think and certainly as I say I
30:52
keep fighting people who I keep hearing
30:55
from new readers so I think he'd be
31:03
happy he needed to be the most famous
31:07
person you know thirty years after he
31:10
died but I think that he really liked he
31:12
would be very happy that people are
31:13
still meeting and talking about him you
31:15
know with that introduction to the spy
31:24
watch that might be a little harder fine
31:36
so the whole I'm a about electronic
31:39
publishing we are a mixed marriage I am
31:42
heavy ugly the people ups but my wife
31:44
actually likes what she doesn't like
31:46
pointed tree this Wikipedia is very coy
31:53
about as well circulation in electronic
31:56
form for print edition you can actually
32:00
see it on fiction mags about the
32:06
circulation further analog Asimov's and
32:09
fantasy and science fiction and people
32:11
really shocked these are people in
32:15
fiction magazine people some someone
32:24
named Barry Goldberg and so many Robert
32:26
Silverberg
32:31
we're just shocked but the figures are
32:36
so small enough I mean the figures as I
32:46
say it's the way that all so far this
32:48
also you can you know send us that
32:55
issues to convention or you know to
32:59
something an event and people look at
33:02
them you can't
33:07
militias material but so we're still
33:12
looking and you have to keep in mind
33:13
that those print subscribers a large
33:18
this is our most proc subscriptions are
33:23
people who they subscribe to us directly
33:26
online
33:26
they shouldn't they so we get a hundred
33:30
percent
33:32
and ER and then you just have to pay
33:36
experiences you know and the rest of it
33:38
we get to keep whereas you know sold
33:43
through a newsstand which we have to
33:47
split that distributor and the news and
33:51
you know by the time to get our kind of
33:53
terms it's not very much and you do
33:56
actually the new step to really exist to
33:59
a large extent partly ask it again it's
34:01
not no we're not making a fortune on
34:04
thick wait don't think so so finally our
34:07
digital we're doing but I do send the
34:10
fingers to locust you know sort of been
34:15
historically we don't have to we have to
34:17
print our right our circulation the
34:24
figures which is unfair they don't tell
34:31
you how many people are paid so okay
34:34
they're all listening from they're all
34:35
reading for free and they're listening
34:38
for free but they're not actually paying
34:40
their the number of people actually are
34:42
paying for Clark's world or you know so
34:48
strange strange rises as a fundraiser
34:51
and they raise thirteen well it used to
34:55
be thirteen company it's more now what's
34:57
here and that pays for their editorial
35:01
cost which is pretty low compared to our
35:03
editor across but that doesn't pay their
35:06
own paying salaries it's all volunteer
35:09
labor I actually get paid a salary I get
35:14
paid
35:15
Fitz I am patient I'm I have health care
35:19
if I I have you know I have have an
35:23
office that I I just I mean I don't go I
35:26
have an office that's and I find Cheryl
35:31
my office I mean it's a real job it's
35:36
been a terrific career I get something
35:38
sense you know you know sent me to
35:40
Ireland for but you know they know it's
35:51
a real they're real funny the magazine
35:52
is still supporting my salary my
35:55
assistant she's half on the magazine
35:58
enough on analog and and certainly the
36:02
costume engineering there are cost for a
36:07
digital magazine it doesn't just such as
36:09
mannequin know so we made a very healthy
36:15
fitness and you have to have been
36:16
factory old days yes we have far more
36:17
subscribers and many of them work great
36:19
but so a lot of them came through these
36:22
kind of yeah so just their in-house the
36:28
room it became so little so we used to
36:31
get 11 percent without alliances so
36:34
they've been to the point where
36:35
publishers very house where the remit
36:36
cost you were getting less from a
36:39
subscription from functionary house it
36:40
cost to produce the magazine so there
36:44
wasn't so just because you had we have
36:46
these very of flame in subscription
36:48
there's a maybe more in the black than
36:52
we are today
36:53
yes I didn't we didn't have and then we
36:56
also have these kind of reputable people
37:02
there were a lot of them and this heard
37:05
nothing except to them again in and then
37:07
they would they would go to the
37:12
subscription
37:15
20 we always wanted those officials
37:17
because we didn't feel that are we here
37:19
should be encouraged but we would try to
37:22
get them to subscribe back because
37:25
through us but now a lot of it is done
37:29
directly so there's some are print
37:30
subscriptions are really quite the
37:34
digital art very healthy very healthy
37:36
it's a different brake zone but we don't
37:51
when I was thinking of doing with them
37:54
they get all the money for this
37:56
subscription and what happened is when
37:59
if the renewal you get the money out of
38:01
renewal and first 80% of the people who
38:05
subscribed to the Publishers Clearing
38:07
House never renewed so that so you're
38:09
screwed so what you're looking at now
38:19
and you see those figures yeah they're
38:21
not very exciting but they are all solid
38:23
they're all you know that we're
38:26
constantly we try you guys don't come by
38:31
and visit us yeah yeah that's great we
38:36
do and that's a lot further right over
38:41
there
38:52
and our table is always incredibly
38:54
popular and this year we got a deduction
38:57
to travel from Maryland to come Florida
38:59
we've had poverty come one year and
39:02
we've had more local people I mean Tom
39:06
Carter would come from Philadelphia so
39:08
we often have authors there and it's a
39:13
fun afternoon so I think we've seen some
39:16
you know it's we can't do that in every
39:18
city with another presence but it helps
39:21
you know when we do that and we send out
39:25
a choose to comment in various places
39:29
that ask for using up with smaller
39:33
issues so yeah it's not an easy industry
39:49
magazine extra isn't easy for anyone but
39:52
we're we are still profitable so and you
39:57
know we're still paying real salaries to
39:59
a real editor you know who do not say
40:01
that the others are real but I'm getting
40:03
a salary paid for when I do it I think
40:04
every editor should be favored so I
40:08
think and you know
40:10
Illinois so yeah it's it's working out
40:19
fine right now we're so grateful for all
40:23
work that you do thank you so much mrs.
40:26
Mike recover through in this regard I'm
40:30
not sure that also publishing correctly
40:33
kicked in this case but I found several
40:36
isomers who just leave it interaction in
40:39
the tiny villages library near all table
40:43
never heard of this name it's a small
40:45
town in Ukraine where I was thinking my
40:48
my kitchen is little southern with
40:55
people just save my vacation because
40:58
they found several books of his and
41:01
below there was chemistry of life and
41:04
clinicals of life published in 1954 the
41:09
reason I'm reading paragraphs from his
41:11
book which were published in 50s in six
41:14
is the my students nowadays that even
41:17
after six years 70 years since he wrote
41:20
these words they still picture and they
41:24
still modern and they still have a part
41:26
on people so thank you very much holding
41:29
this flap in windy feds and fiction and
41:48
and it was a so now it's much better of
42:41
course if you invited check science
42:56
fiction society weekend fun was stinky
43:02
but that was fine everybody and they
43:06
were interesting because they were
43:07
writers and they were editors and
43:11
translators and I have really great
43:13
comes with a couple of translators they
43:15
were saying how they they were always
43:19
like - but the the check W in him
43:23
thank everyone you're throwing up the
43:25
exact same science fiction books go
43:27
there when the only ones available then
43:29
after the walk so you know it's not the
43:52
same everywhere but yes we have to
43:54
revenge this piracy in India lost people
43:57
love us in India Iran which I get so
43:59
many submissions about when you talk
44:02
about the subscription figures they're
44:03
pregnant really time because it's our
44:05
magazine immediately and this is true in
44:14
other countries too
44:16
and so yeah Reach is certainly farther
44:21
than any circulation figures show sadly
44:27
when I was doing science fiction
44:29
Chronicles to have what 30 subscriptions
44:31
in Sweden and it dwindled away and what
44:34
it was was through some guy he was
44:35
getting it and then I'm reading
44:37
translating in Swedish and publishing
44:39
everything and so why why do they have
44:41
to subscribe to my money get it for free
44:44

45:12

46:10
photo in here maybe what anyone so look

stay famous how gracious there were so
46:40
fat has they actually said in your
46:42
original you know not the only great to
46:44
know but a high-resolution so it turned
46:48
out what I had I'd realizing in the
46:50
background there was some guy over no
46:56
it's not there because they let me and
46:57
they let gave me permission to black out
46:59
all that more like I'm sure you do I
47:17
just think this is one that I was given
47:18
your pictures of Sheila with Isaac I
47:29
don't know I think it's the only one you
47:32
know as before the days I could try to
47:33
explain them by their like you do not
47:38
have pictures of you but this one was
47:46
mainly it's so great yes this was fun I
47:50
wanted to reprint if you want you with
47:53
the attorney you would know why I wanted
47:54
to use the cover from a party there was
47:58
a 40th anniversary edition of temple in
48:01
the sky but oh my god I try to get in
48:04
touch with Doubleday and it's like you
48:05
have to send a written request and then
48:08
wait three months now of course I was
48:10
doing it a week
48:13
so we went with our cartoon video that
48:16
we've had for years as much so was there
48:19
lost not mine I wasn't the home you know
48:21
you know I was actually at comic-con and
48:25
trying to work it out I went to talk and
48:27
you me the work there and they're all
48:28
like Oh wish me been out anyways it's
48:32
there's so much fun to come here today
48:34
hope you all subscribe if you aren't
48:37
already subscribe you don't get the
48:44
digital subscription that's right no we
48:46
know that's another thing so we can't so
48:49
we can to our friend subscribers we can
48:51
you know send something you know we have
48:54
on occasion done oh I think some people
48:58
send us their email to the print so we
49:02
did laughs to send out a newsletter if
49:05
they every kind did that again but they
49:06
said I finally newsletter with a lot of
49:09
upcoming event information and but we
49:15
can't do that with the digital you know
49:17
the Amazon they keep that out close to
49:20
their chest an Apple to this to little
49:23
part of the strategy you know if I don't
49:24
like it
49:24
yeah I wish they know I don't think any
49:26
publisher does but you know that's
49:29
I think that many publishers would like
49:33
something in the magazine saying for a
49:35
special treat or something said that's
49:37
your email address yeah but you know
49:46
it's like 36 the Americas what a special
49:50
story he says here you know it goes yes
49:53
well we can have yeah that's an
49:58
interesting please ways to try but yeah
50:06
so I won't be here for the centennial
50:09
but be interested I mean that the
50:12
Centennial the Bicentennial is what I
50:13
want to say like five but this is
50:18
