It’s official, Dr. Amy H. Sturgis is the coolest, kindest, most absolute fun person I’ve ever met! Dr. Sturgis’s podcasts, essays, and college classes focus on the meaning, examination, and philosophies behind Star Wars, Star Trek, Tolkein, fandom, the history of science fiction and fantasy, and more. She is the EIC of Hocus Pocus Comics and a staffmember at StarShip Sofa. You can learn more about Dr. Sturgis’s work at her website amyhsturgis.com, and by following her on twitter at @drahsturgis .
Ugh, why did I sign up for a boring MBA when I could take Dr. Sturgis’s classes instead?
In this episode we talk about the history of ideas, growing up on Star Trek, the limitlessness of Star Wars, Qui Gon Jinn, free will, the Hero’s Journey, what it’s like to teach Science Fiction at the college level, fandom, fan family members, and more. This was the first time Amy and I met, and our conversation felt like a chat between friends who have known each other for years.
