About this episode
A Rare Glimpse at a Legend Before the Phenomenon
In this newly restored 1996 conversation from Tony Tellado’s original radio program — co?hosted with Ernest Lilley — George R.R. Martin joins the show just as A Game of Thrones is beginning its journey into the world. Long before the global phenomenon, before the adaptations and cultural tidal wave, Martin speaks with the candor and enthusiasm of a writer who knows he’s building something ambitious but has no idea how far it will reach.
This archival episode, now presented on Exploring Humanity Through Sci?Fi, offers a remarkable snapshot of Martin’s creative philosophy at a pivotal moment in his career.
