Video and Podcast Resources On Philip K. Dick
As you may or not know, I’m a big Dickhead and have been for decades. I’m not running myself down here. That would be the case, if I was using a lower-case “d” for the term I just labeled myself with. But with the upper-case “D”, what that means is that I’m a fan of the great, and deeply philosophical, science fiction writer Philip K. Dick.
I’ve produced a number of video and podcast resources on some of his works, and plan to do many more. These are all from my Speculative Fiction Studies series, so they range from 10-20 minutes long (videos are slightly longer than corresponding podcast episodes). They are all intended to help you get a deeper understanding of what is going on in Dick’s novels and discussions.
Here are what I have at present.
