As part of our catching up process, we’re going to post notices for the past several interviews (which were never announced in the blog). We’ll put direct links in the blog posts – they are available from the Archive page.
No promises, but we hope to overhaul the whole site soon to make it far easier to navigate.

Hello to everyone, sorry we’ve been so lax about updating things since Worldcon. 2009 was, in many ways, a rough year for the Fast Forward gang. We’re hoping, however, that we can catch up on posts soon, and that 2010 will be a better year. The (already terribly late) January show is being edited right now, and should be available soon.
We’re also hoping for some upgrades to the show this year, time and money permitting. Let us know what you would like to see on Fast Forward by emailing us at producers@fast-forward.tv.
Best wishes to all,
Kathi Overton
Associate Producer
Most of the Fast Forward Production Team at Worldcon 2009
