Area 512
Hello and welcome to Area 512. I’m your host Alicia Postigo bringing to you from the Texas Hill Country aliens, wormholes and other interstellar creatures. In this podcast I will review science fiction and fantasy books, movies and shows as I read them or watch them, whichever the case. There is no specific schedule but I will post at least once a month.Warning: I swear, I express my opinion sometimes political, I talk in a direct manner.
