Mike Hodel... KPFK... Radio.... I am now almost 66...oh my memories of this radio show. I was in Orange, California, on Maple Street, in a beautiful house...this show changed and inspired me. I was 17. I drove into LA on the Santa Ana Freeway. I met everyone on the show. Met Al Lewis, too... Discovered Jazz, theatre...ate at Siete Mares and flirted with the guapa waitress... KPFK and The Void... Some of my heroes there were also gorgeous...
As much as I dig the sombre, private interviews where he tries to talk us through his VALIS cosmology, this more pugnacious, public Dick is way more fun to listen to! But, at the end of the day, I'd listen to him talk about anything. Thanks for posting this gem!
Best interview I've heard of Dick's so far, the pace of it is so alive and vividly paced the way unaffected conversations that feel good to have should go. Thanks so much. This made my day. Mr Dick is teaching me more about writing than a single tawdry creative writing session i ever attended.
Don't bother with feeble minded folks. Philip K. Dick was something rarely will truly understand, he is beyond this reality and all you need to know is that whatever he wrote no only isn't science fiction it's not fiction at all. It's pure truth. Hard to discern, hard to understand, since he contradicts himself but if you comprehend his work, and read all of it and end with his exegesis than you will find yourself outside the black prison. Good luck getting out!
Science fiction.....sounds like fun.....but, can we for a moment, try and quantity the concept...science is a set of data that hopefully survives scrutiny....fiction is an idea that few can comprehend. So, science fiction has no boundaries outside of our willingness to try to understand it. I welcome anyone to wake up to their best potential.
Let`s have a nice talk here, folks. The topic is "Sci-Fi is dead. The quality of stories and the writing in general drops with each new year." What are your thoughts on this subject? Are we in the same situation like in the 70s?
What kind of accent does he have? It sounds almost country western. I would not have thought he had an accent like that. He almost has the same accent as famous bass player Jaco Pastorius. Anyway, Philip is not only one hell of a writer, but he had a mouthpiece on him too.
He died right before the huge success of the film Blade Runner. If he'd lived another couple decades, then he may have been put on a financial retainer by one or two producers or studios--his financial condition would have improved greatly, but he didn't live long enough. too bad.
If RU-vid would allow me to edit or remove this post, I would change "freedome" to a different word. Also I split an infinitive in my post which I'd like "to" change.

@@wanettarenay8215 Hi, the name's Phil and I'm with the San Francisco Police Department. I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind. Would you mind me using the Voight-Kampff machine on you for a moment?
Who has the rights to these old Hour 25 interviews? Mike Hodel died in the 1980s but the show continued, first with Harlan Ellison as the host for a year or so, then with J. Michael Stracynski for a couple years. Harlan chose Stracynski as his replacement but when Straczynski tried to choose his own replacement, Terry Hodel (Mike Hodel's now deceased divorced wife who still used his name) claimed that she was in charge and Joe had no such right, so he quit immediately. Joe was replaced with a host who was, I'm sorry, very bland with no real vision for the show's possibilities and the show continued to limp along for some years but wasn't what it had been when professional science fiction people were involved with it. Even if one thinks that Mike Hodel had the rights to his shows, and Harlan had the rights to his shows, it is still very complicated.

okyouknowwhatever he used amphetamines so he could write faster because in the 50s and 60s if you were going to survive solely by writing you had to crank those books out. No pun intended.
