"Most utopias are terribly boring. Why? Because nothing naughty happens in a utopia. And science fiction is always full of naughty things happening. You may think science fiction writers are for technology - and I think from the top of our heads, we're for technology - but underneath that, we fear it. So things are always going wrong in science fiction novels"

Fantastic! Plenty to love in there, but I especially enjoyed the argument about fanzines. And cosplay in 1979!
Inspired me to dig around for more episodes, which I couldn't find but it did lead me to this, which has a heap of photos from the event:
