Joe R. Lansdale was the Guest of Honor at Fantasycon XV in Birmingham, UK. A friend of mine recorded one of the Fantasycon sessions with Joe on September 15, 1990. The interview is pretty funny, as Joe is his ownself during the session. The interview was hosted by Stephen Gallagher and Stephen Jones.
I cleaned up the recording quite a bit, removing most of the tape hiss. What's left is pretty clean.
The interview is about 41 minutes long. I have made it available in both RealAudio and MP3 formats, with different encodings, resulting in different file sizes. Pick the size that best suits your connection!
