“When it comes to fantasy, science fiction, and their many siblings and cousins, no resource is more valuable or entertaining than ‘Fictional Frontiers’. On-line and on air, it is by far the most comprehensive portal into the worlds of the magical, mystical, and mysterious. Unlike other, similar endeavors, ‘Fictional Frontiers’ satisfies not only with its breadth but its immediacy and depth. Featuring interviews with those close to projects (rather than hangers-on who report on rumor and innuendo) and guests who offer insight, each episode of Fictional Frontiers opens new windows and provides food for thought. Moderated by Sohaib Awan, who matches intelligence and enthusiasm with a pleasant radio voice, ‘Fictional Frontiers’ is a labor of love that never disappoints.”

“I have done several interviews with ‘Fictional Frontiers’, and they have always been immensely positive experiences. Sohaib is the “holy grail” of interviewers, always prepared and asking thoughtful, intelligent questions that challenge the interviewee, but in a comfortable space. One of the interviews was on the floor of New York Comic-Con, and the background noise was atrocious, but they went above and beyond to edit and clean up the audio and ensure listeners had the highest quality experience. I was really impressed with that. I’m looking forward to doing the show again some time.”

“Sohaib and ‘Fictional Frontiers’ provide the serious look at genre art and entertainment that is so lacking and so important in mainstream media. He not only has an understanding of what is going on but why it matters. ‘Fictional Frontiers’ is breaking ground each week by intelligently talking about what entertains and moves us and why we are passionate about it. He gets the best guests talking about the best parts of popular culture in a conversational way. It all makes for must listen content.”

“Sohaib (with his team at ‘Fictional Frontiers’) is a great interviewer, but, even more than that, is a pure entertainer.

He brings all of these elements together to create fantastically insightful interviews that are a pleasure to listen to – and be a part of.”

“I don’t know how he does it, but week after week Sohaib reaches into my brain and pulls out a list of the creative people I want to hear from, then asks them the questions I would ask, if only I were smarter. But even spookier, he finds people that should have been on my list, and makes me want to read them. ‘Fictional Frontiers’ is like one of those mystical, appear-out-of-nowhere book shops from stories, where all the stuff we’ve been craving is waiting on the shelves.”

He’s not only studied the material, he’s thought about the themes and sought far beyond the obvious.

He may well have the wisdom of Yoda, as well as better diction.”
