Episode 17: Judy Del Rey
Think back to the very first fantasy or sci-fi book that completely consumed your imagination. You stared at the cover, lost in another world, before you even read the first page. But have you ever wondered why that book existed in the first place? In the season two premiere of Accidental Legends , co-hosts Matthew Brent and Dirk Smith step behind the curtain of the publishing industry to uncover the untold story of a true powerhouse: Judy Lynn Del Rey.

From defying industry standards to betting the house on a risky, unreleased space opera that no one thought would succeed, Judy Lynn didn't just ride the waves of science fiction history. She created them. Tune in to discover how one extraordinary woman completely revolutionized the way we dream.
