Kevin Lauderdale is an American science fiction author primarily known for his Star Trek short stories, which began with publication in the Strange New Worlds anthology series.
His stories appeared in three successive volumes of the series, making him eligible for a "Wardy," named for fellow Strange New Worlds veteran Dayton Ward.
In addition to his Star Trek work, he has published essays and articles in The Dictionary of American Biography (now known as The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives), the Los Angeles Times, Bride Again, Animato!, Pulse!, and McSweeney's Internet Tendency, as well as poetry in Andrei Codrescu's Exquisite Corpse.
That site is now down, and only one piece of content is still available online in archived form: "An Annotated Guide to The Two Georges by Richard Dreyfuss and Harry Turtledove."
Lauderdale hosted a monthly pop culture podcast on The Chronic Rift network titled “It Has Come to My Attention.” He now hosts a podcast devoted to the Golden Age of Radio called "Presenting the Transcription Feature" and co-hosts a bad movie podcast, "Mighty Movie's Temple of Bad."
