Saturday afternoon, October 29, 1977 in Los Angeles, attending the third World Fantasy Convention in the Biltmore Hotel downtown, I had the pleasure of hearing Fritz Leiber on the Epic Fantasy Panel, and I recorded it all; unfortunately, I accidentally taped over the second half of the panel, and many of the tapes I made that weekend have self-destructed beyond recovery.

I was able to pull two segments of the comments from Fritz from the remaining first half of the panel; so just be happy I have these to share:

If you’d like to download and save the files for yourself, and you are using a Mac, I believe that would be Ctrl + Click to bring up the right click menu, and use the “Download Linked File” function to save the MP3 files to your hard drive. I don’t own a Mac so please correct me if I am wrong!
