Episode 118: Live with Kij Johnson! Oct 06, 2012

Show notes

Not so long ago we were lucky enough to have the wonderful Kij Johnson, author of the new story collection At the Mouth of the River of Bees, join us in the Waldorf Room to discuss gender, transgressive fiction and other cool stuff. That conversation was never completed, so were eager to have her back as our guest. Happily, she joins us to continue that discussion and to consider the importance of not flinching in fiction, and the recent discussion of the state of science fiction by Paul Kincaid, Jonathan McAlmont, and Mike Harrison (among others). It proved to be a wide-ranging discussion, another total delight, and we hope the precursor to another discussion sometime soon. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!

Episode 117: Live with Kathleen Ann Goonan Sep 23, 2012

Show notes

This week we were joined in the Waldorf Room by Campell Award winning author Kathleen Ann Goonan, where we discussed the future of science fiction, teaching SF, nanotechnology, women writing hard science fiction, her new collection Angels and You Dogs, the Nanotech Quartet, and her most recent novel, This Shared Dream. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!

Episode 116: Live with Paul Kincaid! Sep 16, 2012

Show notes

During Episode 115 of the Podcast we discussed Paul Kincaid's review essay, "The Widening Gyre" (originally published by the LA Review of Books). In the essay, while reviewing three 'best of the year' anthologies, Paul asked whether science fiction was suffering from exhaustion and, more importantly perhaps, whether writers had lost confidence that the future was comprehensible and therefore storyable. Our original conversation didn't cover the subject well, so we invited Paul to join us in the Gershwin Room to discuss the essay and the issues surrounding it. Our thanks to Paul for being such a generous guest and, as always, we hope you enjoy the podcast.

Episode 115: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! Sep 09, 2012

Show notes

We are back after an unexpected break over the WorldCon weekend. We intended to have a podcast for you, and to record many, many exciting interviews. Instead, life took over and we did something else. However, we were back in the Gershwin Room this weekend to discuss the Hugo Awards, Paul Kincaid's LA Times article on the exhaustion of science fiction, and steampunk, through the lens of two very fine stories by Caitlin R. Kiernan ("Goggles (c.1910)" from Steampunk 3) and Nick Mamatas ("Arbeitschraft" from The Mammoth Book of Steampunk). As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!
