Episode 53: Live with Gary K. Wolfe and Karen Lord! May 27, 2011

Show notes

Last weekend Crawford Award-winning novelist Karen Lord joined Gary and I live from an undisclosed location in the Caribbean (well, when we say 'undisclosed' a LOT of frogs and just a few motorcycles seemed to know just where Karen was at the time) to discuss the impact of cultural perceptions on fantasy, her novel Redemption in Indigo, and a handful of other things. We experienced a few recording dropouts (for which we apologise), but Skype struggled to link Perth, Chicago and the Caribbean and did its very best. We hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it. As to this coming weekend, well Gary's at Wiscon so we have some plans for coming weeks that we think should be a lot of fun. See you then!

Episode 52: Live with Gary K. Wolfe and Liza Groen Trombi! May 22, 2011

Show notes

This morning (Perth time) the Science Fiction Writers of America gathered in Washington DC to present the Nebula Awards. The ceremony was videocast (see it here) and the winners were announced to festive celebration (results are here). In the immediate aftermath Gary and I asked Locus editor-in-chief Liza Groen Trombi to join us in the pod to discuss the Nebulas, the winners, what happened to the Grand Master award, and other fun stuff. We hope you enjoy it, as always! I should also report that this was one of two podcasts we recorded this weekend. In the other one, likely published next weekend, we chatted with the wonderful Karen Lord about all sorts of interesting stuff. See you then!

Episode 51: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! May 14, 2011

Show notes

With birthday celebrations now receding into the past (no baked goods were harmed in the recording of this podcast), Gary and I turn our attention once more to matters at hand. The Locus Awards nominees have been announced, so we discuss the usefulness of awards, how 2010 looks in retrospect, and how 2011 looks from here (with specific mention of China Mieville's Embassytown, Greg Egan's Clockwork Rocket, Michael Swanwick's Dancing with Bears, Nnedi Okorafor's Akata Witch, and Jo Walton's Among Others), and I set Gary a reviewing challenge. We hope you enjoy it, as always!

Episode 50: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! Birthday! May 07, 2011

Show notes

It's our birthday!! This is the real, official birthday podcast from Coode Street. There's laughter, some silliness, and much rambling. Enjoy!

Episode 49: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! Apr 30, 2011

Show notes

I'm back from Swancon, Gary's grading papers in Chicago, and it's a typical Friday evening/Saturday morning at Coode Street. This weekend we talk (for a long time!!!) about the sad news that Joanna Russ has died, Swancon, and lots and lots about awards (all sorts of awards). As always, we hope you enjoy it!

Episode 48: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Apr 23, 2011

Show notes

With Swancon upon us, Gary and I pre-recorded (!) a chat about epic fantasy and such. Enjoy!

Episode 47: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Apr 17, 2011

Show notes

Fighting the flu, and with Swancon just around the corner, I got Gary on the line to discuss small presses, Geoff Ryman and The Child Garden, new Joan Aiken, Nnedi Okorafor's Akata Witch, and some other things. Rambling conversation ensued...

Episode 46: Live with Gary K. Wolfe, Farah Mendlesohn, and Tansy Rayner Roberts Apr 09, 2011

Show notes

In last week's episode Gary and I discussed the work of the late Diana Wynne Jones. Our discussion raised comments from several people that we'd not done justice to Jones, and so we invited Farah Mendlesohn (author of Diana Wynne Jones: Children's Literature and the Fantastic Tradition) and author and critic Tansy Rayner Roberts to join us to discuss Jones' work, legacy and place in the science fiction and fantasy field. We'd like to thank both of them for joining us in the pod.

Episode 45: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Apr 03, 2011

Show notes

Well, the world turned upside down. For scheduling reasons we recorded at a new time, so it was morning in Chicago and late in the evening in Perth. We barely knew what to do, but we did discuss Diana Wynne Jones, Shaun Tan, cover art, framing questions, and other stuff. We'll return to normal next week, but hope this works (Apologies for a brief glitch at the 9min mark or so).

Episode 44: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Mar 26, 2011

Show notes

And we're back to normal. Gary returned to Chicago from ICFA to dine with China Mieville and write his column, while Jonathan was struck down by an unpleasant bug. Nontheless, climbing from his sick bed, he called Gary to discuss awards, book collecting, using genre as a lens, and some other stuff. As always, they hope you enjoy this podcast! Oh, and thank you! The Coode Street Podcast has been nominated for a 2011 Ditmar Award. Thank you to every one who nominated and congratulations to our fellow nominees from Galactic Suburbia, Bad Film Diaries, and The Writer and the Critic!
