Episode 43: Live with Gary K. Wolfe, Karen Burnham, Jeffrey Ford, and Liza Groen Trombi Mar 19, 2011

Show notes

Convention season is upon us and, on the eve of his birthday, Gary K. Wolfe has ventured out into aligator-infested Florida in search of conversation, con-buddies and, above all else, boat drinks! In the first of what might just be a series of one podcasts, Gary invited Locus Publications editor-in-chief Liza Groen Trombi, editor and critic Karen Burnham, and award winning author Jeffrey Ford (visiting from the wilds of New Jersey) to sit down and join us in a fairly impromptu and rambling podcast. Starting without an agenda (or in truth and kind of plan at all) we discuss science fiction criticism and the search for the modern essay, the digital age, Locus online, awards seasons, Reza Negarestani's Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials, The Secret Life of Laird Barron, and the forthcoming Key West Literary Seminar (it's about the literature of the future this time out). As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!

Episode 42: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Mar 12, 2011

Show notes

With the Galactic Suburbanites celebrating their birthday just a couple of days ago, Gary and I once again jumped into the pod to record episode 42 (well, 45 if you include the non-series eps) where we discuss George R.R. Martin's Dance, the Kindle, the iPad, thrillers vs. science fiction, self-publishing, ICFA, and throw in a bit of digital waffle. This is the last podcast before Gary heads off for his 65th birthday (!), so we hope you enjoy it. We'll see you next week!

Episode 41: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Mar 05, 2011

Show notes

Amongst audio chaos and another mumble about the weather, Gary and I jumped into the Pod to discuss the recently released Clarke and Stoker ballots, Shaun Tan's Oscar win, community and other bits and pieces. We hope you enjoy this rather rambling instalment...

Episode 16: Live with Gary K. Wolfe (redux) Mar 05, 2011

Show notes

On 21 August 2010 Gary and I recorded and published Episode 16 of the podcast. There have been historic problems with the upload and so, in attempt to fix this, I'm republishing it here at the new host. I do apologise for any duplication people might experience by my doing so. We will be recording the new podcast shortly and it will be up in the next day or so. Here is what what we said of Episode 16 all those months ago: "Although we’re having a Federal election here in Australia, and I had to get out and fulfil my democratic obligations, I still found time to jump on to Skype and call Gary to talk about things science-fictional. We covered reviewing, the end of “books you don’t need to read’, The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction, our awesome technical skills as podcasters, the Coode Street Feminist Advisory Committee (we may need t-shirts), and all sorts of other things in another longish podcast. We have also accepted we could talk forever – I think we chatted for more than an hour that we didn’t record. We hope you enjoy it!"

Episode 40: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Feb 26, 2011

Show notes

It was a bright and sunny morning - the annual excoriation of the masses here in Perth, and a particularly vicious one - so Gary and I fired up Skype and had a long chat about the Nebula Awards, how e-readers are impacting on the management of the reviewing cycle, the work of Peter S. Beagle and some other stuff. As always, we hope you enjoy it!

Episode 39: Live with Gary K. Wolfe and Garth Nix! (redux) Feb 20, 2011

Show notes

And it's another weekend. This morning Garth Nix, bestselling author of the 'Keys to the Kingdom' and 'Old Kingdom' series, among many wonderful novels, joined Gary and I in the pod to discuss what 'young adult' means, the current troubles with bookselling and book publishing, ebooks, his forthcoming novels Troubletwisters (with Sean Williams) and A Confusion of Princes and lots more stuff in a special 'Pink Drinks' edition of The Coode Street Podcast. Enjoy!

Show notes

That’s better! Technical difficulties behind us, Gary and a slightly hungover I jumped into the pod to discuss Carol Emshwiller, the right time to publish a book, optimistic SF, the death of SF and all sorts of other stuff. We hope you enjoy it, as always!

Show notes

Live from the Locus/Twelfth Planet Press in the World Fantasy Convention 2010 dealer's room, Gary and I chat with Alisa, Karen and Francesca about World Fantasy, women at conventions, and all sorts of other stuff. We ramble. The sound quality may be affected by the venue, along with random background announcements, but we hope you like it!

Episode 10: Live with Gary K. Wolfe, Elizabeth Hand, and Peter Straub Jul 11, 2010

Show notes

the art of the novella
why Readercon is worth attending
outsider art, Henry Darger, crypto-aviation,
and all sorts of other neat stuff.

We hope you enjoy it as always and will see you next weekend!
