Episode 7: Live with Gary K. Wolfe and Amelia Beamer Jun 19, 2010

Show notes

Author, critic, photographer, and Locus editor Amelia Beamer joins Gary and I for a new podcast as our first ever guest. Amelia was only just home from Locus HQ in Oakland, Gary was taking some time out from reading for his column in Chicago, and I was still pottering around after breakfast while the kids are off at swimming lessons in Perth. I once again showed my lack of technical skills in the audio arena, but we discussed:

being a first-time novelist, writing and The Loving Dead;
Kim Stanley Robinson's astounding new short story; and
the SF Signal Mind Meld on short story collections you have to have and whether there's a language we can use to discuss the history of the SF field that's inclusive,

There's probably some other stuff, but we recorded this morning and I'm not going to re-listen to the whole thing. We hope you enjoy it as always and will see you next weekend!

Episode 6: Live with Gary K. Wolfe Jun 13, 2010

Show notes

Every Saturday morning now Gary and I fire up Skype to record the latest in our series of chats. Gary's usually not that long home from his office in Chicago, while I'm mostly still pottering around after breakfast while the kids are off at swimming lessons. We did it again yesterday morning, and we once again reveal our collective lack of technical skills in the audio arena and briefly mention:

getting contributor's copies,
re-editing classic books,
ebook design and the iPad,
books I'd like to see exist that don't,
The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson and how humanists wrote short fiction,
entry-level SF novels and anthologies,
year's bests,
the lack of SF for children, and
spend some time discussing Nnedi Okorafor and her novel Who Fears Death.

There's probably some other stuff, but we recorded this yesterday and I'm not going to re-listen to the whole thing. We hope you enjoy it as always and will see you next weekend!

Gary calls in from Florida and we talk about all sorts of stuff in our latest chatfest.

Episode 4: Live with Gary K. Wolfe. May 30, 2010

Show notes

On May 30, 2010 Episode 4 of the Coode Street Podcast was first published. At the time, it was described like this:
And we do it again! Our fourth ramble, this time touching on all sorts of things, many of which we’ve touched on before!
A recent check of the website showed that there was a problem with the original file and that only a small portion of the podcast had been available since we moved host. We are now re-releasing the full text of the original episode for your listening pleasure. It shows pretty clearly how much extra polish goes into more recent episodes.

Episode 3: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! May 23, 2010

Show notes

The third episode in our new (but still continuing!) series of conversations is now live. There are still a few audio hitches that I’m trying to iron out, but all in all, it’s ok. I did the stereo thing again – it seems to be a default setting – so I’ll work harder on getting you a good old fashioned mono recording next weekend. This time we discuss reviewing, books, and all sorts of other stuff. I did promise to mention any specific titles, but today’s chat is pretty general so there’s nothing specific to mention. Except, oops, The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction, we do discuss that a bit. More next week!

Episode2: Live with Gary Wolfe! May 15, 2010

Show notes

In the second of our regular series of weekly podcasts Gary Wolfe and I discuss canon formation, Joanna Russ, and all sorts of other stuff. It’s kinda long. I accidentally messed up the first take so this actually is a complete re-recording. We hope you like it. Right now we plan to do this pretty much every week. Comments are welcome!

Episode 1: Live with Gary K. Wolfe! [REPOST] May 08, 2010

Show notes

In case you were wondering where the Coode Street Podcast began, here's episode 1 from way back in May 2010.

Here is the first full-length Coode Street podcast. Recorded just minutes ago, Gary and I discuss what it means to work and review for Locus, SF’s attraction to the ‘new’ in new weird, new space opera and new sword and sorcery, career pressure on short story writers, as well as books by China Mieville and others. We also mention some books we’re looking forward to. With a little luck we’ll podcast regularly (every week or two), so we hope you enjoy it. Also if there are any problems with the audio, my apologies. I’m still working this out.
