It’s a short episode this week, since Elizabeth had a great time at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con and she’s really tired. And also Kathryn is still bad at TV and is only averaging one new episode of anything per week. Listen in as Elizabeth gives the details on her time at SDCC: the best
I’m actually ahead of the game this year as far as the Hugo-nominated novelettes. By which I mean I’ve read one of them already (it’s the Catherynne Valente one, which I’m sure is no surprise). For the first three Best Novelette nominees, we have stories which all include the theme of needing to be seen,
My name’s Andrea Cort. I hate heights, I hate being helpless, and I hate creatures bigger than I am. It was almost exactly twenty years ago that I picked up a copy of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and read “The Tangled Strings of the Marionettes”. The story – set on the planet

The Welcome To Night Vale writers have occasionally been known to subtly reference current events. This week subtlety is completely out the window as the entire Night Vale community has allowed their fear and rage to be written into law. A new ordinance has all kinds of nasty, unintended consequences, some of which directly affect
To the surprise of absolutely no one, we’ve mixed up the dates again and we have a week with no new Welcome to Night Vale or Lore Olympus. While we wait for the next episodes to drop, we decided to actually tackle our backlog of movies and watch Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. (Can
It’s springtime, politics are still an absolute dumpster fire, and several world leaders are using the version of diplomacy best summed up as “Oh Yeah? Come Over HERE And Say That.” Time for some more escapism via a thirty-year-old sci-fi fantasy epic. The Orpheus Machine is the final book in Ray Aldridge’s Emancipator trilogy. And
