A podcast where I review new and vintage scifi/fantasy novels and short stories. My great love of Science fiction/Fantasy novels started in jr high when I read the entire scifi/fantasy book section in the school library.... (Yes, I was that kid) ....I am hoping there are others like me out there in the universe who want some time to put on the headphones and escape reality for a while. The picture I have up is the poster of Pluto we had to take off the wall at my school workplace. I had to save it. Somebody's got to stand up for downgraded planetoids, and I guess thats me.

In this review of "Mortal Gods", I try and figure out how to reconcile myself to the fact that Orson Scott Card is a great writer of science fiction, who also has voiced opinions that make it difficult to rationalise reading his stories without going against my principles. How does one separate the art from the artist, and should that be done at all?
In this episode I am reviewing one of my favorite science fiction short stories, "The Ship Who Sang", written by Anne Mccaffrey and first published in 1961
E. M. Forster wrote The Machine Stops in 1909, and in a crazy bit of synchronic prescience, he created a world that is scarily like what our lives are like in Lockdown over 100 years later. This story is a must-read for all of us this year.
This episode reviews two science fiction short stories that were published sixty six years apart, yet both delve into the idea of how places, or planets, you travel to can change you just as much or more than you can change them.
In this episode my reviews of the Classic scifi "The Sentimentalists" and modern scifi "A Dead Djinn in Cairo" shed a light on how depictions of women in Science fiction/ fantasy stories has changed a great deal from the 1950s to modern times.
