SFUltra is the kind of show that doesn’t review books that you could think “yeah I could write that”, but blasts you with the stuff of stars that revels in your insignificance in the Universe.

The episodes focus on science fiction literature and its intersections with broader cultural discourses. Through discussions of both classic and contemporary works, the host thoughtfully analyzes themes such as identity, addiction, technology, and societal critiques within the genre. Notable episodes highlight the intricacies of various authors' styles and societal commentary, elevating niche works and unconventional narratives that often challenge traditional genre boundaries. This podcast is distinctive in its engagement with lesser-known titles and authors, all while maintaining a conversational and insightful approach that invites listeners to reconsider their perspectives on science fiction and literature as a whole.
