Germany4 months ago - A kind of stark radiance
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.

Australia10 months ago - Wonderfully weird sci-fi reviews
Sean McTiernan’s new project SFUltra is a treasure trove of weird, alternative sci-fi reads, filtered through the host’s always insightful-yet-irreverent commentary. Can’t recommend enough for anyone interested in transgressive/experimental sci-fi (or literature in general), this show has hugely broadened my conception of the genre.
