There aren’t many good science fiction book podcasts around as far as I can tell. These guys and girls always surprise me with their intelligent and entertaining takes on old favourites, as well as recommendations for new things to read and watch.
This casual, friendly, conversational yet focused podcast is just what I like. The format is low-key. The discussion is well-informed and well-organized. The science-fiction or science-fiction-adjacent topics are varied and intriguing. I look forward to these episodes!
Absolute gems these guys. Good podcasters too. Doing a deep dive now- will report back.
Good takes on many books. Great guests. Highly recommended for science fiction fans.
Love listening
