Twenty five years ago, we weren't just starting a new year — we were entering a new millennium. No one knew what exactly would unfold over the next few hours, let alone the next 25 years. As we begin a new quarter-century, MPR News asked Minnesota fiction writers Brian Thao Worra, Mubanga Kalimamukwento and Ben Percy to imagine the state 25 years from now, in the year 2050.

It's a new comic Wednesday and a new drop of number ones! Nico and TK (plus of course Producer Kevo) take a look at the newest launch of Hellverine under Ben Percy, who has otherwise departed the Wolverine and Ghost Rider titles he previously ran the show on. Then, switch over to the MCU inspired take on TVA in an all new TVA title. After that the duo jump into DC with a new title – Challengers Of The Unknown, which now features Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, & the rest of the Justice League, before finishing things off with Green Lantern/Green Arrow: World's Finest Special, which leads the team to believe things for the GL are gonna change in 2025! It's all this and more on an all new X Is For Podcast! X IS FOR SHOW is a talk show for your favorite media, the same way THE OFFICE was a documentary about a paper company. Every week, THE ACTION PACK gathers to discuss a wide range of entertainment media and news, from film & TV to comics to gaming, music, and beyond. Led by showrunner NICO (@NicoAction), with co-hosts TK (@TKElemental) and producer KEVO (@KevoReally), as well as a variety of friends and special guests, these LIVE discussions are not to be missed - so be sure to tune in and join us for all the fun!

Marty and Holly discuss our upcoming theme of Sci-Fi Fungi with interviews of science fiction authors Benjamin Percy and Mike Carey, along with mycologists Dr. Alex Moskaluk from the University of Guelph and Kaitlyn Kuehn (KK) from the Flora Funga Podcast.  We'll be discussing space fungi from cometary debris in Ben Percy's book 'The Unfamiliar Garden', the zombie fungus Codyceps in Mike Percy's book 'The Girl With All The Gifts'.  And we'll be structuring our conversations around Merlin Sheldrake's popular science book 'Entangled Life', which delves into the apparent motor-controlling abilities of the zombie fungus Cordyceps, the mind-altering effects of Psilocybin, as well as the genesis of land-based ecosystems from the symbiosis of fungi with algae in lichen.  Along the way we also introduce an upcoming interview with returning science fiction author and friend of the show Robert J. Sawyer about his books 'Quantum Night' and 'The Downloaded'.  Then we go on to introduce our next theme of the Multiverse, in Mike Carey's Pandominion duology - 'Infinity Gate' and 'Echo of Worlds', and Micaiah Johnson's 'The Space Between Worlds' and 'Those Beyond the Wall'.  Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

To start, this episode will air just a few days before Ultimates #1 comes out, how excited are you to see fan reactions?Can you talk a little bit about how you snagged the writing gig for Ultimates? By all accounts this seems like the most important book as far as worldbuilding is concerned.With a few scripts under your belt, is there a specific Ultimate/Avenger you enjoy writing the most?Were you a fan of the original Ultimates and the line at the time?The FCBD story you wrote gives us a lot of hints as to the whereabouts of heroes, I was curious, how much of those required Wil Moss to check as far as green lighting things, or do you have full reign to erase or delete a character from this timeline?Pie in the sky, is there a character that floats to the top you're excited to dig into, and if it's a spoiler, can you give a hint as to who they might be? 19:0020:26Juan Frigeri is no slouch when it comes to big superhero action, was there a panel or page he blew you away with, so far?I was a big fan of your Children of the Vault miniseries, which frankly had some mind bending ideas at work. Did writing that help you gear up for Ultimates in any way?Does the Ultimate Universe office have a slack going? Are you all digging into each others scripts and keeping tabs?At this point 20th Century Men is iconic in a lot of ways, for fans of Ultimates, why should they check it out?

  Get ready for the newest jam-packed installment of your favorite Podcast about Ghost Rider, Inner Demons. (Are we still the only one??) And there's people passing around GR powers like they're candy!First up, we have Ghost Rider Issue 15 by Ben Percy showing what a bad idea it is for mad scientists to take a robot mechs into Hades. Not a great plan. Speaking of bad plans...do not pick up shady mystical hitchhikers who like to borrow people's faces like the Anthology story in Issue 16. Yuck.Then we finally find out who was pulling the strings in the recent Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider Issues 3 and 4. Spoiler Alert...it was a super hungry Morlock!Next we find out what happened to all the random Frank Castles battling it out in the final issue of Stephanie Phillips' Cosmic Ghost Rider. Moving on we hit up the sibling rivalry from Ghost Rider Issue 29. Blaze vs Ketch...two men enter, one Rider will emerge victorious.Then we go back to the Midnight Sons era with Lilith's introduction from Spirits of Vengeance Issue 01. And Logan and Beast tussling with GR as he surfs the Next Wave in Ghost Rider Issue 29 from the 90's.Lastly, bear witness to Ghost Rider vs Dr. Strange in the 70s. Or is it really him?You can listen to the episode at the Vengeance Unbound page on BlogSpot, or you can download it from Apple Podcasts and more.You can also find us on Facebook, just search for "Vengeance Unbound" and on Twitter/X under @InnerDemonsGR.Thanks for listening!

To start, Cemetery Kids Don't Die is out February 20th, blending a 21st century future, with a gaming system called Dreamwave. Where did the idea for this series start?Cemetery Kids Don't Die is such a great title, did you have it settled right off the bat or did it come organically as you were crafting the story?There's an organic nature to Dreamwave, it looks like a creature you put on your head, how important was it for you to have an organic approach to this tech?Without knowing the dangers of Dreamwave, would you boot up into a system like this one?Dreamwave feels like an organic (sorry for the pun) direction for a game like Baldurs Gate 3 to evolve into, how much research went into gaming be it RPGs and fantasy to develop this story?Back in December AIPT exclusively revealed designs by Daniel Irizarri. Can you talk about the process of crafting the looks of the in game characters and the characters playing the game?I think fans of D&D will love this, there's a heavy vibe of that going on, do you play D&D and if so, what's your favorite character class?You've talked before on this show about your mood board, what sort of movies, tv, or comics did you have up while writing this series? If Cemetery Kids Don't Die was a song what would it be and why?Zac, do you have any other projects you'd like to plug today?

Big Books and Bold Ideas is usually the show where readers meet writers. But for this final show of 2022, we decided to do something unexpected. Instead of talking to writers about books they wrote, we asked them about their favorite literary characters someone else wrote. It's an assignment these Minnesota authors took seriously, and their selections both surprised and delighted host Kerri Miller. She also asked each author to recommend their favorite book of 2022, so get your “need to read” list ready! Guests: Peter Geye writes and lives in Minneapolis and is the author of many books. His latest novel is “The Ski Jumpers.” Shannon Gibney is a writer and a professor of English at Minneapolis College. Her books include the novel, “Dream Country” and the upcoming memoir-inspired novel, “The Girl I Am, Was, and Never Will Be.” Ben Percy is a novelist and screenwriter based in Northfield, Minn. His novels include “The Unfamiliar Garden” and a collection of stories titled, “Suicide Woods.” He also writes for Marvel Comics. To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.  Subscribe to the MPR News with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or RSS.

Establishing your setting and time period from the get-go of your writing process is vital in creating a memorable book, real tension, dynamic characters, and a more complex reading experience. Writers Hesse Phillips and Louise Berliner help us figure out how to do it.Hesse Phillips (she/they) was born next-door to a chicken farm in Western PA but now lives in Spain. Their Novel Incubator project Lightborne, about the mysterious death of queer Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe, was a finalist in the Irish Writers Centre Novel Fair 2022 and is now out on submission.

They have a PhD in Drama from Tufts University and are obsessed with all things relating to sixteenth and early seventeenth century English theatre and its intersections with religion, gender, sexuality, and politics.Another lucky Novel Incubator grad, Louise Berliner's work has appeared in VQR, Porter Gulch Review, Ibbetson Review, The Mom Egg, Sacred Fire and various chapbook collections. Her first book, Texas Guinan GuyNan, Queen of the Night Clubs, written in part thanks to an NEH grant, is a biography of a Roaring ‘20s night club hostess famous for saying “Hello, Suckers!” Her middle grade novel, Houdini's Elephant, is with her agent and she's currently working on an adult literary novel with a magical realism kick. Her work is heavily influenced by New York City and the 20th century, as well as the ghosts of her matrilineage.Also discussed: Ben Percy's chapter “Activating Setting” in his craft book Thrill Me.

X-Force continues to be the unsung flagship book of the Dawn of X era, with Benjamin Percy's sophomore collection!  The stories being told might not be to everybody's liking, however, I don't think anybody can argue that stuff actually HAPPENS in this book... which immediately puts it head and shoulders over most of the X-Offerings in late 2019/early 2020! This time out, we get into some deep (and potentially problematic) discussion on the topic of suicide in the age of resurrection!  Are we more than a collection of our experiences... and, if not -- is it okay to jettison some of those more troublesome experiences to make your next "go round" more productive? Also - This IS a Ben Percy book, so we've got plenty of Russians and INFO PAGE abuse!

In this podcast, we're marking Halloween by revisiting interviews with authors who have created work that focus on monsters. We hit all the major horror figures with NEA literature fellow Ben Percy (werewolves), Max Brooks (zombies and vampires) and Kiersten White (the Frankenstein monster). All of the writers are entranced by the creatures they explore—but they also find them oddly safe, non-polemical images that inflame the imagination and  lend themselves to explorations of anxiety, stratification, privilege, sexism and yes, pandemics.
