Wells is entering a dark phase and no, not emotionally (well, maybe) and Brandi woke up with what can only be described as a broken hip. Oh, and the Aliens are coming!

Going back ten years to 2016, Sarah and Catherine Gilmore (@GilmoreGuide) dive into the annual Bookish Time Capsule episode and revisit the book world from that year. They cover big bookish highlights — from the buzziest books of the year to the award winners — along with what was happening in the wider world at the time. They also look back at their own reading from 2016, including their favorite releases, and share a quick round-up of listener-submitted favorites.

Neste episódio, eu mergulho de cabeça em uma resenha completa de Matéria Escura, o thriller sci-fi que vai fazer você questionar absolutamente tudo — principalmente as decisões que você já tomou na vida.Escrito por Blake Crouch, o livro acompanha Jason Dessen, um professor de física que leva uma vida comum…

Excited to share this classic episode from the archives with one of the great short storytellers of our time, Ted Chiang. This conversation happened in 2019 at the studios of KBOO community radio in Portland, Oregon. Blake Crouch speaking of Exhalation, the book we discuss today, says “Ted Chiang has no contemporary peers when it comes to the short story form. His name deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Carver, Poe, Borges, and Kafka. Every story is a universe. Every story is a diamond. You will inhale Exhalation in a single, stunned sitting, because true genius doesn't come along nearly as often as advertised. This is the real thing.” For the bonus audio archive Ted contributed a reading of his essay “Silicon Valley Is Turning into its Own Worst Fear,” first published at Buzzfeed, an essay exploring the reasons why Silicon Valley might particularly fear superintelligent A.I. and how credible those fears really are. This joins contributions from everyone from N.K. Jemisin to Daniel Jose Older to Vajra Chandrasekera. You can find out how to subscribe to the bonus audio, and about the other potential rewards and benefits of joining the Between the Covers community as a listener-supporter, at the show’s Patreon page.

We've got 15 books and series here, so there should be something to love for almost every reader (although we need some traditional fantasy page turners – send us some recommendations in the comments please)! Plus, at the end of the episode we each rank our personal top 3. We intentionally excluded YA and military sci-fi books, although those are often also page-turners - look out for episodes about each of those soon! Brent's brother, Alex, joined us for this episode, and brought us a whole new batch of books (and frankly a couple new subgenres) to enjoy. LitRPG / progression fantasy just keep getting more popular, and we can see why – the books we've picked up have all been so, so fun to read (although it probably helps we've been reading Alex's recommendations so far, the best of the best from the hundreds of LitRPG books he's read).

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome author Scott A. Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony's synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles. The survivors? Violent. Unstable. Rogue.Tim also shares what it's like narrating high-stakes sci-fi — finding the voice of commanders, synthetic beings, and galaxy-spanning tension inside a recording booth.Then we expand the conversation into the larger audiobook boom — sparked by recent buzz around Stephen King's upcoming Talisman trilogy finale — and why more readers are choosing to listen instead of read.If you're into The Expanse, Blake Crouch-style paranoia, or smart sci-fi that asks whether humanity is destined to be destroyed by its own creations — this episode is for you.

This week I finished writing Two of Swords and started work on Three of Swords, continuing my return to The Ravenglass Chronicles. I also enjoyed reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.

After some initial cruise-related banter we begin the show by talking about Wayward Pines, the series of books and TV episodes by author Blake Crouch. Christian realizes that Jason was right about Matt Dillon not being a good actor; we then discuss whether an AI can actually write a good song (it's complicated). We talk about the woman who allegedly called dozens of churches looking for help feeding her baby and was refused, and then believe it or not, we share a couple biebers after the return of Pastor Jack's Off.

The brothers are in the final 10 episodes of the show, so it's time for a topic they've wanted to do for years: their dream book-to-game adaptations. The Witcher and Metro show that literature can make a successful leap to gaming, so what books should developers adapt next?

The guys have never made it a secret about how much they love books written by Blake Crouch.  In today's episode, they talk about Crouch's first commercially successful novel, not previously released in the United States.  What if, in a single night, half of everyone you knew and loved suddenly no longer saw you as a friend, a lover, a family member?  What if they were trying to murder you because they were convinced that you were no longer one of them? A high octane book like this needs something to smooth to mellow the evening out.  To help them keep pace, Stephen and Mark will sample Green River Wheated Bourbon.

Scott Brick can be relied upon to deliver intensity in every audiobook he narrates, but he outdoes himself in this story of a family on the run in a world gone mad. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss Blake Crouch's audiobook that truly had Michele on the edge of her seat. Jack doesn't know why Americans started killing one another in a pointless frenzy of rage, but it's up to him to keep his family safe. Brick's frantic performance forces listeners to empathize with the desperate Jack as he narrowly escapes the killers. It's an intense and graphic listen but one you won't be able to put down.

Amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could've lived, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from a most terrifying foe: himself. Dark Matter stars Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Oakes Fegley, Dayo Okeniyi, and Amanda Brugel. Join in as hosts Michael Shields and River Jordan explore universe after universe, and copy after copy of an embattled main character, in a examination of one of the best science fiction television shows of 2024.

In Part 2 of this episode of "Your One Black Friend," Joli and guest host Kosmic Jedi continue their exploration of parallel universes, inspired by the themes and narrative of Blake Crouch's novel "Dark Matter," now a series on Apple TV. (Part 2 of this discussion deals only with episode 1-3 of the series.) Kosmic & Joli delve into the concept of infinite realities and discuss how this idea allows for endless possibilities and outcomes, making the show's narrative both exciting and thought-provoking. How does the concept of infinite realities reshape our understanding of personal identity? How does soul memory influence intuition and decision-making? How does exploring alternate timelines affect our perception of regret? Joli and Kosmic Jedi analyze the complex themes of the show, including Eastern mysticism, physics, and psychological analysis. They appreciate how these elements are intricately woven together to create a multi-layered narrative that encourages viewers to think deeply about the nature of reality and the choices we make. The discussion also touches on character relationships, focusing on the sacrifices and decisions made by the characters, particularly in the context of gender roles and personal fulfillment. They compare the show to other media like "Rick and Morty," "Invincible," and movies such as "The One" with Jet Li and "Deja Vu" with Denzel Washington, highlighting how these works handle the concept of multiple realities. Joli and Kosmic Jedi reflect on their own lives, contemplating how different decisions could have led to different outcomes. They emphasize the importance of intuition and the belief in multiple chances or lifetimes to experience different paths, suggesting that this mindset can reduce regret and anxiety by accepting the existence of parallel realities. The conversation also explores philosophical insights, particularly the idea of letting go of regret and anxiety by recognizing that this is not the only lifetime or timeline. They discuss how adopting this perspective can lead to a more relaxed and observant approach to life, reducing the fear of missing out and the intensity of decision-making. Throughout the discussion, Joli and Kosmic Jedi express a strong appreciation for the show and its ability to spark deep, reflective conversations about life, choices, and the nature of reality. They commend the creators for their ability to address complex themes in an engaging and thought-provoking manner, making it a standout piece of media. Youroneblackfriend.com •••

If recent episodes have left you thinking the Regular Joe's are now just grumpy old men who don't like anything, this week they mix things up a bit. It has taken six months, but now everyone has watched Godzilla Minus One. The story of a giant monster that attacks Japan. Sorry, if that was a SPOILER. Here's another one, it's freaking awesome! Just when you thought the multiverse had become a tired, clichéd, trope, the Apple TV+ adaptation of the Blake Crouch novel Dark Matter will make you rethink that position, as well as what you thought was going on in the show. There's also the usual Random Topics and a round of What's on my Workbench. Thanks for listening!

In Part 1 of this episode of "Your One Black Friend," Joli and Guest Host @KosmicJedi delve into the fascinating themes of Time Loops, Parallel Universes, and “Reality Transurfing”, leading to a discussion of Blake Crouch's novel "Dark Matter," (now a series on Apple TV.) What impact do the choices we make have on the paths our lives take? The conversation organically transitions into a broader discussion about the concept of time, routine, and how society's rigid structures often conflict with individual natural rhythms, particularly for neurodivergent individuals. Joli and Kosmic highlight how modern technology and societal expectations can stifle creativity and productivity, suggesting that breaking free from these constraints can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. Throughout the episode, the dynamic duo skillfully intertwines personal anecdotes with speculative fiction. References to popular culture, such as "Doctor Who," "X-Men," and "Back to the Future," are used to illustrate the philosophical and practical implications of living in a multiverse, providing listeners with thought-provoking insights and entertaining discussions. Perfect for listeners interested in speculative fiction, philosophy, and the intersections of science fiction with real-world issues. Youroneblackfriend.com

This week, the Regular Joes pay tribute to the late great Roger Corman (1926-2024) very likely the most prolific B movie Producer/Director ever.  Whether you saw a bootleg copy of the never released first Fantastic Four (1994) film, rocked out with the Ramones and Riff Randall in Rock ‘n' Roll High School (1979) or savored the 1960's Vincent Price Edgar Allan Poe adaptations that made the afternoon movie circuit in the 70s.  It's almost impossible to have not been exposed to his work. Few creators have left such a large footprint … just as few creators have made as many films about gigantic human beings trampling things. The Joe's also take a look at the first episode of Dark Matter on Apple plus. Which is based on a book by Blake Crouch that Tod really likes.  Even if you are thinking you are over the idea of a multiverse you should give this one a try.  Wait … was that a SPOILER? There also What's in the Box and the usual Random Topics. Thanks for Listening!
