In 1970, Avon Books published a landmark anthology, “Science Fiction Hall of Fame,” featuring 16 classic short stories that represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time, in the late 1960s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book. In this episode, I am joined by two experts on the history of science fiction. Joachim Boaz is a Historian and Teacher who has been writing about vintage Science Fiction since 2010 and can be found at sciencefictionruminations.com.

Rick Partlow is that rarest of species, a native Floridian. Born in Tampa, he attended Florida Southern College and graduated with a degree in History and a commission in the US Army as an Infantry officer. His lifelong love of science fiction began with Have Space Suit---Will Travel and the other Heinlein juveniles and traveled through Clifford Simak, Asimov, Clarke and on to William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams and Peter F Hamilton. And somewhere, submerged in the worlds of others, Rick began to create his own worlds. He has written over 40 books in a dozen different series, and his short stories have been included in twelve different anthologies. He lives in central Florida with his wife, two children and two lovable mutts. Besides writing and reading science fiction and fantasy, he enjoys outdoor photography, hiking and camping.

Join host Catherine in this captivating episode as shes dives into the timeless world of Clifford Simak's "Way Station" with her special guest, Natalie. This full pastoral science fiction masterpiece takes you on a journey through rural America, offering a unique lens into the heart of small-town life during the early 1960s.

Stories have the ability to teach us about concepts and ideas that are beyond simple explanation. Jesus used the parable to teach lessons.  This story offers food for thought and contemplates the general nature of co creation. Each of us create reality with our thoughts and mind. But what are the dynamics of reality creation when it comes to groups. The world we see is the world we are together co creating.But what if there is not enough people to cocreate this planet and another entity can come along and become the predominant reality creator? This concept is explored in this fun and entertaining golden age science fiction short story by Clifford Simak and Carl Jacobi. The story of a suddenly altering and vanishing Earth seen through the eyes of a recluse. You can treat this as a sleep story or just enjoy it like a movie. Let me tell you a story. You  can read this story which is available in the public domain here https://www.gutenberg.org/files/22218/22218-h/22218-h.htm Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic And Energy Activation Through Flow Art.

Project Mastodon by Clifford D. Simak audiobook. Clifford Simak deals with the implications of time travel in his own unique way in this story. What if a group of guys did it on their own, without any help from government or industry? On a shoestring,so to speak? Would anyone believe them? What would you do if you could go back 150,000 years to a time when mastodons and saber toothed tigers roamed North America? And what happens when they run out of money? All these questions are explored in the usual humorous, wry Simak way in this story.

In July 1938 Astounding magazine under the editorship of John W. Campbell published a story for the first by future Grand master Clifford D. Simak. This story Rule-18 was not a classic, nor was it considered one of the great SF writer's better stories. OK, so why the hell are we covering it on this series devoted to classic SF stories classics of the 30s? The impact of this story is an interesting case. When the issue ran the story was dismissed in the letter column by a young fan from Brooklyn named Issac Asimov. Wanting to understand his issues with the story the elder Simak wrote Asimov and thus began a friendship. Re-reading the story to answer the letter, Asimov found the story worked; this experience is one he considered crucial to his development as a writer. So I invited Alec Nevala-Lee the author of Astounding (A history of the golden age SF) and Seth Heasley host of The Hugos There podcast to join me for this episode. None of us had read the story before. Rule-18 is about a 24th-century football game between Mars and Earth. In this discussion we talk about the story, the issue of Astounding it appeared in, John W. Campbell's relationship to the writers, the influence on Asimov, and we debate if this story should be canon.

In this second episode of the 1930s podcast series, I have dug into the vault to re-package a classic Dickheads podcast episode from our first season in 2018 when we were gathering in the studio. In this episode, we cover 'Alas, All Thinking' by Harry Bates most famous for writing the story that inspired the Day the Earth Stood Still. Originally published in the June 1935 issue of Astounding Magazine, a young Philip K. Dick considered this one of his favorite Science Fiction stories and a major influence on his writing.

In this episode, we meet Tamara, in a fantasy crafted by Blue Green.  Blue is a new writer. In his youth, he consumed authors such as Philip K. Dick, Ursula Le Guin, Theodore Sturgeon, Clifford Simak, Stephen Donaldson, James Blaylock and many many more, so it's probably not surprising that his main focus is fantasy and science fiction. Originally from England, Blue now lives with his family in Germany.

"Desertion", written by Clifford D. Simak in 1944, follows the story of an army commander and his dog. The story is set on Jupiter, where a military commander, Harold Fowler, has been losing men in his attempt to colonize the planet. The reason is both obvious and frightening.This was one of the first science fiction stories about pantropy (the word had not yet been coined), and if you don't know what that is, don't look it up. You'll enjoy the story more without knowing first!I really love the concept behind this story. I may or may not have tried to rip off Simak's story when I was a teenager trying to get a story published in Analog Magazine! (It was rejected—and rightfully so.)Mind Webs was a 1970's series out of WHA Radio in Wisconsin that featured weekly short stories of science fiction by some of the genre's best writers. The music, sound cues and occasional character voices along with the performance of Michael Hansen, the reader, resulted in better than most fully dramatized productions of the period. Around 150 shows were aired between 1976 and 1984 varying in length, but most were about 30 minutes. Get full access to The Reader Crew at joshuajames.substack.com/subscribe

Simak Narrated by Blythe Melin This early novella by Clifford Simak includes many elements which have become staples in science fiction literature: alien invasion, time travel and the multiverse. The future entire Earth is threatened by the invasion of a phantasmal force known as the Black Horror, which appears to be impervious to all weapons developed by man. To where will Dr Silas White turn for the rescue of the planet?

On Spec Magazine Managing Editor and Sunburst Award Board of Directors Chairperson Diane Walton joins us for this episode. She talks about her first love in science fiction, Andre Norton's novel The Stars Are Ours!, and reading everything in the genre she could get her hands on, including the works of Clifford Simak and James Blish. Diane also shares the story of how an Alberta writers' group gave rise to On Spec Magazine (one of Canada's major speculative fiction magazines), and how she eventually ended up in the Editor's chair. She tells us about the challenges of finding funding for the publication, navigating a publishing universe where print and electronic versions of the magazine are available, what this means in terms of garnering a global readership, what it's like running the operation off the side of her desk, and the kinds of stories that get her excited. And we learn about how the Sunburst Award (Canada's juried award for literature of the fantastic) ignited. Diane talks about what's involved in running the award, and why Canada even needs two awards for speculative fiction. Lastly, she reflects on how Canada's sf&f scene has changed over the years. Our conversation took place in the impromptu bloginhood studio in the Dublin convention centre at the 2019 Worldcon last summer.

Targaryen TV show possible? Check. Clifford Simak movie on Netflix? Check. Far Side back? Check. Showtime turns down The Kingkiller Chronicle TV show? WHAT?! BUT LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA!

This week marks the publication of Jonathan's new hard-SF anthology Mission Critical, the title of which reminded Gary of the first SF serial he read, Hal Clement's Close to Critical. This lead, by our usual process of carefully structured random free association, to a discussion of Clement as an example of an author whose fiction is not widely read anymore, but whose influence nevertheless shows up even in writers who may not have read him. In Clement's case, it was carefully extrapolated SF environments and creatures, but Jack Vance and Clifford Simak are also mentioned as writers whose influence has long outlived their popularity. This somehow led to a discussion of SF's oldest saw, the sense of wonder, how it can be achieved by current writers, and whether the SFnal sense of wonder can really be achieved in fantasy or horror. After rambling through a few other topics, including our favourite dragons, we mentioned a few new and upcoming books we're looking forward to (see the links below).  And then we noted that this week represents the 10th anniversary of the death of our old friend, Charles N. Brown, who in many ways was the inspiration for this podcast.

Chatbots er sådan nogle automatiske snakkeprogrammer, som vi fx kan møde på firmaernes support-sites, eller som en slags automatiserede sælgere i Facebook Messenger. Chatbots fik en solid dosis hype for et par år siden, uden at særligt mange firmaer kom længere end pilotprojekter. Men firmaet Botsupply mener, at tiden er moden til at give den gas, med mere avancerede programmer, som de kalder ‘conversational Artificial Intelligence’. Henrik Søndergaard Andersen og Simon Svankjær Morel fra Botsupply er gæster i studiet og fortæller mere om hvad en chatbot egentlig er, hvordan de virker, og hvorfor man - måske - skal overveje at bruge dem i sin virksomhed eller organisation. Til sidst i episoden er der tips om både bøger, serier og smarte ure.

Before Coode Street goes on hiatus for a few weeks when each of us travel to various exotic realms, we address a question which Jonathan raised about new editions of work by Clifford Simak and Tom Reamy—namely, what happens to the work of older writers in a world in which the midlist has all but disappeared? How do writers “read back” in the genre—or do they need to at all? How do writers as diverse as Joe Abercrombie and Neil Gaiman come across the work of Fritz Leiber, for example, or how do writers like Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Kij Johnson encounter Lovecraft? And for readers and writers who came of age in the 1990s or later, does “reading back” mean the same thing it did for earlier generations? Then we chat a bit about our plans for Coode Street at MidAmericon in August, what we're reading now, and what we're looking forward to reading on the break. As always, we hope you enjoy the episode, and hope you don't miss the podcast too much! See you in late July!

As January’s icy grip tightens, John E. O. Stevens, Fred Kiesche and Jeff Patterson find sanctuary in the thrilling days of yesteryear. This time out they have procured the services of Jamie Todd Rubin to act as their guide for their voyage back in time to the Golden Age! Generally defined as the period between 1939 and 1950, the Golden Age was dominated by John W. Campbell’s editorship at Astounding. It was when Science Fiction acquired a degree of depth and characterization through the works of Isaac Asimov, Lester Del Rey, C.L. Moore, L. Sprague De Camp, Leigh Brackett, A. E. Van Vogt, Robert Heinlein, Jack Vance, and Clifford Simak. Jamie talks about reading those issues of Astounding and what he learned about SF and fandom, then and now. Also discussed are Jamie’s latest Analog column, plotting-vs-pantsing, and pre-internet flame wars. And the Hoarsemen start the year with a MASSIVE list of books, comics, and TV consumed. Host Fred Kiesche, John E.O. Stevens and Jeff Patterson with Jamie Todd Rubin.

While our intrepid podcasters brave the wilds of London, a new episode for you (hopefully)! With no specific topic in mind, and having sent a greeting to Sleepless in Wagga, Gary and Jonathan answer questions: from Guy in Toronto about single malt whisky; from Fred in New Jersey on: Clifford Simak. Cordwainer Smith. Fritz Leiber. Are they forgotten?; Agents of SHIELD; and making a pitch for a Greg Egan retrospective short story collection; and from Michael about how crowd-funding has changed the anthology market. All in all, thanks to the friends of the podcast, it made for an interesting and entertaining episode. We hope you enjoy it. We'll be back soon!

Tonight, I'll be reading you stories as you drift off to sleep, with the sound of some relaxing rain and distant, rumbling thunder. I have prepared over two and a half hours of new stories for you, after which the rain and thunder will continue for some time, until they also slowly fade out and leave you in a deep and profoundly restful sleep. I want to thank Justine Perry for allowing me to narrate her stories, and the late, great Clifford Simak and Carl Jacobi for giving us “The Street That Wasn't There”. Enjoy these stories, and may you sleep happily and restfully.Magnigame, School Photogaph, and Date Night were all written by Justine Perry. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was written by Ambrose Bierce.
