Welcome to Mystery in the Radio Waves. I’m your host Elizabeth McIrvin. Mystery in the Radio Waves is a podcast where a cast of actors and comedians perform a classic radio play and then improvise jokes, characters, and stories. What the heck are radio plays and where do they come from? Well...The Golden Age of Radio was an era of radio in the U.S. in the 1920's to the 1960's where the main source of entertainment was radio programming before people owned televisions on a larger scale. The programs would have the same range as tv shows today. There were weekly medical dramas, romances, mysteries, true crime, etc. It's such an interesting part of entertainment history that we hope to revive a little on this podcast. Just the great storytelling, not the racist/sexist crap. This week we are performing the old time radio play "Cold Equations" from the radio series "X-Minus One". The original airdate was August 25, 1955. After we perform the play, we get into some improv! Thank you so much for listening! Please rate and subscribe! It really helps us out!

The UNSONG Audiobook is now complete. Two-hundred and forty-four thousand, one hundred and forty words. Thirty-two hours of audio. Let me know of any episodes you think really need to be re-recorded. For the rest of this year, the further episodes will be my favorite short stories from the same author, which I have been looking forward to. Here is the hour-long retrospective episode. If you have not read the book and this is where you're starting, be advised of spoilers, and of content warnings about violence and mental illness. It includes an interview with the author, announcements of the future of the podcast, recommendations for further reading or listening, my reflections on the themes of the novel, the ability to change the world, finding patterns where none exist, random acts of violence, and resisting despair. It also includes a very personally vulnerable account of how the novel makes me feel about the historical development of this century so far, the position of my life within that, and the place of you and I and each other in the world. According to my time tracker, I have been writing, reworking, and editing this episode for almost 18 total hours in my text editor alone, to say nothing of the audio editor. On the one hand, I might talk about myself too much, and on the other hand, I consider it misleading if I present a "view from nowhere" as if it were the only one. Everyone has a viewpoint on the subject they are discussing, and this one is mine.

The pilot of an 'Emergency Dispatch Ship' delivering vital medical supplies to a colony world in urgent need of them to treat a potentially fatal sickness discovers that he has a stowaway on board. Based on a short story, 'The Cold Equations', first published in Astounding Science Fiction magazine, in August 1954; and later in Tom Godwin's short-story collection The Cold Equations & Other Stories, in 2003.That's the official boring description, and it's the one I'll stick with because there is no way to discuss this story without spoilers. Cold Equations is a famous tale, and I'm sure many of you are aware of it. This is one of the best dramatizations of it I've ever heard. Definitely worth 20 minutes of your time!X Minus One was an extension of Dimension X which aired on NBC from 1950-51. The first fifteen scripts used for X Minus One were scripts used in the airing of Dimension X; however, it soon found its own little niche. The stories for the show came from two of the most popular science fiction magazines at the time; Astounding and Galaxy. Get full access to The Reader Crew at joshuajames.substack.com/subscribe

John W. Campbell was the controversial longtime editor of Astounding Science Fiction who single-handedly directed the course of science fiction in the 1940s, a time that is not called the "golden age of sci-fi." However, I argue the golden age continued through the 1950s as writers who got their start under Campbell began publishing on their own. Book recommendation: Mission of Gravity by Hal Clement. Robert Silverberg on the golden age. The Internet Speculative Fiction Database's "Most-Viewed Short Fiction." Cory Doctorow on Campbell. My essay on "The Cold Equations."

This one is in our top 10 episodes of the series, maybe even top 5!

It is the year 2178, a group of researchers from earth are trying to collect data on an unknown planet when a tornado destroys their shelter and medical resources. Immediately afterwards the entire team falls sick. In order to deliver the cure to them, a small ship, an Emergency Dispatch Ship, or eds is sent carrying the serum, and a pilot. This tiny ship works on primitive rocket fuel and so the amount of fuel it carries is specially calculated. However as this ship sets off for its destination, the pilot makes a shocking discovery: there's another human onboard the ship, a human, whose mass wasn't taken into consideration when fuelling the ship. According to protocol, there is only one solution. The cold equations is a story of logic, morality, and humanity.-- This is the largest audiobook I've narrated so far. It feels nice to upload the 11th audiobook so close to 11th august. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kendsilva/message

A tiny ship is carrying medical supplies to a research team, but this tiny ship might not have the fuel required to complete its journey. If you've finished hearing the trailer and are curious about the "Protocol" I mentioned, I invite you to think of the Movie "300", specifically the "THIS IS SPARTA" scene. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kendsilva/message

“We call it a fundamental design constraint.” The distinguished professors discuss the Dorothy Stratton vehicle Galaxina and Sci Fi Channel airtime-filler The Cold Equations. Topics include the Star Wars title crawl done wrong, what makes parody fail, an attempt at explaining Galaxina's overly complicated plot, why Galaxina is called Galaxina, the proper mood for bad movies, the hidden dumbness of the ethical conundrum at the core of The Cold Equations, the centrality of snow to Hallmark Channel movies, the damage caused by relying too much on dialogue to establish plot, the budget-friendliness of the bottle episode, The Cold Equations as a potential play, really bad nineties TV CGI, the addition of a corporate bad guy to The Cold Equations, the necessity of taking time to establish psychological tension between characters, violations of the 180-degree rule, the epithet “space honkey,” whether some of these movies would be better if they had been shot in the 1950s or 1960s, the Batmobile, and the smoldering competence of Dorothy Stratton.

“The way we discuss what needs to be done now will shape what it is possible to do. This is not a moment to fix a machine, this is a moment to compose new cultures.”This week’s guest is Nora Bateson, Director of the International Bateson Institute, author, film-maker, and founder of the Warm Data Lab. Nora is a magician when it comes to getting people to live the relational and dynamic, the embodied and incompressible. If you’re a podcast enthusiast you’ve probably already bolted a bracing dose of her warm wisdom on shows like Team Human and Future Thinkers, but of course we live in unique and unprecedented times, so I’m honored that we got to sit down for a US-Sweden Zoom call and talk about how current world events touch down in the messy and beautiful everyday.Notes:Bateson Institute WebsiteNora’s Essay, “Eating Sand”MarketPlace reading group for the CORE Econ TextbookSupport this show on Patreon for secret episodes, the Future Fossils book club, and more awesome stuff than you probably have time for.Grab the books we talk about on Future Fossils and Amazon will chip me a little of the proceeds, at no cost to you.Theme Music: “God Detector” by Evan “Skytree” Snyder (feat.

We're once again joined by Kevin Kelsey of Heradas.com to discuss Dark Eden, by Chris Beckett (https://amzn.to/2TRcpX0). We've (re-)read this book and all loved it, and have a lot to dig into!

Join award-winning science fiction writer John Kessel for a seafood feast as we discuss why he suddenly has two novels coming out within a year two decades after his last one, how attending the 1969 St. Louis Worldcon changed his life, the ways in which his objections to "The Cold Equations" and Ender's Game are at their heart the same, his early days attempting to emulate Thomas M. Disch, the time-travel short story he couldn't whip into shape for Damon Knight, which author broke his 26-year Nebula Awards record for the longest gap between wins, the secret behind the success of his many collaborations with James Patrick Kelly, and more.

In this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the 2nd Doctor story The Enemy of the World, and the Big Finish 1st Doctor story The Cold Equations. For our review of The Enemy of the World, we discuss the ambiguous politics the Doctor has found himself in, and how he handles an uncertain situation. How does the packed story unfold, how do the characters interact with each other, and how does the story differ, now that all the episodes have been found? For our review of The Cold Equations, we discuss how they handled this story with only two voices. Did we like the hard science fiction setup of the story? Why were there so few women? How did we think the reveal of Oliver’s secret was handled? Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro 00:51 Enemy Of The World review 32:55 The Cold Equations review We love feedback!

Ill Wind. Did you know the Federation has a bi-annual solar sailing race? Neither did we. But they do, and it’s the job of Starfleet’s flagship to oversee event and make sure no one cheats. It’s all part of Ill Wind, a four-part DC comic series from 1995 penned by Diane Duane that not only delivers the fun of TNG but also a message about growing older, past regrets, and new horizons. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones join the race as we go through Ill Wind to find out about one of Picard’s favorite hobbies, locate the areas of the 1701-D with the best sensor resolution, and ask why Troi is so sleepy all the time. In news we find out who will be writing the Data-centric follow up to Cold Equations, learn why the books in the upcoming Seekers series suddenly have titles, check in on the full 2014 slate from Pocket Books, and get an update on IDW’s plans for John Byrne’s photo comic series. 

In this episode, Sina and Michael interview New York Times Best Selling Author David Mack about his “Cold Equations” Trilogy. Find out what the original story outline for the trilogy was, about Dave’s writing process for these stories, and about the Cold Equations / choices that the characters had to make.

David Mack. No one has shaken up the Star Trek universe quite like David Mack. His contributions to the miniseries "A Time to..." helped bridge the gap between Insurrection and Nemesis, his Destiny series revealed the Alpha and the Omega of the Borg, and his latest work—Cold Equations—resurrects Data and sees the continuing transformation of Picard. In this episode of Literary Treks we're joined by David to discuss the evolving nature of the post-television Star Trek universe, the genesis of Destiny, why the Borg had to go, why Picard is no longer the man Beverly remembers, and we learn the real story behind the naming of the upcoming series "The Fall." In our news segment we look at Greg Cox's upcoming TOS novel The Weight of Worlds, a new book that helps you learn How To Speak Klingon like a warrior, and David R. George III's Allegiance in Exile. We also speculate on what Countdown to Darkness will bring us, share our thoughts on the Mirror Universe of Ongoing #15 and #16, and reveal how a theme from Chris's own life has been stolen and used as a sinister plot device. 

Dayton Ward. The publication of David Mack’s Storming Heaven in March 2012 marked the end of the Vanguard saga—or so we thought. As it turns out there’s a little more to the story. It comes in the form of what author Dayton Ward calls “a coda”—just a little something extra for fans of this series that is set in the TOS time period. In this, the premiere episode of our books and comics show, we’re joined by Dayton to discuss how this novella, “In Tempest’s Wake,” came about. In the process we also find out more about the inspiration of the Vanguard series itself, Dayton’s desire to write Captain Proton stories, and whether or not there’s a smoking jacket in Dayton’s closet. In our news segment we cover upcoming releases in the literary world including Christopher L. Bennett’s continuation of the Romulan War story for the Enterprise line, David Mack’s second installment in Cold Equations, Silent Weapons, and we look at three upcoming releases from IDW on the comic front: Countdown to Darkness, Star Trek Ongoing #15, and Brannon Braga’s Hive #3.
