Narrator David Rintoul takes on the complex investigations of odd, unusual, and often inconsequential crimes that populate Alexander McCall Smith's latest parody of a Scandi police procedural. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss how Rintoul's innate seriousness contrasts perfectly with the spate of philosophical dialogue and unending stream of comments and asides. Detective Ulf Varg, who takes himself very seriously, bandies about crimes and motives with his sidekick Blomquist and coworker Anna in the Department of Sensitive Crimes.

Narrator Ali Ahn brings plenty of personality and heart to Emiko Jean's young adult rom-com about a high school senior who has discovered an incredible secret —her father is royalty. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss this fun and sweet story in the spirit of THE PRINCESS DIARIES. Raised in California by her mother, Izumi Tanaka doesn't know her father's name until she discovers it accidentally, and she is shocked to learn he is the Crown Prince of Japan. When Izzy is invited to travel to Japan to meet her family, Ahn's delivery reflects her conflicted reactions to the many unfamiliar customs and expectations—and her handsome bodyguard. Strong-willed Izzy worries she'll never truly be accepted by her father's traditional family. A delightful start to a new series. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

Emma Dabiri narrates her work with the same clarity, thoughtfulness, and directness with which she wrote her guide to go beyond beyond the nebulousness of “allyship” to the action of building coalitions for change. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss this short but powerful work by the Irish Nigerian author, which delves into the history of racial formation and the corresponding power and legal structures, and advocates for the need to do away with these structures to build new futures. Dabiri's compelling writing, her warm and accented voice, and her smooth and well-paced narration combine to capture your attention, making for an audiobook you'll want to return to, and share.

Narrator Ben Sullivan's strong, clear voice and intentional pacing complement these tales of scientific misdeeds. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss Sam Kean's examination of scientists who disregarded ethics to achieve scientific glory--though hindsight shows that unethical means almost always result in faulty methodology. Listeners will be aghast at the actions of these scientists, who sound more like characters from pulp science fiction. These chronicles are important because of their impact on the present day.

Narrator Ben Onwukwe brings out the humor and pathos in Mike Gayle's story of Jamaican widower Hubert Bird, who discovers friendship in unlikely places. AudioFile's Michele Cobb tells host Jo Reed about this rich listening experience, thanks to both Gayle's layered story and Onwukwe's performance. Hubert's daughter, Rose, thinks his life is full of friends and fun, but he actually lives an entirely solitary existence. When Rose announces an unexpected visit, he has to find some fake friends quickly. Hubert's adventures are hilarious and heartwarming, and Onwukwe's depiction of him makes this production shine. Listeners will root for Hubert, rejoice at his newfound friendships, and wish that they, too, could have a cuppa with this lovely man. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

Welcome to episode 124 of photography insights. This show i'm featuring another artist called Elizabeth Moon who has been recommended by both Jeanine Michna-Bales and Linda Alterwitz! It's been really great recently to feature such different artists, who all have mutual respect for each others work. Giving up their time to spend time with myself has been brilliant. Elizabeth has been in to photography for decades too, so understands darkrooms, film and light. She's an interesting character who has been through those hard elements of life. Seeing loved ones leave this world is never easy and Elizabeth has managed to capture this time through her photography art. You will listen to us talk about 2 different projects, one about her mother and her father too. I would urge you to look at the photos on my website for clarity of what we are discussing. I know from conversations its sometimes hard to understand through audio only, but trust me its a beautiful memory she has dedicated to this time. It's also a humbling point for myself too, as you will hear and I did my best not to get upset. Documenting the last 40 months of her mothers life going through Parkinson's disease, through the eyes of carer hit a nerve with people as we all experience elements of being mortal. We also talk about her other projects too and how useful it is to keep your old negatives and work, as you will never know what you can do with them. Elizabeth seems to find interesting ways to showcase everyday objects of photography, whether its the chemicals themselves or 35mm negatives. Even her work about her own body is interesting, why she chose this and methods used to light it. In this one we discuss: telling a story looking at yourself examining your body perception abstractness from colour Ecdysis + 35000 negatives! no lines in art heat guns, maths + memory chemigrams Quote I've chosen a line from our conversation and its: “we make art not really truly knowing what it’s about.” Links Website - http://www.elizabethstone.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elizabethstonevisualartist/ Friends For all your c41 developing needs - https://filmdev.co.uk/ Large format cameras, medium format & accessories - https://chroma.camera/ Great and affordable zines from Static Age - https://www.staticage.co.uk/ Facebook group Dont forget this resource is there for anyone - https://www.facebook.com/groups/photographerstheraphy Competition Time its the last few days of my competition - ends Feb 28th 2021.

Amanda and Jenn discuss books about the arts, kid-friendly audiobooks, Victorian-esque reads, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Riot Insiders, Penguin Random House Audio, and Flatiron Books, publishers of Frankie. Questions 1. I love your show! I was really getting into a slump of only reading the highly marketed books. You help me broaden my bookshelf so thanks! My husband and I recently start "reading" books together. He listens to the audio book because he is a busy MA student and drives a lot while I enjoy reading physically. We just finished Bird Box and both really enjoyed it! My husband is the finicky reader. He enjoys Stephen King and thrillers. We have Dark Matter by Blake Crouch on our to read list. I tried recommending Into the Drowning Deep, but the mermaids were too far (even though I think he would love it). We would like recommendations for thrillers/suspense with some supernatural happenings and at least one likeable/smart character. He has read most of Stephen King where as I really enjoy fantasy novels. I can do most horror/suspense. Sci Fi could be doable if it had the right characters. Please stay in the adult category as my husband does not enjoy "teen angst". Side note: I would just need a trigger warning for violence against women and children (which you always provide). Thank you in advance! --Kyla and Kyle 2. I would love ideas for books that are relationship focused but have intellectual conversation, like my favorite movies - Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight. What I love about those is that you feel so much intimacy and tension - the way one tiny thing could make everything fall apart. I have On Chesil Beach on my radar already. Normal People by Sally Rooney also came close to what I'm hoping for. --Jenny 3. Hi Ladies! Love the podcast! I have loved the Dana Stabenow, Kate Shugak mysteries. Though I love her series, I would love a recommendation for a Native American own voices author from Alaska or North Western Canada. I prefer fiction, and it does not have to be a mystery. --Jessie 4. I’m looking for recommendations for my school’s book club. We are a group of high school educators who enjoy reading broadly, so we have tried to have books that delve into different departments’ interests like The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (science) or Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (History). I would love some book recommendations where the text is heavily influenced by art or music to better represent those departments. Bonus points for diverse authors or perspectives! In the past we have also loved Station Eleven, Enrique’s Journey, The Nightingale, Educated and The Storied Life of AJ Fikry. Thanks in advance for your help! --Sarah 5. Hi! I've recently discovered audio books as an excellent way to get more books in my life on my commute every morning. I drop my kids off at two different places and I'm usually in the car for about an hour. My difficulty is finding something that I enjoy but is also appropriate for my kids to listen to, they are 2 1/2 and 4 but are VERY observant and like to mimic what they hear. So far I've listened to Blackout by Connie Willis and the The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden. I love fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, and mystery. Any recommendations you have would be awesome, thank you! --Heather 6. My dad loves traditional sci-fi. Heinlein is his favorite author ever, but he also enjoys Zelazny, Asimov, etc. I'm hoping to find new authors for him, and have had some success with the Expanse, The Martian, and with books by Elizabeth Moon. However, the Vorkosigan books, the Murderbot Diaries, Red Mars, and the Honor Harrington books all fell flat for him. Do you have suggestions for modern books in the classic sci-fi style? --Books for Space Dad 7. Hiii! :) I'm wondering if you know of any books similar to the Victorian "sensation novels" such as Lady Audley's Secret, Wilkie Collins' books etc, but which reflect modern values. I find I'm completely charmed by the trope that I call "mild mannered Victorian gentleman reluctantly and/or accidentally solves a crime," that isn't gritty or over the top but still has a lot of unforseen twists; however, I've grown so tired of books that only have white straight characters. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! --Mild Mannered Modern Reader Books Discussed The Dead Duke, His Secret Wife, and the Missing Corpse by Piu Marie Eatwell Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes (TW: violence against women and children (and everyone)) Stephen King read-alikes episode My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due (TW: graphic violence, harm to women and children) The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer A Separation by Katie Kitamura Two Old Women by Velma Wallis Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice (rec’d by Jessica and Michelle) Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro Blood, Water, Paint by Joy McCullough (tw: rape) The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal Waypoint Kangaroo by Curtis C. Chen The Impossible Girl by Lydia Kang (rec’d by Jamie C) Daughter of Mystery by Heather Rose Jones (rec’d by Jenn's friend Ellen)
This week on Amtower Off Center, host Mark Amtower talks about some of the big issues facing small contractors with Elizabeth Moon, AFCEA's Small Business program Manager, USmax Corp. President and CEO David Pak, and Eric Strauss, director of Business Development at Connected Logistics.
This week, Sarah and Amelia fantasize about the perks of being (mostly) alone on an entire planet as they read Elizabeth Moon's Remnant Population. Featuring discussions of gender, ageism, and alien oral sex. Amelia says "self-actualization" at one point and it makes her feel very smart and cool.
In this episode we discuss Space Opera and all the endless tangents. This is a LONG conversation (we almost split it in two, but we’re trying to catch up episodes to our current reading topic). We talk about losing our solid footing on genre definitions, defining the term “worldbuilding”, when re-reading books from your youth goes horribly wrong, wondering just what is up with those TV and movie tie-ins, misogyny infecting Sci-Fi classics (Oh, hello there Sad Puppies), the delight of scientists reading Sci-Fi, and so much more. Your Hosts This Episode Anna Ferri | Meghan Whyte | Matthew Murray | Amanda Wanner Space Opera We Read (or kinda): Recommended Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding (lukewarm recommendation by a reader who is deeply ambivalent about anything speculative, Sci-Fi, or Fantasy in nature) Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke (not spectacular but a slow-burn, exploratory read) Diving into the Wreck by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (difficult to like narrator warning) Ancillary Mercy (and the entire Ancillary Justice series) (HIGHLY recommended series) Accessing the Future: A Disability-Themed Anthology of Speculative Fiction edited by Kathryn Allan Lightless by C.A. Higgins Read Sassinak by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon Knights of Sidonia, Vol. 1 by Tsutomu Nihei, translated by Kumar Sivasubramanian Space Opera edited by Brian W. Aldiss (Features stories from 1900 (!) - 1972. Most are from the 1950s) More Adventures on Other Planets edited by Donald A. Wollheim Stitching Snow by R. C. Lewis (Not so much Space Opera and not enough girl mechanic) The Year’s Best Military SF & Space Opera 2015 edited by David Afsharirad Did Not Finish Armada by Ernest Cline (read this Wikipedia article about a video game urban legend instead) Red Rising by Pierce Brown Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks (would try another one by this author) The Star Dancers by Spider Robinson and Jeanne Robinson The Sheriff of Yrnameer by Michael Rubens A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge (so long - for 900+ pages, would prefer to try the better known A Fire Upon the Deep, which was recommended by another group member) The Warrior’s Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold (recommended to us - ran out of time this month; try it as an audiobook?) Koko the Mighty by Kieran Shea (really enjoyed Koko Takes a Holiday) Other titles and media mentioned Mass Effect video games are totally Space Opera, especially if you read all the internal game encyclopedia entries like Matthew. The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven, and Jerry Pournelle The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin (not exactly Space Opera but totally recommended) Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein - Military Sci-Fi or Space Opera?? Space Opera by Jack Vance - An opera troupe in Space Red Spider White Web by Misha Nogha The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Have you not read this yet? It’s short - go read it!) District 9 movie Firefly TV series & Serenity movie & the Firefly comics (pretty much all recommended highly) Please skip Sassinak and read Elizabeth Moon’s excellent connected series set in the world of Paksenarrion (Fantasy not Sci-Fi), or at least read the three books of The Deed of Paksenarrion. All those zillion Pern books (Science Fantasy series) by Anne McCaffrey Dune by Frank Herbert (hefty but worth a read - recommended) The Martian by Andy Weir (about space but not Space Opera and definitely recommended) Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Vol. 1 (comic book series) (recommended even if you don't care about Transformers. Really! ) Ascension (Tangled Axon, #1) by Jacqueline Koyanagi (Meghan mis-spoke and called this book “Ascendent”) After Man by Dougal Dixon (so cool!) Octavia’s Brood edited by Walidah Imarisha, and Adrienne Maree Brown Samuel Delaney - We discuss Dhalgren which is not space focused, but Delaney has a few space books to try. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman, and Jay Kristoff (YA Space Opera - read before the month, recommended) A Confusion of Princes by Garth Nix (read after the episode, recommended) Links etc. OK Go Upside Down & Inside Out (music video shot in zero gravity) The review of Ancillary Justice Anna tried to read without being spoiled for the book The Wikipedia article on Space Opera bring up many aspects of the definition we discussed and is worth a skim, at least. Scientists read sci-fi and have opinions about it Read some stuff (here, here, and here are a few to start with) about Sad Puppies if you care about issues of diversity in publishing, book awards, and media more generally. Check it out: Afro futurism Book Riot sympathises with Sci-Fi fans Xenoanthropology Questions What (the heck) is space opera? (We thought we knew! We were so naive.) What is Worldbuilding? Any suggestions of your favourite instances of worldbuilding? Is bug punk real? Who else wants a “Ten Rules to Break When Dating a Space Pirate” from Sarah MacLean? Are Star Trek tie-in novels Space Opera? What’s the relationship between Space Opera/space-based Sci-Fi and the history of Colonialism? Check out our Pinterest board and Tumblr posts for all the Space Opera people in our club read (or tried to read), and follow us on Twitter!

Elizabeth Moon appears at the 2013 Library of Congress National Book Festival. Speaker Biography: Elizabeth Moon describes herself as "a small-town Texas girl," who was born and raised in the Lone Star state just a few miles from the Mexican border. She started writing poems and stories at an early age. But as the child of a single mother, she realized she needed to earn a living, and writing did not offer a promising career. So she enrolled at Rice University as a physics major. It wasn't her calling and she graduated in history instead. All the while she continued to write -- mostly science fiction -- in her spare time. Moon sold her first book in 1987 and has since won both the Nebula and Heinlein awards. Her new book is "Limits of Power."

Welcome to the thrilling first episode of The Writer and Critic, a monthly podcast dealing with news, books reviews and the odd bit of idle gossip. After 10 minutes of rambling where your hosts Ian Mond (he would be the critic) and Kirstyn McDermott (she would be the writer) talk about the podcasts that have inspired them (and Ian mention his ego, while Kirstyn forgets something important), the podcast then gets down to some news. This months news items include the the Elizabeth Moon controversy (cue groans from Kirstyn) and when authors go bad. Ian brings up this blog post by Martin Lewis which argues that genre review and critical blogging on the web needs to be better. Then we get to the actual core of the podcast (it only takes about thirty minutes). Kirstyn recommended that Ian read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, while Ian recommended that Kirstyn read Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente (due for publication in April 2011). Much interesting conversation ensues. We hope you enjoy this first episode. It's a bit raw around the edges, and Ian could have done more research (naughty Ian), but here it is in all its raw, unedited and rambly glory! In the next episode, due mid-December, Ian and Kirstyn will talk about Feed by Mira Grant and The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan.
