This episode originally broadcast on Marcy 14, 2025. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/03/binary-system-podcast-448-beastars-and-star-trek-lower-decks/The episode of Beastars that we recapped this week isn't quite as unsettling as last week's episode. That civet cat is still off-putting and weird, but my goodness do the animators do an excellent job with Yaya's animation. The team that animated that zebra in the noodle shop, however, can go sit in a corner and think about what they've done.We really hope everyone has already watched Season 3 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, because we have an in-depth recap of episodes 1 and 2 with all the spoilers.For a little extra flavor, we included a discussion of "Rule of Three" and "Comfort Blanket", two podcasts which talk about the things we love and also give us fascinating information about why they work so well. Elizabeth's also reading an excellent Naomi Novik short-story collection, and Kathryn's reading another book in Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series, a collection of lovely little children's adventures that have so much heartbreak embedded in the very fabric of the stories that she's not sure if she can keep reading them. (She's totally going to keep reading them.)This week's outro is a clip from Aqua by Ekilorea Sound.Correction: Elizabeth and Kathryn (mostly Kathryn) repeatedly mispronounce the Beastar "Yaya" as "Vaya". Sorry about that. We're also still not 100% we're getting Legoshi and Rouis's pronunciations right either.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

This book is everywhere so Katie finally gave in and immediately started a Reddit argument. Campy, rife with misogyny, reminiscent of an early 2000's teen girl series - it's something when Katie recommends Fourth Wing over another book. Just read for the vibes, man.The Zodiac Academy: The AwakeningBut, seriously, read A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik or The Cruel Prince by Holly Black instead.

Mysterious Galaxy's annual summer bingo is in full swing and we are (still) getting ready to throwdown!!  This week to complement the accounting of Smack's reads last month, Gabi details some of her recent reads that will be feeding into our annual Throwdown next month.  We begin by spending way too much time talking about a book of murder-themed logic puzzles - proving that Smack absolutely kills (haha) at birthday gifts - then discuss some incredible worldbuilding in an excellent anti-empire werewolf fantasy novel and a couple of novellas featuring sapphic Sherlock Holmesian stories on Jupiter.  After a quick lesson on tardigrades and bemoaning her attempt to dip another toe back into the world of Sarah J. Maas, Gabi finishes by celebrating her first impressions of the Scholomance series, which has set the bar high for the rest of the trilogy, so we'll see how that goes... Books discussed this episode include: Murdle Vol. 1 by G.T. Karber The Silvered by Tanya Huff Mossa & Pleiti series by Malka Ann Older The Three Little Tardigrades by Sandra Fay The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas The Scholomance by Naomi Novik

What does Naomi Novik have to do with *checks notes* Blippi? Jordan's pick this week is A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik, otherwise known as "a fucked up Hogwarts run by Slytherins."

We're back after the summer break, and are joined by Anne Perry, the publishing director at Jo Fletcher Books, to talk about Naomi Novik's 2015 fantasy bestseller, Uprooted. Based upon aspects of rural Polish folklore, Uprooted follows Agnieszka, a plain village girl who is shocked to learn that she is to be taken away to live with The Dragon, a powerful and distant wizard who lives in a tower at the edge of the valley, and protects them from a malevolent and expanding forest. Anne, Peat and Dan discuss the feminine voice and perspectives the book offers, from friendship to romance, and why this was unusual when it was initially sold in 2014. We talk about the malevolent Wood, its echoing of Mythago Wood, and how it spawned an era of new, female oriented fantasy. We also discuss the various aspects of the male characters, and how outward hostility can hide redemptive transformation, when the female enters into their domain in the correct way.The Judge offers a brilliant talk on a topic very relevant to writers of all stripes, namely the issue of copyright of characters, showing cases as diverse as Sherlock Holmes, Only Fools And Horses, Discworld, and Spawn.Lastly, Captain Halfmilkcarton insists that Lt Bungalow clean up his mess, without much success.Join us next time when we'll continue our talk with Anne Perry, talking about the state of publishing in 2023, how this affects authors, booksellers, bookshops, and the pros and cons and indie and self-publishing.IndexAnne Perry Interview [0:00:00 - 55:37]Skit (55:45 - 58:37]The Judge's Corner [58:38 - 1:14:36]Credits and close [1:14:37 - 1:15:12]

Back to the south we go with King Abd al-Rahman II!

The magical kind of spell and the written kind of spell are historically linked. This reflects how saying a word can change the state of the world, both in terms of fictional magic spells that set things on fire or make them invisible, and in terms of the real-world linguistic concept of performative utterances, which let us agree to contracts, place bets, establish names, and otherwise alter the fabric of our relationships. In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about word magic! We talk about how the word magic systems are set up differently in three recent fantasy books we like: Babel by R.F. Kuang, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, and the Scholomance series by Naomi Novik. We also talk about linguistic performatives: why saying “I do” in a movie doesn't make you married, aka Felicity Conditions, aka an excellent drag name; performativity as applied to gender (yup, Judith Butler got it from linguistics); the “hereby” test; and how technology changes what counts as a performative. Transcript available soon. Announcements: People often ask us to recommend interesting books about linguistics that don't assume prior knowledge of linguistics, so we've come up with a list of 12 books that we personally recommend, including both nonfiction and fiction books with linguistically interesting elements! Get this list of our top 12 linguistics books by signing up for our free email list.

Two simple questions to ensure your character development drives your plot.Every time I edit a novel, I ask two questions about the protagonist. They're deceptively simple questions, but they reveal so much about the character.More than that, they reveal how the story should end.In other words, these two questions are the keys to:. . . your character development,. . . your climax,. . . and your resolution.In this episode, I'll walk you through these essential questions:What does your character want?And what does your character need?You'll learn:Where to find your character's want and need in your story (hint: one is clear at the beginning, and one is clear at the end)How to combine the want and need for an amazing climax5 tips to find YOUR protagonist's want and needWhy these questions are perfect for the editing process AND when you're writing your first draftAnd more!Plus, I'll show you an example of character wants and needs at play in a fantastic novel: The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik.

Me and Bailey talk about the book "A Deadly Education" by Naomi Novik. Episode 3 [2/22/23] Contact Info:

The most important moment in your story is the moment when your protagonist is faced with a decision.Do this or do that? Stay or go? Speak or remain silent? Flee or fight?In fact, your protagonist will face dozens of decisions throughout your novel. They'll face at least one in every scene: moments where they experience a crisis, when whatever happens next hinges on the decision they make.But how long should this moment take? Does your protagonist need to waffle between two options for several pages in every scene? Do they even need to know the full weight of what they're deciding?In this episode, I'm sharing the art and science of the perfect crisis. You'll learn:When to write a very long crisis and make your character's decision-making process very clearHow to write a short and snappy crisis your reader might not even notice (but YOU know it's there!)Why there MUST be consequences for your character's choiceHow to include a crisis in every scene WITHOUT making your character annoyingly indecisiveHow to create far-reaching consequences of the crisis choice—even if your character can't predict them in the momentAnd more!Plus, I'll break down the opening scenes of two novels with very different crises.You'll see how Natalie C. Parker writes a five-page-long crisis in Seafire—and why it works.And you'll see how Naomi Novik writes a crisis so short you could blink and you'd miss it in Spinning Silver. Yet the choice the protagonist makes sparks the conflict of the whole book.A well-written crisis can be the absolute best moment in a scene. Find out how to master the crisis in this episode!This episode was inspired by a listener question from David. Thanks, David!Have an editing question you'd like answered?
