It's not unusual to hear music in a spaceport arrival lounge. After all, if aliens didn't enjoy music, I'd never have been able to travel. But this sounded familiar. Disturbingly familiar.

How did I feel? | Copyright 2019 by Tony Ballantyne. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

There was something sinister about the representative's perfection. The oiled and combed dark hair, the even white teeth, the polished fingernails. His immaculate dark jacket and trousers, the pressed collar and cuffs of his shirt. He looked as if he'd dressed in the shop itself, not ridden up the damp valleys from Manchester on some dirty, smoking steam train, inevitably acquiring the grime and the dust from the tired upholstery of a grubby carriage. No one who had undertaken the walk down the wet high street should have kept their shoes so polished and shiny. | Copyright 2017 by Tony Ballantyne. Narrated by Claire Benedek.

This lecture, given by Professor Tony Ballantyne, Head of the Department of History and Art History, University of Otago, explores some of the challenges and opportunities that are facing scholars in the Humanities in New Zealand. It is particularly concerned with questions of communication, from the classroom to policy debates, from the changing infrastructure for publication and review to questions of language itself. In exploring these issues, it argues for the continued importance of some key aspects of the traditional idea of the University (especially 'the lecture'), makes the case for a much more co-ordinated drive to make Humanities research accessible and also identifies some significant ways forward for the Humanities in New Zealand in a 'digital age'. 8 December 2014

Coming up… Main Fiction: “The Region of Jennifer” by Tony Ballantyne The region of Jennifer extended to about thirty kilometres. Out there, amongst thedecaying factory belt, daffodils pushed their heads through the tired earth of the canal banks. The Steam Barons may have lost their power, but the world still bore their scars. Even so, Jennifer was at work to make things beautiful. Tony Ballantyne is the author of Dream London, the Penrose series and the Recursion series. He has also written many
First Story: “A Night in the Tropics” by Jeffrey Ford The first bar I ever went to was The Tropics. It was and still is situated between the grocery store and the bank along Higbee Lane in West Islip. I was around five or six, and my old man would take me with him when he went there to watch the Giant games on Sunday afternoon. While the men were all at the bar, drinking, talking, giving Y.A. Tittle a piece of their minds, I’d roll the balls on the pool table or sit in one of the booths in the back and color. The juke box always seemed to be playing “Somewhere, Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin while I searched for figures, the way people do with clouds, in the swirling cigar and cigarette smoke. Jeffrey Ford is an American writer in the fantastic genre tradition, although his works have spanned genres including fantasy, science fiction and mystery.
