Today on Benny Asking people questions we cant to John and Cat from Riot Baby.  Riot Baby is a children's act that believes in the art of play. The art of experimenting, and giving everyone a voice. Their shows filled with the energy from any punk experience reminding us all again, how capable children are, and how eclectic, and open.  Enjoy Riot Baby The post Power to the children with Riot Baby appeared first on Benny Time.

Essays on speculative/science fiction explore the futures that feed our most cherished fantasies and terrifying nightmares, while helping diverse communities devise new survival strategies for a tough millennium. The explosion in speculative/science fiction (SF) across different media from the late twentieth century to the present has compelled those in the field of SF studies to rethink the community's identity, orientation, and stakes.  In Ida Yoshinaga, Sean Guynes, and Gerry Canavan's edited volume Uneven Futures: Strategies for Community Survival from Speculative Fiction (MIT Press, 2022), more than forty writers, critics, game designers, scholars, and activists explore core SF texts, with an eye toward a future in which corporations dominate both the means of production and the means of distribution and governments rely on powerful surveillance and carceral technologies. The essays, international in scope, demonstrate the diversity of SF through a balance of popular mass-market novels, comics, films, games, TV shows, creepypastas, and more niche works. SF works explored range from Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi, 2084: The End of the World by Boualem Sansal, Terra Nullius by Claire Coleman, Watchmen and X-Men comics, and the Marvel film Captain America: The Winter Soldier, to the MaddAddam trilogy by Margaret Atwood, The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, The Wandering Earth by Liu Cixin, and the Wormwood trilogy by Tade Thompson. In an era in which ecological disaster and global pandemics regularly expose and intensify deep political-economic inequalities, what futures has SF anticipated? What survival strategies has it provided us? Can it help us to deal with, and grow beyond, the inequalities and injustices of our times? Unlike other books of speculative/science fiction criticism, Uneven Futures uses a think piece format to make its critical insights engaging to a wide audience. The essays inspire visions of better possible futures—drawing on feminist, queer, and global speculative engagements with Indigenous, Latinx, and Afro- and African futurisms—while imparting important lessons for political organizing in the present.

We spoke with Tochi Onyebuchi back in 2020 as part of "Ten Minutes with...", when his award-winning novella Riot Baby was still new in the world. Since then Tochi's been busy but has still managed to deliver another incredible novel, this time Goliath. Today Jonathan and Tochi discuss what he's been reading, what he'd recommend, his holiday reads, and what he's been working on. As always, our thanks to Tochi. We hope you enjoy the episode.

This guest speaks to the very core of what we do here at Music Mothers and Others – helping us make the music industry more of a literal and metaphorical family! John Cheong-Holdaway is a parent, musician, member of the punk kids band RIOT BABY and now, booker for the new “Family Jams” concert series in suburban Brunswick in Melbourne. The idea is to make events that our own families wanted, using original music, drawing on the existing eclectic community, and building capacity that is inclusive and welcoming. If you're lucky you might still get be able to tickets for the last few shows for in November and December 2022, and if not keep an eye and ear on their YouTube and socials for their next adventures.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it possible for one person to write both award-winning literary speculative fiction and Marvel's newest “Captain America” series and also be a former civil rights lawyer, a film school graduate, and be less than 35 years old? If the person in question is author Tochi Onyebuchi, the answer is yes. In this episode, Julie and Eve talk with Tochi about his new novel, Goliath, a sweeping science fiction epic set in a post-apocalyptic America only thirty years from today. They also talk about Tochi's other new big project: in April Marvel Comics is debuting a new “Captain America” series, written by Tochi, that stars Sam Wilson as the first Black Captain America. In this wide ranging interview, Julie, Eve, and Tochi discuss everything from how he interwove themes of race, class, gentrification, climate change, and allyship in Goliath to what it was like for Tochi to go from being a Marvel fan to a Marvel author. Tochi describes, too, the array of themes that he is exploring with this new “Captain America” series: “If Captain America is a mimesis or even a synecdoche of America, then…what is it gonna look like if Captain America, as embodied in Sam Wilson, is enlisted in an effort at regime change? … What is that going to mean for Captain America, as is the subtitle of the book, ‘a symbol of truth'?” Tochi Onyebuchi is the author of the new novel Goliath, which is a New York Times Editor's Choice pick and the most anticipated pick for USA Today, Bustle, Buzzfeed, Goodreads, and Nerdist. He is also the author of the “Beasts Made of Night” series, “The War Girls” series, Marvel's “Black Panther Legends” limited series, and Marvel's upcoming “Captain America: Symbol of Truth” series. His first novel for adults, Riot Baby, was a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and NAACP Image awards, and winner of the New England Book Award for Fiction, the Ignite Award for Best Novella, and the World Fantasy Award.

Tochi Onyebuchi's new novel Goliath (Tordotcom, 2022) features a phenomenon familiar to those of us who live in cities—gentrification. Like the gentrifiers of today who push out old-timers with high rents and coffee boutiques, Onyebuchi's urban colonizers are taking over property in communities that have suffered from underinvestment and systemic racism. But unlike gentrifiers of today, who often leave behind comfortable lives in the suburbs, the gentrifiers in Goliath are returning from comfortable lives on space stations where those with means had fled years earlier to escape pollution and environmental degradation on Earth. Onyebuchi sees in the story of David and Jonathan—returnees from who take over a home in a Black and Brown community in New Haven—parallels to frontier narratives. “I've read a lot of westerns and western-inflected literature, and the ways in which people have written about the American West were very fundamental in how I approached the characters of David and Jonathan. You have people going out west historically for all sorts of reasons. ‘Oh, that's where my fortune is.' Or they're like, ‘Oh, like, there are no rules out there. I can totally remake myself.'” In David and Jonathan's case, their relationship is broken. “They think, ‘Oh, if we just change the scenery, that'll make things better, we'll be able to start over.… We can make this work on Earth. It's virgin territory, this place where we can build something together.' That in many ways is the animating impulse, of course, completely or almost completely disregarding the fact that Earth is already home to a lot of people.” Tochi Onyebuchi is the author of the Beasts Made of Night series; the War Girls series; and the non-fiction book (S)kinfolk. His novel Riot Baby—which he discussed on the podcast in 2020—was a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and NAACP Image Awards and winner of the New England Book Award for Fiction, the Ignyte Award for Best Novella, and the World Fantasy Award. He has degrees from Yale, New York University, Columbia Law School, and the Paris Institute of Political Studies.

Riot Baby is author Tochi Onyebuchi's first foray into adult fiction, a “fiery” response to the “horrifically regular death” of unarmed black men and the non-indictments of officers responsible. It has been heralded by critics as “searing" and "devastating,” garnering a long list of awards and nominations. Although Riot Baby has also been called "dystopian," Onyebuchi explains why that isn't exactly the case when it comes to this work of speculative fiction. Plus, hear from nurse practitioner and poet Cortney Davis about her book, “I Hear Their Voices Singing.” How can genres like science fiction and poetry help us to better understand - or cope with - our world?

Tochi Onyebuchi joined the Providence Community Library as part of their PCL Reads series on Wednesday, February 10th to discuss Riot Baby, a companion read for the 2021 Reading Across Rhode Island program. Co-hosted virtually by Amy VanderWeele at South Providence Library and Rhode Island Center for the Book, the conversation was moderated by Jonathan Pitts-Wiley, the Artistic Director of Mixed Magic Theatre (MMT) in Pawtucket. To watch a recording of the interview, visit the Providence Community Library Youtube Page. Find Riot Baby at your local library, as an ebook through RI's eZone, or contact Amy Vanderweele at the South Providence Library for multiple copies for a book club. The music in this episode is Soft Inspiration by Scott Holmes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Tochi Onyebuchi is the author of Beasts Made of Night, its sequel Crown of Thunder, War Girls, and his adult fiction debut “Riot Baby,” published by Tor.com in January 2020. He has graduated from Yale University, New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Columbia Law School, and L'institut d'études politiques with a Masters degree in Global Business Law. His short fiction has appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction, Omenana, BLACK ENOUGH: STORIES OF BEING YOUNG & BLACK IN AMERICA, and elsewhere. His non-fiction has appeared in Uncanny Magazine, Nowhere Magazine, Tor.com and the Harvard Journal of African-American Public Policy. He is the winner of the Ilube Nommo Award for Best Speculative Fiction Novel by an African and has appeared in Locus Magazine's Recommended Reading list. Born in Massachusetts and raised in Connecticut, Tochi is a consummate New Englander, preferring the way the tree leaves turn the color of fire on I-84 to mosquitoes and being able to boil eggs on pavement. He has worked in criminal justice, the tech industry, and immigration law, and prays every day for a new album from System of a Down. ABOUT THE BOOK Rooted in foundational loss and the hope that can live in anger, “Riot Baby” is both a global dystopian narrative and intimate family story with quietly devastating things to say about love, fury, and the black American experience. Ella and Kev are brother and sister, both gifted with extraordinary power. Their childhoods are defined and destroyed by structural racism and brutality. Their futures might alter the world. When Kev is incarcerated for the crime of being a young black man in America, Ella―through visits both mundane and supernatural―tries to show him the way to a revolution that could burn it all down. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rhodyradio/message

Tochi Onyebuchi is the award-winning author of several works of speculative fiction. His most recent novel, Riot Baby, strikes at the heart of our collective reckoning with systemic racism. It is a searing, powerful, and deeply insightful take on what it is to be Black in America, on our prison industrial complex, on what it is to have power and freedom.The title of this episode is a subtle nod to the science fiction that influenced Tochi's own writing. It also evokes the powers of Ella, one of the book's main protagonists. Riot Baby explores the question of what a young Black girl like Ella would do if she grew up to discover she had powers far beyond what most of us could imagine. It's an incredible work of fiction that brings to life the moment in a way that no other book I've read right now is doing. Tochi is a deeply thoughtful human being who has some real wisdom to share on how we move in this world of ours. On how we live, on how we connect. If you care at all about questions of systemic racism, systemic injustice, on what it is to reach reconciliation - if that's even possible as a country as a result of our long history and legacy of slavery and racial oppression - then this conversation is for you.p.s. and be sure to look for Tochi's forthcoming work of non-fiction (S)kinfolk, which speaks to Tochi's own emotional and intellectual journey through his own education in Blackness.

President Biden makes good on a campaign promise, issuing an executive order banning discrimination of sexual orientation and gender identity. Correcting the record on the historic importance of newly confirmed and openly gay Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Plus, the Human Rights Campaign highlights recent dramatic strides towards workplace equality. Those stories and more on our LGBTQ News Round Table. Guests: Grace Sterling Stowell — executive director of the Boston Alliance of Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Youth, or BAGLY. E.J. Graff — Journalist, author and managing editor of the "The Monkey Cage" at the Washington Post. Janson Wu — executive director of GLAD GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders. Later in the show: At first glance, Mama, Ella and Kevin seem to live in a here and now achingly familiar to a number of Black families. But very quickly, "Riot Baby" reveals itself to be a time-traversing tale of the future infused with the frustration and rage linked to incidents of the recent past. Author Tochi Onybuchi takes readers on the journey of siblings navigating their past, current and future worlds. "Riot Baby" is our February selection for “Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club." Guest: Tochi Onyebuchi — author of Riot Baby, his first adult novel, which is available in bookstores and online now.

This cocktail of X-Men superpowers, the prison industrial complex, hyper-militarization of police, and hundred of years of racism spotlighted with viral videos of today is an ambitious novella. The alternate history, just a little bit, to the left of our world takes on a lot, maybe too much. We discuss trauma porn, actual prison rodeos, god-like powers, and the future of incarceration in Tochi Onyebuchi's novella Riot Baby.

Through a partnership with nationally syndicated radio show, DeDe in the Morning and Stacks 92.1 (WQTX-FM), here's a recommended title that you can download or stream  from our special webpage.  

Andy and Dani read Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi. This book has force behind every one of the 174 pages. The injustice of the prison system, what it means to have super powers, Dani has to drink every time she says “interesting,” and Andy is a smarty-pants.

Tochi Onyebuchi explains how his new book Riot Baby is an act of liberation where black rage, black anger, and feelings of just revenge for injustice are acts of liberation against the White Gaze. He also reflects on science fiction, the burdens of representation and why imagining black people with superpowers is so important in a world where the lives of black people are devalued by dominant American society. Tochi also offers his thoughts on why the HBO series Watchmen is such a powerful meditation on white supremacy and black pain. Chauncey DeVega continues to call out the “hope peddlers” and other fools who actually believed that there was a “rebellion” in the Department of Justice and by consigliere courtesan Attorney General William Barr against his master King Trump. Chauncey also explains why the real winner of the last Democratic Party primary debate was not Elizabeth Warren – but actually Donald Trump. And Chauncey DeVega shares a Valentine's Day public ode and love letter by a right-wing propagandist to his beloved cult leader King Trump.

Charlestown has no laundromat - how did gentrification leave the neighborhood's lower income residents without a crucial life service? A monorail for Logan International? This year Massport may finally make the decision to streamline ground transportation at the airport. And is it worth it to recycle now that it costs Boston more to haul away recyclables than trash? It's our local news round table. Guests: Gin Dumcius - Digital editor for the Boston Business Journal. Seth Daniel - Senior reporter with the Independent News Group, which includes the Chelsea Record and Revere Journal. Sue O'Connell – Commentator for NECN and WGBH and Co-Publisher of Bay Windows and the South End News. Later in the show… At first glance, Mama, Ella and Kevin seem to live in a here and now achingly familiar to a number of black families. But very quickly Riot Baby reveals itself to be a time-traversing tale of the future infused with the frustration and rage linked to incidents of the recent past. Author Tochi Onybuchi takes readers on the journey of siblings navigating their past, current and future worlds. Riot Baby is our February selection for “Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club." Guest: Tochi Onyebuchi - author of Riot Baby, his first adult novel, which is available in bookstores and online now. ————————————————— Show Credits: You can find UTR on the web at https://www.wgbh.org/news/under-the-radar-with-callie-crossley Subscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts.
