Wake up in a post-Iraq War allegory menaced by the Blue Man Group in Part One of the 2010 TV miniseries Riverworld.

In this episode of the Hugo and Nebula Readership Podcast the two sisters are reading To Your Scattered Bodies Go or Riverworld by Philip Jose Farmer. It won the Hugo in 1972.  The reason for the double name is that the first book - To your scattered bodies go - is now rarely published by itself but can be more easily found with its series under the series name - Riverworld.  In this novel filled with historical characters, we ultimately were awash with questions.  Listen and find out why. Here are some time markers for you: 01:24 Book jacket read 03:50 History lesson 10:39 Big Themes 13:10 Other peoples' reviews - did that help us? 18:44 Protagonist and friends 23:40 Storyline and pacing and world-building, oh my 26:15 Adaptations and games 29:00 Suicide express and characters  31:20 Action writer, pulp writer 34:50 Women Characters - well, it's a thing 43:40 Four Questions

Jordan and Luke travel to Riverworld to watch the first failed attempt to create a TV series about fish eggs that give birth to dead famous people on an alien world with a whole lot of rivers.

It’s a packed house on Failure to Launch this week as we examine Riverworld, a 2003 SyFy original, except it’s not because it’s based on a fantasy book series. Strap yourself in for some tedious world building! Basically a bunch of people who died at different points in history wake up together, naked and screaming, in Riverworld; a big ol’ planet run by aliens, probably. Along their journey, our protagonists meet: - A neanderthal, whose savage attempts to kill people are bad - Emperor Nero, whose classy attempts to kill people are good! - Cameron Daddo, whose American accent is bad - A fish-alien dude, whose paddle-steamer building abilities are good! Will they find out what Riverworld really is? Can they get back to Earth? Will these and other mysteries be solved? Absolutely not, this is a pilot. They can’t blow this stuff early. Read the books if you’re that desperate, nerd. Reviewers: James Ferris, Lucy Shaw, David Shaw, Alex Malone, Harry Brimage Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

ZORK One 04. (Season -02 episode -37). Oh gosh. I just remembered this is the one that I recommended all those things in, right? Okay well the Author I couldn't remember was named Philip José Farmer, AND his book was called To Your Scattered Bodies Go, not "Riverworld", AND it was written in 1971, not 1978 or whatever I said. Jeez what a huge moron I was. I remembered his name the second I stopped recording, I swear. The other author was Vonda N. McIntyre. Check out The Exile Waiting and Dreamsnake. It wasn't an official Daniel K Recommends, but I do recommend you check out Gogs; it's actually better than I thought it would be. The audio that played at the very end of this episode was stolen from a special patreon-only episode of the Star Wars Minute podcast, a podcast I unreservedly recommend to absolutely everyone, not only star wars fans. Definitely check it out. Happy binging!

Wolfe, Part 5: Riverworld. In 2010, Syfy took their second shot at adapting Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld novels for the small screen. This time around, Robert Hewitt Wolfe was brought in to write multiple drafts of the troubled miniseries. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Max and Mike examine the miniseries on the whole. We discuss the challenges of building an expansive mythology, the use of historical figures in a fantasy setting, and the unusual path the project took from script to screen.
