Podcast appearances and mentions of Samuel R Delaney

This month, we come face to face with deep sea species in our blackwater diving special. Join us this episode as we jump into the fascinating world of blackwater diving, where expert scuba divers plunge into the open ocean at night in order to catch a glimpse of our favourite deep sea faces. We talk with expert blackwater divers to find out what it's like to venture into the open ocean at night, when deep sea species rise from the depths to feed. How do they capture such remarkable photographs in such challenging conditions? What are some of their favourite species to encounter? What is it like to see bioluminescence in person and how is this related to science and the discovery of new species? Whether you're a pro-diver yourself or prefer to stay dry, this episode is jam-packed with interesting stories and insights into this poorly understood environment. Thanks again for tuning in, we'll deep-see you next time! ------------------------------------------------------------------  Support us by becoming a patron and joining our deep-sea community!

No queer person is an island. Even if we start off that way.Today we meet Robin Jeffrey and we're talking about the book that saved her life: Stars In My Pocket Like Grains of Sand by Samuel R. Delaney.Robin Jeffrey is the author of the series of classic murder mysteries with scifi-twists, The Cadence Turing Mysteries and the paranormal romance series The Night. A former academic librarian, she holds a B.A. in English Language and Literature from the University of Washington and a M.S. in Library and Information Science from the University of Kentucky. Robin currently resides in the Pacific Northwest.Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is a science fiction masterpiece, an essay on the inexplicability of sexual attractiveness, and an examination of interstellar politics among far-flung worlds. First published in 1984, the novel's central issues―technology, globalization, gender, sexuality, and multiculturalism―have only become more pressing with the passage of time.Connect with Robin Jeffreywebsite: robinjeffreyauthor.cominstagram: @thesidekick_igOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for  new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookTo purchase The Clothesline Swing visit: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780819567147To purchase .exe A Cadence Turing Mystery visit: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780578959344To purchase Hungry Is The Night visit: https://books2read.com/hungry-is-the-nightBecome an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

In this episode, Phil and JF discuss Vanessa Onwuemezi's, "Dark Neighbourhood," a tale of scintillant darkness from her debut collection of the same name. This strangest of strange stories is set in a vast encampment of destitute yet hopeful people whose lives consist entirely of waiting for their turn to step through the iron gates of the Beyond. Living off the dregs of civilization, they seem the last of our kind. They are the ones who, having made it to the front of the line, have the dubious honour of contemplating directly the mystery that awaits us all. Unlike anything we've covered on the show, "Dark Neighbourhood" is a chilling and moving story that elicits interpretation as elegantly as it resists it.

Today's podcast episode surrounds the concept of imagining and one particular genre: science fiction. Although the conversation focuses on one specific genre, the subject elicits questions about what writing within a particular genre does for your work. Which genres do you write in and what ways do they help you imagine? Does writing in a particular genre open doors to reimagine reality?   Questions 1. How do you learn craft between workshops, writing classes/seminars, reading and practice? What do you think the right balance when it comes to learning craft? Do you ever feel out of balance and why? 2. The question Octavia Butler was often asked: What good is science fiction to Black people?”    Show Notes Octavia Butler, Positive Obsession essay can be found here: https://www.loa.org/news-and-views/1779-octavia-e-butler-positive-obsession  Samuel R Delaney, The Motion of Light and Water, https://www.eileenmcginnis.com/blog/2018/10/19/turn-and-face-the-strange-samuel-delany-queering-science-fiction-queering-fatherhood Check out the wonderful world of Helen Oyeyemi here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/80808.Helen_Oyeyemi  Robert Jordan, Wheel of Time, https://www.goodreads.com/series/41526-the-wheel-of-time  Crystal Wilkinson again! - https://www.crystalewilkinson.net/ Hurston-Wright Foundation (https://www.hurstonwright.org/) has some upcoming workshops for emerging Black writers definitely worth checking out  Lighthouse Writers Workshop - https://www.lighthousewriters.org/  Neil Gaiman, American Gods, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30165203-american-gods  Deep Reading taught by Michael Duszat, The Reader Berlin, https://www.thereaderberlin.com/weekend-workshop/the-deep-reading-workshop-with-michael-duszat/ - sign up for this class whenever it is on next!

Barry and Morgan talk about Twin Peaks. A lot. Especially since it just might explain EVERYTHING about Barry’s writing. Do readers today demand more closure in books, and if so, why?

Louis Chude-Sokei is a Nigerian-Jamaican- American writer and scholar at the University of Seattle, Washington. In this episode, he discusses the music culture surrounding Nigeria's internet scammers (known as “Yahoozees”), his own experience as a black immigrant in Los Angeles' Inglewood neighborhood during the era of NWA, and the way blackface performance is perceived outside the U.S. He's the author of The Last Darky: Bert Williams, Black-on- Black Minstrelsy, and the African Diaspora (Duke University, 2006), which examines the life of Bert Williams, a top vaudeville performer-- a black blackface performer-- and one of the most famous entertainers of his era. His new book, The Sound of Culture: Diaspora and Black Technopoetics (Wesleyan, 2015), tackles the complex relationships between blackness, robotics, and technology. In this way, the book is in conversation with Afrofuturism. First coined by the cultural critic Mark Dery, Afrofuturism is a growing field of art, music, and academic scholarship which finds its roots in sci-fi imagery in black culture: Sun Ra, George Clinton, Octavia Butler, and Samuel R. Delaney. Afrofuturism seeks to find alternates to the current sometimes harrowing circumstances of contemporary black life through imagined futures and emergent possibilities. Its expression is visible in the work of Janelle Monae, producer Flying Lotus, and rap duo Shabazz Palaces. In his conversation with Ben Bush for the Organist, Chude-Sokei emphasizes the emerging field's pre-20th century roots as well as non-US aspects that have until now fallen outside the critical paradigm related to Afrofuturism—from PT Barnum's black cyborg to the metaphysical echo of instrumental dub reggae.   Links: A playlist based on songs discussed in this episode (and in The Sound of Culture)  Louis Chude-Sokei on Joice Heth, PT Barnum's black cyborg Bina48 on the Organist  Video trailer Credits: Interview by Ben Bush.
