Case and Sam are joined by Jesse Fresco to take another pass at Sphere, the 1998 Michael Crichton adaptation starring Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, and Samuel L. Jackson. They dig into a killer sci-fi premise, a stacked cast, an undersea mystery, and why the finished movie somehow feels smaller, flatter, and less frightening than all of those ingredients suggest.

Katharina und Daniel suchen in dieser Folge verzweifelt und auch vergeblich nach dem Plot und etwas Tiefe in Caroline Wahls neuem Roman “1999 Meter über dem Meer”. Finden tun sie dagegen eine neue Tiermetapher (Adler) im Bestseller “Fremde. Die Geschichte einer Ehe” von Belle Burden. Der Hype um dieses Buch erschließt sich den Hosts allerdings nicht. Dazu gibt es einen verklitschten Hefekuchenunfall. Natürlich auch für den viermaligen Lieblingsgast des Podcast, Dörte Hansen. Dörte erzählt von ihrem Angstgegner erstes Kapitel, dem Ringen um drei bis vier Sätze pro Tag und über Recherchen per Landwirtschaftspodcast. Und schlussendlich versteigt sich Katharina sogar zu der unglaublichen Aussage, dass sie den All-Time-Favourite von Georgette Heyer noch lieber gelesen hat als Jane Austen. Oh my god, shocking!

This is part two of our Star Trek 60th anniversary series. Robert Picardo, the Emergency Medical Hologram on Star Trek: Voyager and a member of The Planetary Society's board of directors, reads a vintage letter from Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry asking fans to join a brand new organization called The Planetary Society. Tim Russ, who played Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Lower Decks, and Picard, joins us to talk about what the Vulcans can teach us about the discipline we'll need to survive in deep space, and shares his own experience as an amateur astronomer who contributed data to NASA's Lucy mission. Karim Diané, Jay-Den Kraag on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, talks about playing a Klingon who defies everyone's expectations of what it means to be strong. And Bruce Betts, chief scientist of The Planetary Society, is here with What's Up, discussing Star Trek technologies.

It's the week after Astronomicamp and we are tired! Or, I assume we are because I'm writing this the week before camp on the assumption that we'll be so tuckered out, we'll need an extra week of bonus time.

Welcome, Bridgertons (that's weird, let's workshop it) to this episode of the TFTB Book Club, wherein we discuss Kevin's latest pick: Exhalation by Ted Chiang. This collection of smart, high-concept short stories had something that appealed to each member of the Bridge Crew, with tales that The Guardian described as an "...expert balance of the emotional and the cerebral."But before that, you've likely noticed TFTB's glow-up, and we're happier than a Vulcan calculus class to welcome a special guest to the Bridge, artist/designer Eduardo Valdes!  We nerd-out with Ed about sci-fi art, his process and inspirations including comics legend Bill Sienkiewicz (see one of James' favourite pieces), Ken Kelly's amazing Micronauts package art, and the late movie poster maestro Drew Struzan. We also take a look back at this cruel summer for a little "In Memoriam" segment as we bid adieu to the genre and entertainment greats that have left us recently: Sam Neill, Peter Cullen, Tim Curry, and Dolly Parton. (Yes, really.) Stick around to the end of the episode for our next book review pick. Hold on to your butts, it's a good one. Eduardo Valdes links: https://evaldes.weebly.com/ https://www.instagram.com/edvcreative/Let us know if there's a book or film that you want us to review on the podcast!Check out our new and improved website: https://talesfromthebridge.com - and let us know what you think!Reach us on social media or email us at talesfromthebridgepodcast@gmail.com Link tree https://linktr.ee/talesfromthebridge

Moini, Bijan www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

Vamonos a la Nosferatu! – Nebst einigen sehr schlechten Wortspielen fühlt Dr. Horror in dieser Folge gemeinsam mit Historiker Matthias Reismann dem legendären Vampir und Dracula-Abkömmling auf den Zahn! Und geschichtlich geht es hoch her – oder tief rein, mitten ins 19. Jahrhundert nämlich, wo die Entzauberung der Welt durch die aufklärerische Vernunft ganz neue Gespenster auf den Plan ruft. Der Vampir verkörpert vor allem das, was dem braven Bürger undenkbar erscheint: Sex, den Tod und Magie! Die Frage ist nur, wie umgehen mit der großen Heimsuchung? – Denn so eine Vampirplage erledigt sich nicht von selbst. Und die reine Vernunft nimmt sich dem Vampir gegenüber durchaus zahnlos aus. Eines ist jedenfalls klar, in dieser Folge geht's mit dem Untoten ans Eingemachte – ultimative Folge für Vampirjäger und alle, die es werden wollen.

Et si Sherlock Holmes était aussi une figure de la science-fiction ?Depuis sa création par Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes est devenu bien plus qu'un simple détective. Entre observation scientifique, logique, technologie, mystère et fascination pour l'inconnu, le célèbre enquêteur de Baker Street n'a cessé d'influencer la culture populaire et d'être réinventé à travers les époques.Dans cet épisode, nous revenons sur les liens entre Sherlock Holmes et la science-fiction : comment le personnage de Doyle s'inscrit-il dans l'imaginaire scientifique de son époque ? Pourquoi sa méthode, fondée sur l'observation et la déduction, résonne-t-elle autant avec les codes de la science-fiction ? Et comment Holmes a-t-il nourri, directement ou indirectement, notre manière d'imaginer les détectives, les technologies et les futurs possibles ?Avec Robin Pailharey, essayiste et auteur de La Figure de Sherlock Holmes. Une énigme intemporelle, nous explorons également la naissance du personnage, son rapport à Arthur Conan Doyle et les raisons de sa longévité exceptionnelle. Une plongée dans l'un des personnages les plus fascinants de la culture populaire, à la frontière entre enquête policière, science et imaginaire.Les livres cités par l'invité :L'homme qui grimpait d'Arthur Conan Doyle Le Crime Supreme d'Isaac Asimov Sherlock Holmes à travers le temps et l'espace par Isaac Asimov L'Aventure de l'assassin de métal de Fred Saberhagen disponible dans Musée de l'Holmes : Anthologie de Jacques Baudou et Paul GayotLe Détective Volé de René Réouven  Sherlock Holmes en Orbite de Martin H.

CELESTIAL CHILDREN While Alina recovers from the upheaval in Alpheios, her every thought is consumed with worry for all those she holds dear. Particularly for her brother Gordo, who is now missing. To complicate matters further, the powers of her young son, Mandin, are manifesting in unexpected ways. Fearing the worst, Alina searches for her brother only to discover that an advanced species, known as the kronosapiens, emerge with carnage as their agenda. Everyone Alina loves is in danger. The local factions can't agree on a plan of action. And the threat is rising. As the kronosapiens pursue dominance over humans, can Alina find a way to protect those closest to her? Or will the rise of this new species eradicate the entire human colony … including her own family? TOPICS OF CONVERSATION: What Celestial Children is about — the capstone of the Children of Alpheios trilogy. A young mother fights to protect her family in a society where genetic engineering is the norm and a corporation owns reproduction. Dystopian, biopunk, and Diana describes it as Gattaca-like. What we owe our families — the question underneath all three books. Biological family versus found family, and Diana says the answers aren't easy. A planet built to kill you — gamma storms, temperature extremes, a few livable pockets. Diana drew the map by hand, worked out the biomes, then designed a human who could survive there. Two societies, one minority — most people in the city are engineered with traits selected before birth. The Origins refuse all of it and live underground. Diana uses them to look at how a society treats the people it decides don't count. A new species, and a deliberate flip — the kronosapiens can harden their skin, fling rocks with their minds, and put a shock through you. The females hunt. The males feed the young. Two mothers, same instinct — Alina and Kora both have children in danger and go about it very differently. Diana compares them to Ripley and the aliens. The corporation that runs everything — Genodyne brought humans to the planet, its founder was chancellor for most of his life, and it holds a monopoly on medicine, pharmaceuticals, and reproduction. It also poisoned its own customers, and now it's handing out the cure for free. ABOUT THE AUTHOR DIANA FEDORAK is a speculative fiction writer from Las Vegas, Nevada. In a prior life, she retired as a Colonel from the United States Air Force. She enjoys writing complex characters in high-stakes science fiction and fantasy worlds. Diana's debut novel, Children of Alpheios, was released in early 2023 and swept the Firebird Book Awards for Dystopian, Science Fiction, and Speculative Fiction. Her sequel, Origins Progeny, was selected as an Editor's Pick by Booklife's Publisher Weekly. When she's not writing, she spends time in her own universe with her husband, children, and their German Shepard. CONNECT WITH DIANA FEDORAK!

Jill Lepore says our liberal democracy has been replaced by corporations and technology. But what can we do about it? In today's episode, the historian joins Morning Edition's Michel Martin for a conversation about her new book The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State. Lepore says she wanted to put a name to a new kind of governance she's observed in which functions of nation states are being taken over by private interests and run by machinery. She and Martin discuss the way technology has historically maligned representative democracy – and what we can do about it.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

A fugitive believes he has found a world willing to give him everything he has lost, including someone who seems made for him. But the closer paradise comes to matching his deepest desires, the harder it becomes for him to trust what stands before him. Killer by James E. Gunn. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Author James Edwin Gunn makes his debut on the podcast today. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1923, Gunn was a science fiction writer, editor, scholar, and anthologist whose remarkable career spanned decades. Gunn wrote about 20 novels and more than 100 short stories. One of his novels, The Immortals, became the basis for the television series The Immortal, starring Christopher George. If you loved the show as much as I did, you might be interested to know that some episodes of The Immortal can be found on YouTube. In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to science fiction, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named Gunn its 24th Grand Master in 2007. He was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2015. Open the September 1953 issue of Rocket Stories to page 47 and you will find Killer by James E. Gunn… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A lone Watcher abandons the safety of his hidden post when a human survivor falls into enemy hands. Outnumbered and almost unarmed, he must turn a frozen alien moon into a weapon before the Rumi escape with their prisoner. The Watchers by George H.

From September 10, 2007. Hosted by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) This is a very different episode of Astronomy Cast. As we mentioned last week, Pamela recently attended the Dragon*Con science fiction convention in Atlanta, Georgia. While she was there, she participated in a special live edition of Astronomy Cast with special guest Dr. Kevin Frazier. Kevin is a NASA scientist, and the science consultant for the TV shows Battlestar Galactica and Eureka. He and Pamela work through physics and astronomy in popular science fiction. What they get right, and what they get wrong... so very wrong.   Role of Science Consultants in Media: Dr. Grazier shares insights into his work as a science consultant, emphasizing the importance of scientific accuracy in storytelling and how it enhances narrative credibility. Analysis of Battlestar Galactica and Eureka: The conversation explores specific examples from these series, highlighting where scientific principles are accurately depicted and where creative liberties are taken. Common Misconceptions in Sci-Fi: They address prevalent scientific inaccuracies in science fiction, such as sound in space and unrealistic space travel mechanics, and discuss their impact on public understanding of science. Balancing Science and Storytelling: The discussion delves into the challenges writers face in integrating complex scientific concepts into engaging narratives without overwhelming the audience. Audience Interaction: Recorded live at Dragon*Con, the episode features questions from the audience, providing additional perspectives and inquiries about science in media.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

This week marks the 60th anniversary of the first-ever episode of Star Trek airing in the US on NBC on September 8th, 1966. The series ran for three seasons but would eventually transition to the big screen in 1979 in the form of director Robert Wise's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Whilst a critical and commercial success, The Motion Picture had something of a rushed production, and due to time constraints, Wise was never fully satisfied with the version released and saw it as an unfinished work in terms of the edit and the visual effects. 22 years later, Paramount allowed Wise to meticulously rebuild the film, re-edit it and redo a considerable amount of the film's visual effects. That revised cut is now the definitive version of Wise's film, a film that was first covered on Film '89 way back in May 2019 on Episode 28. But in a fitting parallel to the film, the editing of that episode was also very much rushed (our editor was about to embark on a long family holiday and rushed the edit), to the point that it's always been an episode that he was never happy with (aside from the outstanding contribution of our guest hosts, Bill Scurry and John Arminio). So, given the looming 60th anniversary of Star Trek, that original episode has been completely re-edited, the audio quality improved where needed, extraneous content removed, and a significant amount of new material added to extend the runtime by 9 minutes. We feel that a film as beloved as Star Trek: The Motion Picture deserves the same care and attention that we gave later Trek films on Film '89, and we present to you the episode we should have put out in the first place. As well as an in-depth analysis of Wise's film, Skye, John and Bill also give the rundown of their all-time favourite Star Trek episodes. So, happy 60th anniversary Star Trek, and we hope you enjoy Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Editor's Edition! All content is the property of Film ‘89 and is protected under applicable copyright laws.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with TJ Marbois, founder of Tobiko, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans LLMs, data sovereignty, knowledge management tools like Obsidian, and Terence McKenna's ideas about an increasingly weird future. They explore how AI is simultaneously centralizing power through data control while decentralizing software development capabilities, allowing more people to build their own tools and escape big tech ecosystems. Drawing on his experience at Apple's special projects group (the team that built the iPod and later iPhones), TJ discusses his vision for personal AI assistants—what he calls the "R2-D2 belongs to you" principle—where advanced technology serves individuals rather than corporations. The conversation touches on everything from quantum encryption and local manufacturing with ESP32 microcontrollers to the economics of future society, biometric data unions, and why distributed trust matters more than ever as we approach what both describe as an increasingly strange technological inflection point.

The concept of R2D2 belonging to you represents a critical vision for the future of artificial intelligence and personal technology. When thinking about robots and AI assistants that follow us around and know everything about us, the question of ownership becomes paramount. These systems will know incredibly intimate details about our lives, from our health data to our daily habits, and if they are controlled by centralized corporations or governments rather than individuals, we lose fundamental sovereignty over our own information. The science fiction of Star Wars and Star Trek provides roadmaps for how we should think about these technologies, showing us both the positive possibilities and the warnings we need to heed about centralized control.2. Local AI models and distributed computing represent a pathway to technological sovereignty that is becoming increasingly viable. While large language models currently run primarily in centralized data centers, the technology is rapidly advancing toward a future where powerful models can run locally on personal computers and devices. This shift is crucial because it means individuals can have full control over their AI assistants without relying on API calls to external servers. Combined with open source infrastructure and open weight models, this creates the foundation for truly personal AI that cannot be controlled or monitored by external parties, whether corporations or governments.3. Data unions and collective data ownership offer an alternative model to current centralized data collection practices. Rather than having individual data harvested by large tech companies who profit from it, the concept of data unions suggests people could collectively pool their data for specific beneficial purposes while maintaining ownership and control. For example, in healthcare, millions of people could share anonymized biometric data to train medical AI systems that are incentivized to keep people healthy rather than treat them when sick, inverting the current insurance model to align incentives with actual health outcomes rather than profit from illness.4. The democratization of manufacturing and robotics through accessible technologies like ESP32 microcontrollers and local fabrication tools is creating new possibilities for distributed production. Just as desktop printers seemed impossible to early printers who controlled book production, we are approaching an era where individuals and small communities can manufacture sophisticated electronic devices and robots locally. This includes the ability to use language models to generate code for microcontrollers, order custom PCBs, and use desktop machines for component placement. While high quality manufacturing will still require larger operations, this gradiation of capability allows for much more local innovation and reduces dependence on centralized manufacturing.5. The concentration of power in technology, finance, and industry has reached levels that are unhealthy for both society and even for those who hold the power. When profit and control become too concentrated in the hands of a few entities, it creates a cancerous dynamic that threatens the stability of the entire system. History shows us warnings about the military industrial complex and other concentrated power structures, and now we are seeing similar patterns emerge in the tech industry. The solution requires building technology from the ground up that empowers individuals and communities, focusing on basics like food production, energy generation, and local manufacturing rather than increasing dependence on centralized systems.6. The provenance and quality of information is becoming a critical challenge as AI systems become more sophisticated and reality itself becomes harder to verify. We are rapidly approaching a point where video calls and digital interactions will be indistinguishable from AI generated fakes, which is why figures like Sam Altman have invested in systems like Worldcoin to verify human identity. However, this verification capability should not be centralized in the hands of single companies. End to end encryption and quantum encryption technologies need to be preserved and expanded to allow humans to communicate and verify information peer to peer without centralized intermediaries who could manipulate or control the flow of information.7. The future of human computer interaction is evolving toward sentient loop systems where machines have sensory input, real time learning, context understanding, and continuous operation in service of human needs. Self driving cars represent the first widespread consumer facing example of this architecture, with onboard computers that must function independently while occasionally connecting to networks. The critical question is whether these systems will be aligned to benefit their human users like a caring mother as AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton suggests, or whether they will be controlled by centralized powers. The technologists building these systems have a responsibility to be benevolent and build structures that serve humanity rather than concentrate power, helping to create a future more like Star Trek than Terminator.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 264 of Nerdery & Murdery is live.On the Nerdery side, Zig travels back to the early days of television to explore the classic 1950s anthology series Science Fiction Theatre. Long before The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits became household names, Science Fiction Theatre was bringing science-based speculative storytelling to television audiences, blending real-world scientific concepts with imaginative "what if?" scenarios and introducing viewers to the possibilities of the future.On the Murdery side, our A–Z Across America series continues with Maryland and one of the strangest cases we've covered so far: Hadden Clark.The murders of six-year-old Michelle Dorr and twenty-three-year-old Laura Houghteling would eventually be linked to a man whose confessions blurred the line between truth and fantasy. Even after his convictions, investigators continued asking the same question: how many of his claims were real, and how many were attempts to create his own mythology?A pioneering vision of tomorrow on one side.A killer surrounded by uncertainty on the other.Just another week of the Nerd and the Murd.Support the show
