We've got 15 books and series here, so there should be something to love for almost every reader (although we need some traditional fantasy page turners – send us some recommendations in the comments please)! Plus, at the end of the episode we each rank our personal top 3. We intentionally excluded YA and military sci-fi books, although those are often also page-turners - look out for episodes about each of those soon! Brent's brother, Alex, joined us for this episode, and brought us a whole new batch of books (and frankly a couple new subgenres) to enjoy. LitRPG / progression fantasy just keep getting more popular, and we can see why – the books we've picked up have all been so, so fun to read (although it probably helps we've been reading Alex's recommendations so far, the best of the best from the hundreds of LitRPG books he's read).

The following article was brought to my attention by Thane Riddle, on his last live episode of Cloak & Dagger. I'm not quite sure what to think of it as a whole, but it is entertaining and says some interesting things about the realm of fiction. Beyond that, I would… The post Lemurian Time War: A Libertarian “Science Fiction(?)” Experience appeared first on The Vonu Podcast.

Ik ben in Elsene, op het kerkhof... Naast mij staat Otto Rosenknopf, een schuilnaam: de professor wil niet met zijn ware naam in de podcast. Hij heeft een koffer bij zich waarin hij een viool lijkt te vervoeren. Alleen: dit instrument wordt niet bespeeld door de levenden, maar door de doden. Hoewel – zo beweert Otto tenminste – zijn NECROFON geen doden opwekt. Hij is immers allesbehalve een spiritist, hij noemt zichzelf veeleer een ‘reconstructivist'. Het proces klinkt als sciencefiction, maar Otto is een man van de wetenschap, die inzichten uit de kwantumfysica heeft gecombineerd met de mogelijkheden van artificiële intelligentie.   De eerste aflevering van een serie waarin Patrick Bernauw "stemmen uit het graf" laat weerklinken, met behulp van artificiële intelligentie. Dit is het verhaal van de Franse generaal Georges Boulanger, en zijn geliefde Marguerite... en vooral ook van hun graf op het kerkhof van Elsene. Hun stemmen, de geluiden en de muziek zijn gemaakt met Suno.Marguerite: "A bientôt!" Georges: "Ai-je bien pu vivre deux mois et demi sans toi?"   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mysterieus-belgie--5917929/support.Mysterieus België is een podcast van de Vlaamse auteur Patrick Bernauw.

The Blasters & Blades PodcastWe bit off more than we could chew here, but the topic of generational ships in science fiction was too tempting to leave on the cutting room floor.

Toni Morrison's work undeniably reshaped American literature, and her influence extended well beyond her novels like Beloved or The Bluest Eye. Morrison confronted slavery, identity, trauma - as well as beauty - as she centered Black experiences. Morrison changed not only what stories were told, but how they were told.rnrnHarvard professor and award-winning author Namwali Serpell's latest book On Morrison, argues that Morrison's literary skill often gets overshadowed by her public image as a Black female writer. On Morrison takes readers through her canon of literature, and focuses on the artistry and technique, demonstrating "how to read Morrison with the seriousness that she deserves."rnrnNamwali Serpell was born in Lusaka and lives in New York. She is the author of multiple award-winning books, and her debut novel, The Old Drift, won an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Science Fiction, and the Los Angeles Times's Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction.rnrnFor an entire year, starting on Toni Morrison's birthday, the influential Nobel Prize-winning Ohioan will be the focus of literary and historic events in the Buckeye State. Join us - in partnership with Literary Cleveland - as Kourtney Morrow with the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards sits down in conversation with On Morrison author Namwali Serpell.

You may have heard we got a bit of winter weather a couple weeks ago which means our dear Stardaddy had to do some catch up at the ol' day job.

This DM-less tabletop roleplaying game uses a beautifully rendered deck of story telling prompts along with a gorgeous fabric map to guide players in constructing a tale of growing revolution set in a fantasy land of frogs, grasshoppers, ants, and other wee creatures.

On this episode we talk the Travolta and Cage masterpiece Face/Off. A pivotal movie in maximalist and bonkers cinema, John Woo's crowning achievement still remains getting the two most charismatic actors of a generation to go all out playing each other. A ballet of bullets, an influence on John Wick, and two defining performances from Travolta and Cage all have worked in its favor as an undeniable 90s classic.Other topics include Travolta and Cage's careers, Robert Duvall, Criterion collection and the state of streaming, new physical media, Mission Impossible, and revisiting Boogie Nights.Songs of the WeekWho'll Stand With Us?

Knapp 1.500 Seiten in zwei Wochen - Jan und Katharina sind wieder einmal im Lesemarathon-Modus. Gut, dass die beiden recht schnell lesen können. Aber: Kann man so etwas lernen? Und was passiert überhaupt bei uns im Kopf, wenn wir lesen? Darüber sprechen die beiden mit der Psycholinguistin Pauline Schröter. In der Bestsellerchallenge geht es um das neue Buch von Colleen Hoover, die ja für ihre expliziten Sex-Szenen bekannt ist - nicht gerade Jans Lieblingsgenre. Außerdem geht es um eine traurig-tröstliche Geschichte von der schottischen Küste, einen Krimi mit Foucault-Einsprengseln und um ein Brot, das gleich bei mehreren Nationen als Traditionsmahlzeit auftaucht.Alle Infos zum Podcast:https://ndr.de/eatreadsleepMail gern an:eatreadsleep@ndr.deAlle Lesekreise:https://ndr.de/eatreadsleep-lesekreiseUnseren Newsletter gibt es hier:https://ndr.de/eatreadsleep-newsletterPodcast-Tipps: Timothy Truckel ermittelt:https://1.ard.de/truckle-ermittelt?Die Bücher der Folge:(00:04:54) Drew Hayden Taylor: "Cold", übersetzt von Leo Strohm.

Hey horror fans!! This week writer and filmmaker Matthew Robinson joins us to talk about his new genre bending thriller Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die, a modern day Twilight Zone style story that mixes AI, tech obsession, and social chaos with sharp humor and unexpected twists. Matthew shares behind the scenes stories about writing for a stacked ensemble cast, working with actors like Haley Lu Richardson and Sam Rockwell, and what it was like seeing the script transform once a director like Gore Verbinski came on board. He also talks about his breakthrough film The Invention of Lying and how co-directing with Ricky Gervais helped launch his career.Before Matthew joins the conversation we cover the latest horror news including Mike Flanagan tackling Stephen Kings The Mist and of course finish with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week.If you love wild stories, clever twists, and hearing how movies get made, this is for you sooo... COME HANG OUT!!!

What follows forces a choice between safety and a single moment that can never be taken back. Seller of the Sky by Dave Dryfoos.

This one was the last story ever published by Dryfoos. His first made the his presence known late in 1950 and this wrapped up his science fiction career less than five years later. First published in If Worlds of Science Fiction in February 1955 on page 22, Seller of the Sky by Dave Dryfoos…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Earth's most powerful leader discovers that the counsel he trusted most may soon be gone—just as the stakes become irreversible.

My guests are documentary filmmaker Robert Stone and NASA Scientist and Science Fiction author Gentry Lee. Lee is the central subject of Stone’s new documentary “Starman” which is in theaters as of Friday, February 6. In this intergalactic biopic, we follow Gentry Lee, Chief Engineer for Planetary Exploration at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and sci-fi writer, on his journey to space and on Earth. From the Viking and Voyager missions to co-authoring the actual future with Arthur C. Clarke, Lee's life has been spent with his head in the stars and his feet on the ground. In this visually stunning documentary, the octogenarian Starman reflects on decades of space exploration alongside friends like Carl Sagan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYjTbGLgyhk&t=5s

One of the most popular genres of literature, film, and television is science fiction. Science fiction is relatively new, and by its very nature, it is always evolving and reinventing itself.  Also, unlike other genres, science fiction isn't just about storytelling. It is about generating ideas that have had an actual impact on the world we live in. Learn more about the history of science fiction and how it has impacted the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
