Podcasts about spaceborn few

As you read these words and listen to our podcast, we're all riding on a ball about 8000 miles (13,000 km) across. Our rotating disco ball in space is dancing around the sun at about 67,000 mph (107,000 km/h). Our sun is about 93 million miles (150 million km away), shooting us with subatomic particles. Probably not maliciously, but who knows? The sun might be a trickster. It's also filling our solar system with light so we can see all the other planets, comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, and moons in orbit. As humans, it's nearly impossible to not put ourselves at the center of the world — we all have main-character energy. For millions of years, we puny humans have looked up at the sky and tried to understand just what the devil is going on and where we belong in the whole situation. In this episode, we try to unpack many of the mind-blowing facts we know about space and our expanding universe — and we get real about the emotional impact of embracing our stardust origins. We talk about the condition called the Overview Effect and whether or not space smells funny. Then we recommend great books that took us there on the page: Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowell The Mars House by Natasha Pulley The Milky Way by Moiya McTier Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertolino For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

This is the 5th installment of Strange New Work, a special series that explores how speculative fiction can help us imagine radically different work futures.Think the future of housework looks like Rosey the Robot from The Jetsons? Or maybe just a fleet of Roombas keeping every inch of a house free of dust or dirt? Think again. Housework is ready for a much, much bigger disruption. Of course, housework is rarely portrayed in pop culture space cowboy science fiction. And when it is, it's all about the high-tech solutions to trivial issues like making dinner or scrubbing dishes. But many quieter (and more constructive) speculative stories do consider how housework might evolve in a completely different direction.How we restructure housework—domestic and reproductive labor—is key to rethinking how we approach the future of all kinds of work. How we live impacts how we work. And how we work impacts how we live. And this episode is going there.Footnotes: Frances Gabe's Self-Cleaning House After Work by Helen Hester and Nick Srincek A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Embassytown by China Miéville Too Like The Lightning by Ada Palmer "What Communes and Other Radical Experiments in Living Together Reveal" on The Ezra Klein Show Everyday Utopia by Kristen Ghodsee The Perennials by Mauro Guillén "The demographics of multigenerational households" via Pew Research Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk and Robot) by Becky Chambers A Spectre, Haunting by China Miéville Can't Even by Anne Helen Petersen Love What Works?

Recorded June 5, 2022 This week, Nate and Ryan talk about how they consume media and the efforts they take to not mindlessly munch media. Ryan details what it means to work together and collaborate as instructed by a magical talking book from the game, It Takes Two.

Original broadcast date May 16, 2019. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2019/05/binary-system-podcast-177-spider-man-homecoming/ The Binary System crew has finally caught up with all the Marvel movies! We...no, not Endgame, we watched that weeks ago. No, we finally watched Spider-Man: Homecoming! TWO YEARS after it came out. Honestly, we don't have an excuse, some kind of Toby Maguire burnout? Anyway, it's a better-late-than-never episode, as we geek out over Tom Holland, the Vulture suit, MJ, and Ned "The Guy In The Chair" Leeds. After that we go over the My Dad Wrote a Porno HBO special, Altered Carbon, the Hugo-nominated Record of a Spaceborn Few, and a possible short story involving diamonds, dirt, and zombies. This week's outro music is a clip from the Spider-Man Homecoming theme by Benjamin Squires, hear the full song on his youtube feed. https://youtu.be/c2rgrqEFVKc

Recorded April 3, 2021 Nate and Ryan decide to reflect on some of the things happening in their own lives at this point in the year. Nate went to Fuji-Q for Spring Break with his family, where Ryan was able to get one of his videos posted to his 2-bit Storyteller YouTube channel, while he has also had some difficultly getting a ticket back to America for the Summer. After that, they decided to talk about some large world-shaping events and where they were on both September 11th 2001 and March 11th 2011. Then after the quite satisfactory snack time, they decide to talk about immigration, strength of characters, life-changing events and communism in space through Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers.

Science fiction has not always been compatible with religion -- in fact many futuristic settings imagine no religion at all. But sci-fi and fantasy have long fascinated people of different faiths because the genres wrestle with the big questions of life. I recently moderated a discussion between Minister Oscar Sinclair, Rabbi Rachel Barenblat and Alwaez Hussein Rashid about why SF worlds intrigue and inspire them.

Amanda and Jenn discuss mystery audiobooks, sea otters, fun sci-fi, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Suicide Club by Rachel Heng and Chica Chocolate.   Questions   1. Hello there! I’m going on a road trip with my husband and in-laws in August and would love to listen to a family-friendly mystery audiobook. Murder is ok as long as it’s not too gruesome and please no sex! I love your show so much and look forward to listening every week! Thanks so much for your time, --Lacey   2. Dear Jenn and Amanda, I am going to Kyuquot British Columbia for a kayaking trip in August and would love any reading recommendations for books about this area or sea otters. I am currently reading Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot and have read The Forest Lover by Susan Vreeland. I work from home and your podcast is my treat for when I can take it a little bit easier at work. Thanks, --Erin   3. Hi, I’d love book recommendations for if you loved the guardians of the galaxy movies. Fun sci-fi with great characters. I’ve already enjoyed Long way to a small angry planet. Also sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks :) --Teghan AND One of my favorite books in recent years is "The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet" and its sequel. I love the colorful characters, the themes of found family and searching for your place in the world, and the general feeling that everybody is just kinder and more open-minded in the future. Most of all I just find the mellow slice-of-life tone really relaxing to read after a long stressful day. Although I loved the rich sci-fi worldbuilding in this series, I'm open to reading books with a similar tone in other settings and genres. --Tracey   4. I have recently gotten very interested in the ideas behind and process of translating. It started with the release of Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey and the surrounding media buzz. Follow that up with a conversation about ASL interpreting, some Jhumpa Lahiri, and an internet rabbit hole about Harry Potter books in translation, and I want to deep dive into something about a literary translator, whether it be fiction, memoir, non-fiction, whatever. I’m finding it difficult to look up suggestions on the internet because the results tend to either be the works in translation themselves or how-to type guides, which just isn’t quite what I’m looking for. Thank you! --Carol   5. Hi ladies: I'm looking for angry women book recommendations. I want to read a book that centers a woman speaking on the things that make them angry. Fiction/non-fiction will do. Bonus points for books in translation. Thanks in advance, an angry woman   6. Hey Y'all, I'm a college student studying English and therefore spend a large amount of time reading intense literary books, which don't get me wrong, is the light of my soul. However, now that summer is here some of my favorite recreational books to read are ones that include a complicated villain romance. I know it's completely cliche, but it never fails to hit the spot when I'm looking for something light. Two of my favorites are Warner from the Shatter Me series and Rhys from A Court of Thorns and Roses. I'm completely fine with anything YA, but would be interested if there's this type of relationship dynamic in adult fiction and a queer twist on the relationship would be much appreciated if you could think of anything. Best, --Sunnie   7. Hello! I realized recently I deeply enjoy books and media about groups of people who support and have a deep and unconditional love for each other, especially in abnormal circumstances. Some examples of this I particularly loved are the Harry Potter books and A Little Life, and the shows Sense8 and Orphan Black. I prefer literary fiction, science fiction, and contemporary YA, and I also prefer if there are queer people in a book. What are some other books with tight, loving groups and found families? Thank you! --Ellie   Books Discussed Dread Nation by Justina Ireland The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett Death Below Stairs by Jennifer Ashley The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra by Vaseem Khan Haunting of Vancouver Island by Shanon Sinn Return of the Sea Otter by Todd McLeish Space Opera by Catherynne M.
