We kicked off the episode with a bit of weather banter, lamenting the lingering cold despite the arrival of spring. This lighthearted opening tied directly into our episode's focus on "tricks" as we wrapped up our literary podcast April's “Tricksters” theme. We reflected on the heavier topics from previous episodes, like the intense themes in Shutter Island, and decided to end the month on a lighter, playful note with a game.As always, we reminded listeners about the related content available on our website, Fully-Booked.ca, including recent articles like the intriguing investigation into how a book with only 444 ratings managed to top Amazon's bestseller list.Explaining the Game: “Trick Each Other Into Reading It”To close out the theme of tricks and foolery, we introduced a game where we each selected a handful of books. The goal was to describe these books vaguely enough to spark interest without revealing the title. The twist? If one of us successfully "enticed "tricked" the other into saying they'd read the book, that person would have to actually read it before the end of the year.The rules were:Describe the book's plot enticingly but vaguely.The other host guesses if they'd want to read it.Only after their decision is the book's identity revealed.If one of us is “tricked,” we're committing to reading the book.Play along with us and try to guess on your own! To reveal the book name, click on the arrow beside "Book reveal".The Game: Guess the Book and Decide to ReadRound 1Arthur: MeaghanDescribes: A brutal coming-of-age story set in a savage wasteland. Lone warrior fights terrifying beasts and deadly enemies to claim leadership. Gladiator vibes, betrayal, survival against the odds.Meaghan's Guess/Reaction: Doesn't sound appealing due to gladiator associations. Declines to read.Book revealRhino: The Rise of a Warrior by Nicholas Sansbury Smith.Round 2Host: MeaghanDescribes: A doctor and a circus performer (who jumps through flaming hoops) team up. Mischievous raccoon sidekick. Somebody loses an eye.Arthur's Guess/Reaction: Curious about the adventure; likes the misfit vibe. Says yes to reading.Book revealSyphon Sparrow by Brynn Weaver (third in the Ruinous Love trilogy). Dark romance twist - Arthur is now on the hook for reading the whole series.Round 3Host: ArthurDescribes: Locked-room murder mystery at a strange outpost where the suspects aren't human. Amateur sleuth repeatedly finds themselves surrounded by death. Witty, quirky, Miss Marple in space energy.Meaghan's Guess/Reaction: Sounds fun, suspects it's Station Eternity - and guesses correctly.Book revealStation Eternity by Mur Lafferty.Round 4Host: MeaghanDescribes: Narrated by a child. "The house isn't haunted—the family is." Closets are unsafe spaces. Nonlinear storytelling reflecting a child's mind.Arthur's Guess/Reaction: Interested; thinks it's a book they've talked about but guesses incorrectly.Book revealIncidents Around the House by Josh Malerman. Horror novel from the author of Bird Box.Round 5Host: ArthurDescribes: An Orphan child taken to a fortress where others are trained in secret knowledge. Creatures, riddles, betrayal, and danger beneath the surface.Meaghan's Guess/Reaction: Might be interested, but unsure what the book is.Book revealIt's Harry Potter. Trick round—no reread required!Round 6Host: MeaghanDescribes: Inspired by Lizzie Borden, set in a Maine mansion where a decades-old murder took place. Current-day caretaker tries to solve the mystery with a mute woman as the key witness.Arthur's Guess/Reaction: Sounds intriguing; hesitant but interested.Book revealThe Only One Left by Riley SagerRound 7Host: ArthurDescribes: Haunted luxury cruiser, salvage crew finds dead passengers who aren't at rest. Ghosts, creepy visions, something watching from the shadows.Meaghan's Guess/Reaction: Initially confused it with Six Wakes or Paradise One, but is interested.Book revealDead Silence by S.A. Barnes.Round 8Host: MeaghanDescribes: Siblings return to childhood home after parents' death, tensions rise. The trauma isn't what you expect—it's the house. Features the creepiest puppet ever.Arthur's Guess/Reaction: Intrigued, especially by the horror elements. Says yes.Book revealHow to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix.Round 9Host: ArthurDescribes: A Deadly puzzle in an ancient fortress. Necromancers, sword fighters, skeletons, betrayal. Gothic horror meets dark fantasy.Meaghan's Guess/Reaction: Sounds compelling; admits he might read it.Book revealGideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir.Round 10Host: MeaghanDescribes: Surprise murder at a B&B run by a family of witches, each with distinct powers. Cozy mystery that also tackles grief, loss, and healing.Arthur's Guess/Reaction: Hesitant but interested.Book revealIn the Company of Witches by Arleigh Wallace.Closing Thoughts and Episode Wrap-UpWe concluded the game, reflecting on how successful each of us had been at tricking the other. The result was a tie, with each of us winding up with about two or three books we're now committed to reading. Arthur, in particular, will be tackling Butcher and Blackbird - a fact Meaghan was especially excited about.Finally, we previewed what's coming next month: a more flexible, experimental approach to May's episodes. We encouraged listeners to explore the podcast backlog and check out all the additional content on our site.

What will well-dressed astronauts be wearing on the Artemis III mission? Will AI destroy creativity? Can we actually make leather clothing out of mushrooms? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome engineer and futurist Alexia Stylianou, who is designing wearable biometric platforms that can measure human biomechanics to a resolution and degree far beyond what's accessible to everyday people. Before we get to introducing our guest this episode, though, Charles whets our appetite about amazing developments coming out of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory where he's on the Science Advisory Committee. Our joyfully cool cosmic thing of the day is Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 1 to the Moon. As Allen points out, it's part of NASA's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and is the most successful private Lunar landing to date – among other things, it landed right-side up! Alexa talks about the importance of giving engineers the freedom to solve problems and the uncertainty of programs like this continuing to be funded by NASA. Allen brings up the Viper, a NASA-funded lunar rover which was built, but lost its funding before testing was completed. Charles asks Alexia to tell us about an example of something on the horizon she thinks is really cool, and she mentions that Prada is designing the space suits for the Artemis III mission in partnership with Axiom Space. She explains that Prada has a history of using cutting edge materials and design that makes them an appropriate partner in the process. Then it's time for our first audience question. Luis asks, “What is needed to create the next amazing space technology that will break all the conventions we have about space travel?” Alexia talks about the increasing importance of incorporating user-centered design or human-centered design, and how it's revolutionizing the process. You'll hear about the development of direct pressure space suits, as well as research into exoskeletons for use in industry and auto manufacturing – although sadly, Alien-style exoskeleton loaders like Ripley uses are still science fiction, for now. Looking even further out, Alexia talks about nuclear semiotics – the effort to come up with ways to communicate to societies that will exist hundreds of thousands of years in the future the danger of radioactive material we're creating now? You'll find out why the skulls and crossbones and other danger iconography we use now aren't up to the task, and the universality of stick-figure iconography. Our next question comes from Johanna: “Will AI destroy creativity?” Questions like this are becoming more frequent, especially in areas like education. Chuck, Alexia and Allen jump into a thought-provoking conversation, and how there are ways to let students use AI as a tool like a calculator while simultaneously incentivizing and stimulating their creativity. Speaking of creativity, Chuck asks Alexia about her love of science fiction and the well-designed stack of books behind her (sorry, Podcast People!). She pulls out and describes “Gideon the Ninth,” the first book in a sci-fi fantasy series about immortal space necromancers by Tamsyn Muir. Alexia talks about speculative fiction and speculative design, and tells us about a team of designers that have created a room that smells like the pollution of the future in order to offer a tangible way to engage our senses now about a future we might yet be able to avoid. Finally, Chuck asks Alexia for one more cool futuristic development she's wants us all to think about. She tells us about the development of mushroom leather (aka mycelium leather), an alternative, eco-friendly, and ethical textile made from fungi grown on apple waste. If you'd like to know more about Alexia, you can find her on LinkedIn. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

New Year, New Co-Host, and Sci-Fi Blends To Kick Off 2025

Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast

In this episode of the Fully-Booked podcast, the hosts, Meaghan and Arthur, delve into a new chapter of the podcast. The audience is informed about Shirin's temporary departure due to her pregnancy as Shirin steps away to focus on her growing family, Arthur, co-producer of the Fully-Booked podcast, steps in to co-host alongside Meaghan. This change, while temporary, marks a significant shift in the dynamic of the show. Arthur’s background in coding and his technical contributions to the website bring a fresh perspective to the podcast. The hosts humorously discuss his 60% familiarity with the topics they’ll cover and joke about potential jousting matches for hosting rights when Shirin returns. Despite the change, the team is optimistic about the new direction and is ready to embrace 2025 with fresh content and themes. Kicking Off 2025: A Sci-Fi Focus As the podcast launches into the new year, Meaghan and Arthur introduce a month-long exploration of science fiction. This is a notable shift, as Meaghan admits that she and Shirin have historically read very little of the genre. However, Arthur’s passion for sci-fi provides the perfect opportunity to delve into its rich and diverse discussions. The hosts acknowledge the challenges they faced in planning sci-fi content in the past. With Arthur’s enthusiasm, planning the month’s content was surprisingly straightforward. The podcast promises to cover various aspects of sci-fi, including genre mashups, successful and unsuccessful adaptations, and newer releases. This thematic focus aims to appeal to long-time sci-fi enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Sci-Fi Genre Mashups: Exploring New Horizons One of the main themes of the episode is the exploration of sci-fi genre mashups. Meaghan and Arthur discuss how sci-fi often blends seamlessly with other genres, creating unique storytelling opportunities. They highlight several examples: Sci-Fi and Mystery: The Midsolar Murders series by Mur Lafferty combines amateur sleuthing with extraterrestrial settings. Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter and Wayward Pines series mix speculative fiction with gripping mysteries. Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain explores a medical mystery linked to a satellite crash, blending suspense with scientific intrigue. Sci-Fi and Horror: The hosts delve into the subgenre of sci-fi horror, highlighting works like Caitlin Starling’s The Luminous Dead and David Wellington’s Red Space series (Paradise-1, Revenant X). They also discuss the historical roots of the genre, referencing classics like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend. Sci-Fi and Fantasy: Works like Christopher Paolini’s To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series exemplify the blend of futuristic technology and fantastical elements. Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth series introduces necromancy into a science fiction setting, creating a unique narrative style. Sci-Fi and Historical Fiction: Stephen King’s 11/22/63 combines time travel with the historical backdrop of the Kennedy assassination. Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle explores an alternate history where the Axis powers won World War II. Sci-Fi and Romance: Meaghan and Arthur touch on the lighter side of sci-fi with titles like Alyssa Cole’s The AI Who Loved Me, which combines AI with human connections, and Ruby Dixon’s monster romance series. Sci-Fi in Other Media: Adaptations and Recommendations The hosts transition into discussing sci-fi in other media, particularly film and television. They reference the ongoing Silo series and compare its dystopian elements to works like Blake Crouch’s Wayward Pines. Meaghan shares her thoughts on the Alien film franchise, admitting she’s new to many of its sequels. The pair humorously critique the series’ ups and downs, including the divisive Prometheus prequels. The episode also touches on notable sci-fi adaptations and their impact: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch was recently adapted into a TV series. Man in the High Castle adapted for Amazon Prime. The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield blends Cold War intrigue with space exploration. The hosts express excitement about revisiting sci-fi classics and exploring lesser-known gems. They encourage listeners to explore Fully Booked’s website for related articles and reviews from contributors. Looking Ahead with Enthusiasm As the episode concludes, Meaghan and Arthur emphasize the importance of embracing new experiences. They acknowledge that while the month of sci-fi exploration is a departure from their usual fare, it presents an opportunity for growth and discovery. The duo encourages listeners to join them on this journey, whether through reading, watching, or engaging with the content on their website and social media platforms. The hosts’ banter, combined with their genuine curiosity and enthusiasm, sets the tone for an exciting year ahead. With a mix of humor, insight, and personal anecdotes, the episode invites listeners to explore the vast possibilities of sci-fi and its many intersections with other genres.

We touch upon some works that figure in Emily's approach to science fiction and fantasy, including Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and a children's SF novel from the '90s that she wishes someone would remember the title of (if you know it, let us know in the coments!), her own background in classics and how Some Desperate Glory reflects the military culture of ancient Sparta, the influence of gaming on her work, and what it's like to be in conversation with the new space opera tradition of Ann Leckie, Arkady Martine, Tamsyn Muir, and others. And, a few insights into her forthcoming novel, due out next year. As always, our thanks to Emily for joining us. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Quirk's portrayal of Nona is utterly captivating. She woke up six months ago in a body that seems to belong to someone else, but is enthusiastic and delighted by almost everything she encounters. Quirk must use her skills as a narrator to suggest interpretations of events (many fairly disastrous) outside of Nona's understanding, and her compelling and moving performance will please fans of the series.
