Podcasts about Terry Bisson

In celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of Tachyon Publications, we invited publisher Jacob Weisman to join us in a fascinating exploration of the independent publisher whose list of authors includes classic tales from Stanley Weinbaum, A.E. Van Vogt, and even Mary Shelley, as well as major work from contemporary writers like Peter S. Beagle, Patricia McKillip, Michael Swanwick, Terry Bisson, Jane Yolen, Ellen Klages, Eileen Gunn, Joe Lansdale, Nalo Hopkinson, James Morrow, Lavie Tidhar, and Daniel Pinkwater, and newer writers such as Mary Thompson, Austin Habersahw, Martin Cahill, and Josh Rountree.  We touch upon the challenges of building an independent press in a rapidly changing marketplace, the importance of anthologies in identifying and preserving trends in the field, and what to expect next from Tachyon.

Plus, a preview of our new Motion Picture Possum Passel with Katie Hanzalik, Spring 2024 Midmountaineer, new board member and the writer of This Week in the South for Scalawag Magazine.

In season one of Our Connected Culture we explore how late science fiction author Terry Bisson's lifelong activism was central to how he imagined a better world in his 1988 novel Fire on the Mountain, using previously unreleased and archival audio of Bisson and as well as interviews with friends and comrades including Peter Coyote, Kim Stanley Robinson, Annalee Newitz, Paul Park, Mary Corey, John Kessel, Cory Doctorow, Jacob Weisman, Rina Weisman, and Karen Brenchley.The episode features commentary from Kim Stanley Robinson, Annalee Newitz, Paul Park, John Kessel, Jacob Weisman, Rena Weisman, Karen Brenchley, Cory Doctorow, and Ramsey Kanaan talking about the role Terry played in creating progressive science fiction community. This is also the final book club episode for Fire on the Mountain, covering through the end of this an alternative history centering around a socialist utopia emerging in the U.S. South a hundred years after the success of the Harpers Ferry raid led by John Brown sets off a self-emancipating revolution.We're going to talk about Terry for two more weeks here at Our Connected Culture before closing up this season: Next week, we'll be sharing audio of Terry narrating The Left Left Behind, Terry's own contribution to the PM Press Outspoken Authors series he edited, that was shared with us by the publisher. (Thank you again to Ramsey and everyone else over there.) Then at the end of the month will have one last episode of this season to go deeper on Tomorrowing, the collection of Locus columns we talked about briefly today and during our first episode. We're also going to keep our virtual book club going, so you can join us to talk about Tomorrowing in our Discord for a live discussion at 1pm eastern time on May 26th! Tomorrowing was released by Duke University Press and they have also graciously shared a discount code with us for this book club: use E24BSSON to save 30% off the book in their official store. Link to the Discord and more information about our release schedule at midmountain.org/ourconnectedcultureWe've also created a curated list of related works at bookshop.org/shop/MidMtn, (MidMountain is an affiliate of Bookshop.org and will get a small commission to support our work if you purchase from our links)MidMountain is a cooperative production of MidMountain, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, arts collective, and project in constant growth that believes in the power of people to reclaim space and caring for your neighbors — no matter how far away they are.

We cover up through page 119 of the 2009 PM Press edition of the book and go deep into the revolutionary philosophies that inspired Fire on the Mountain, the work Terry did as part of the above ground radical movement by editing the Committee's newsletter “Death to the Klan,” and his stint in prison to defiance of a Grand Jury subpoena targeting underground activists connected to militant work with the May 19th Communist Movement.We'll also talk about the importance of imagining better futures and building inclusive communities through a virtual book club of Fire on the Mountain, an alternative history centering around a communist utopia emerging in the U.S. South a hundred years after the success of the Harpers Ferry raid led by John Brown sets off a self-emancipating revolution.

And just liked that, our end of year hiatus is over and the Coode Street Podcast is back! Gary and Jonathan return from their annual break and kick off a brand new year with discussions of recent news events in science fiction, how our thoughts about books and ideas change over time, 50th anniversaries, the delightfully happy news that Gary got married(!!!), and the sad news about the passing of several friends of the podcast, including Howard Waldrop, Terry Bisson, and Rick Bowes. As it always is at the start of a new year, it's great to be back and we're filled with optimism for the year ahead. We hope to get at least our scheduled 26 episodes out this year, to do some special episodes, and to travel to Scotland for the 2024 World Science Fiction Convention in Glasgow. For now, though, we hope you enjoy the new episode!

After teasing the nymphs in various shapes for nearly four years, Changeling's 2nd edition finally got around to giving us a supplement dedicated to the fae of nature. In this book's fullest presentation of who they are, Inanimae (and their Secret Way) are elemental dreams, the product of human imagination interacting with noteworthy hunks of rock, majestic trees, pools of water, etc. They sidestep a lot of the cultural issues and relativity of Banality that complicate the other kiths, providing another way to explore the world of Changeling. Flipping through these pages reveals much about their society, history, ecology, and magic, especially given the dearth of information that they get in C20. Read along with us as we learn who they are and what they're about... The book in question can be purchased at https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/62211?affiliate_id=3063731. (Pooka's homebrew publications, Kithbook: Ghille Dhu and The Emperor's New Coat, are also mentioned in the episode; they can be acquired at https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/381967?affiliate_id=3063731 and https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/375875?affiliate_id=3063731, respectively.) some inspirations Given how squicked the Inanimae are by the meatiness of humans (and changelings!), reading through this book gave some vibes of Terry Bisson's short story "They're Made Out of Meat." Various fun adaptations are out there, of which Stephen O'Regan's is maybe the best known? Embed below, link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6JFTmQCFHg And then, when it comes to films, books, etc., the classic sources for Changeling stories don't quite do justice to the Inanimae experience. Some possible alternatives: Treebeard and his Entish kin from Lord of the Rings, in any version, are great inspiration for wizened kubera Toy Story and Dr. Who provide examples of mannikins that range from cute to terrifying It's debatable whether the spirits of Hayao Miyazaki's films are metaphysically more like Werewolf/Mage-aligned Naturae, or Changeling-aligned Inanimae, but either way, they make good fodder for whimsical and powerful characters The systems don't exactly line up, but the elemental magic of Avatar: the Last Airbender, directly controlling the elements of its framework but expanding out into more metaphorical uses, is helpful to think about the working of Slivers If you have more to share, please consider doing so on our Discord!

Humans encounter non-human intelligences of various kinds and try to make sense of them. Prologue: Ira has some thoughts about our country's long history of alien invasion movies. (2 minutes)Act One: In this past year we've witnessed a revolution in A.I. since the public rollout of ChatGPT.  Our Senior Editor David Kestenbaum thinks that even though there's been a ton of coverage, there's one thing people haven't talked much about: have these machines gotten to the point that they're starting to have something like human intelligence? Where they actually understand language and concepts, and can reason? He talks with scientists at Microsoft who've been trying to figure that out. (30 minutes)Act Two: A short piece of fiction from the perspective of aliens who've been scouting Earth, from writer Terry Bisson. It's called “They're Made Out of Meat.” It's performed by actors Maeve Higgins and H Jon Benjamin. (5 minutes)Act Three: A species of massive, mysterious, highly intelligent beings have recently been making contact with humanity. Or our boats, anyway. Many people seem convinced they are seeking revenge for past injustices. Producer Chris Benderev wondered if that was true. (7 minutes)Act Four: Many of us, especially when we're young, feel like we're the alien, trying to understand and fit in with the humans on this planet. Producer Diane Wu spent some time recently with a teenage humanoid who feels that way. (15 minutes)Transcripts are available at thisamericanlife.org

This week Jonathan and Gary are joined by the wonderful Eileen Gunn, whose Night Shift Plus... is the latest volume in PM Press's ongoing series of “Outspoken Authors” collections, which combine fiction and nonfiction with an author interview by series editor Terry Bisson. We discuss Eileen's stories, her essays on Ursula K. Le Guin, Carol Emshwiller, and Gardner Dozois (and her essay on William Gibson's Neuromancer that she could not include in the collection), her earlier collections Stable Strategies and Questionable Practices, the early days of the online zine Infinite Matrix and what it was like in the early days of Microsoft, her wide range of connections in the SF world, and her fascinating novel in progress. As usual, there are digressions, but they're pretty interesting, too.

Becky Chambers, if not the mother of Hopepunk, is certainly its standard bearer. She has new takes on robots beyond the uncanny valley, exploring ideas and concepts like what is kindness, compassion, and even “humanity” through the eyes of the construct rather than those made of meat. Becky started as a self-published author with a Kickstarter idea, and was later picked up by traditional publishing. … Continue...Episode 125 – HopePunk with Becky Chambers

Share sushi with Philip K. Dick Award-winning writer Meg Elison as we discuss her pre-pandemic prediction for the kind of year 2020 was then shaping up to be, how reading Terry Bisson's "They're Made Out of Meat" changed her life, using tabletop RPGs to deal with the powerlessness felt during recent times, the way rereading taught her to be a writer, our dual fascination with diaries, when she realized her first novel was actually the start of a trilogy (and the songs which helped her better understand each installment), why she followed that post-apocalyptic trilogy with a contemporary YA novel, and much more.

Short story by Terry Bisson

Podcast Description “There is this global expectation that I can walk through the world and just demand things because of who I am and the color of my skin. And that is fucking wrong.”Tamara Temple is a self-described "Webologist", tech maven, and deeply interested in software as a craft. As a life-long learner, Tamara has long had an interest in teaching, coaching, and mentoring people in the arts of programming and helping people to learn how to use computers to solve problems, communicate with others, and have a lot of fun.Tamara works on both back-end development in Ruby on Rails, front-end development in ReactJS and GraphQL, and loves using static site generators such as Jekyll and Gatsby. She loves coaching and mentoring new developers, and loves answering questions of almost any sort."I am deeply committed to increasing the diversity of my chosen field by increasing the opportunities for people of colour and people with disabilities, especially. It's important for marginalized and underrepresented people to have wonderful, rewarding, and respectful learning opportunities and experiences."When not working around computers, Tamara is a mom to two grown daughters, a watercolourist, sketcher, and photographer, and sometime musician.

I was driving with my brother, the preacher, and my nephew, the preacher's son, on I-65 just north of Bowling Green when we got a flat. It was Sunday night and we had been to visit Mother at the Home. We were in my car. The flat caused what you might call knowing groans since, as the old-fashioned one in my family (so they tell me), I fix my own tires, and my brother is always telling me to get radials and quit buying old tires. | © 1990 by Terry Bisson. Originally published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.
