Binge brownies with William F. Wu as we discuss how the two of us almost ended up at the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Workshop together (and why we didn't), the reason he wasn't terrified when he got the chance to play in Issac Asimov's robot universe, how an assignment from Harlan Ellison gave birth to one of his more famous short stories (which was later adapted as an episode of The Twilight Zone, what he found easy about writing in George R. R. Martin's Wild Cards universe, how you might never have read his science fiction if crime editors had been kinder to him, what Kate Wilhelm told him which helped fix a story problem, why Marvel's Master of Kung Fu comic books attracted him (and how he'd have written the book if given the chance), how he manages to collaborate with other writers without killing them, and much more.

In this episode we discuss the second half of Card Sharks (Wild Cards Book 13). Show NotesAs we mention in the episode, "Cursum Perficio" (1993) was indeed Kevin Andrew Murphy's first contribution to a Wild Cards novel, although he contributed to the GURPS Wild Cards roleplaying game supplement "Aces Abroad" in 1991. The fictional book within Philip K Dick's novel "The Man In The High Castle" is called The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, not The Grasshopper Lies Quietly as Ben says in this episode.   General NotesThe authors that contributed to this book are: Roger Zelazny William F. Wu Kevin Andrew Murphy Laura J. Mixon Victor Milán Stephen Leigh Michael Cassutt George R.R. Martin (editor) Melinda M. Snodgrass (assistant editor/writer) Our fantastic theme tune is Ace Of Spades (8 Bit Remix Cover Version) by the great folks at 8 Bit Universe. Follow them on YouTube and Twitter.

In this episode we discuss the first half of Card Sharks (Wild Cards Book 13). Show Notes Here's that water supply article Ben was talking about, and the episode of Planet Money about the same subject that Angel mentioned. Never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's? Here's what they thought was appropriate makeup for Mickey Rooney. As promised, here's a Wikipedia link to Chinatown: Chinatown (1974 film) Like animals? You'll love this heartwarming zoo-based documentary. . . . just don't write any YA about it. Here's that Trouble With Centaurs cartoon, though if you heard the episode, the joke is spoiled, sorry. You can buy that cyberpunk poetry novella, Event Horizon by Zac Paup, right here. Finally, Ben has asked me to issue a formal apology on his part to the people of Spain. He says: “The power I had over the Spanish is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I have spent my long and lucky podcasting career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen. Thank you for reading.”   General Notes The authors that contributed to this book are: Roger Zelazny William F. Wu Kevin Andrew Murphy Laura J.

Wikipedia has more about Project 100,000. The book Ben discusses is called McNamara's Folly. How did we miss this Kansas City Star article? If you're confused about the age of consent in Arkansas, don't worry--Fox News is desperately trying to figure it out for you. More about Matt Ruff's Set This House In Order More about the blind samurai, and Dans Le Noir? (the question mark is part of the name) Pia Zadora’s ignominy  Ben's panspermia guy And finally, here are the one-eyed jacks and the king with the axe.

You decide.  Donald Trump was a Republican supporter in the 80s, although he later became a registered Democrat before returning to the Republicans. Here is a video of an interview with him at the 1988 Republican Convention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usb0iE5WiZI
