I'm your host Marie and  If you're joining us for the first time: Welcome! The Mastercast is a podcast recommendation show that brings you a brand new non-spoiler binge-worthy review every week of the best podcasts in a short and sweet 2-3 minute summary on everything you could want to know, from the number of hosts to on average how long you can expect each episode to be.

If you like what you hear and want to help out this independent show you can find me on Buy me a coffee by searching The Mastercast. I'd really appreciate it. This week's review is onWords to that Effect - No Spoilers! I am surprised this podcast isn't in the top charts of Apple Podcasts although it has placed #10 and #23 in the arts categories for Ireland and Britain respectively. There's no warming up to the host or topics, you only have to hear it for it to become a new favorite. Part of the Headstuff network it was started in 2017 by Conor Reid, a writer and teacher, who lives and records the show in Dublin, Ireland. Reid covers the behind-the-scenes factors of what goes into the stories we hold dear and starts each episode with a question such as how can fiction save the world and why are there so many novels with "girl" in the title? There is a bit of a concentration on works and topics from the late 19th and early 20th century but more modern works are covered. The pod has 4.9 stars and 27 ratings on Apple Podcasts. So far there are 60 episodes with Season 6 on a bit of a delay but an update has promised many more episodes to come. When the show is active, episodes come out about every two weeks. You can search them by topic on the website. They're also evergreen which means they aren't time sensitive and can be listened to in any order. In amongst the others you might find a series of bonus episodes titled “A Word To That Effect” that covers the literary origin of a word or phrase. There's also the occasional guest and cross over episode. Owltail has the most popular by listen being “The Invention of Time” and “Irish Science Fiction.” My favorites so far have been “The Endless Influence of Robinson Crusoe” and “Dinosaurs (Palaeontology to Pyjamas).” If you can't get enough of the show head its website where you can sign up for the newsletter and get news on two upcoming projects. No content warnings for this one. Similar pods: All About Agatha, Words That Burn, and FiresideAll right, guys, that's all for this week but remember if you want to see the cover art, sources or the written transcript for this episode be sure to check out the show notes.

Remix, mashup, sample, adaptation, parody, homage, knock-off. The lines between these, and so many other similar terms, are not always very clear. In one sense, all culture is a remix, nothing exists in a vacuum. On the other hand, some people may take a dim view of lifting almost the entire text of Pride & Prejudice and republishing it with additional zombie action. Which is where Seth Grahame-Smith’s best-selling 2009 classic, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, comes in.

Today, we have the final episode in my summer break guest series: ‘Golden Age Detective Fiction’ from Words To That Effect by Conor Reid. It first appeared on his feed in May 2019, and if you listen very closely you might recognise his interviewee. Find Words To That Effect at wttepodcast.com and in all good …

1n 1842 a Victorian anatomist looked at some unusual fossils and, noticing they had something in common, he decided we needed a word to describe these strange creatures. He called them dinosaurs. Cut to the present day and there are dinosaur films, TV shows, books, songs, toys, and anything else you can possibly think of. Dinosaurs are beloved by children across the world, they form the centrepieces of internationally renowned museums, and there is nobody who doesn’t have an idea of what a dinosaur looks like. How did we get here? Episode 25 of Words To That Effect draws together science and fiction, palaeontology and children’s pyjamas, Jurassic Park and Gertie the Dinosaur, to explore the cultural history of dinosaurs.

Words To That Effect is back! Episode 24 is a recording of September's live show for the Dublin Podcast Festival. This episode is a story about a long-forgotten nervous disease. But it’s also a story of science and culture, psychology and mental health, feminism and creativity, war and masculinity. It's about ghost stories, science fiction and cowboy novels... Featuring live music composed and performed by Ken McCabe.

This is an episode about who we are as humans. And, more importantly, where we are going. About a future in which technology and biology have merged in ways that are in equal part fascinating and terrifying. A future of unparalleled technological ingenuity, but one with deeply problematic ethical concerns. It’s a future that sounds like science fiction because, in some ways, it is. But it’s a world that’s being designed right now. Transhumanism is a social movement which aims to use technology to push out the boundaries of the human condition. It aims to move humanity beyond what we are today. It takes in a huge range of ideas: from the wildly speculative, like uploading our consciousness to computers, to the more low tech, like DIY tech implants and biohacking. It's a movement which tries to transcend the human condition and, ultimately, to achieve immortality. It's also a movement which has been heavily influenced by a century of science fiction writing about these ideas. In this episode, I talk to Dr Mark O’Connell, author of To Be a Machine, a fascinating new book which explores the world of transhumanism. The book, as its subtitle outlines, is about O'Connell's Adventures Among Cyborgs, Utopians, Hackers, and the Futurists Solving the Modest Problem of Death. I also chat to Dr Thomas Connolly, who helps situate the transhumanist movement in the context of a long history of science fiction writing. We talk about genetically engineered mice, scifi dystopias, Silicon Valley, immortality, human consciousness, and quite a bit in between.
