New Poll: Help us pick a title for our podcast!

Reading Time

We need your help. Weirdside and I are making a podcast and we’ve managed to narrow it down to five titles. Each has its own charm and we’d like to get a little help from the interwebs on our final selection.

So, on the left sidebar you’ll see a poll with five titles. Select the one you like the best (and leave a comment, if you so choose). First, some information about the podcast, to aid you in your voting:

  • The podcast will focus on science fiction and fantasy literature, with some discussion of film, controversial topics within or relevant to the SF/F community, debates, and maybe some discussion of writing. There will also be some comedy tossed in for good measure. We want the podcast to be part talk show and part humor bin. Whether we succeed is another question.
  • Each podcast will be about 30 minutes long. The object is to have fun for 30 minutes…for us and for listeners.

It might also help to know what some of the titles refer to (podcast is assumed to be in the title):

  • Stinkbeatles (this is the name of our little critique group)
  • Sciffy and Fanty (the nicknames of science fiction and fantasy)
  • Spellbots
  • Undersea Ninja Factory (because we’re insane)
  • Subgeneric

So, help us choose!

Book Review: Start Finishing by Charlie Gilkey (2022)

Sometime near the end of the Spring semester, I decided it was time to take another crack and reorganizing my life. I’ve gone through years of on again / off again burnout, some of it my own fault (I’m disorganized and try to do too much) and some of it a consequence of things about which I have no control (my former university essentially bankrupted itself, forcing me to find a new job in my field, and I’ve since moved twice — the short version). All that burnout and overfilled plate-ism has made it harder to keep up with grading and find the energy to complete tasks on time. So it seemed only logical to use my university library privileges to borrow a variety of recommend productivity and project management books to see what advice, systems, etc. are out there.

A Reading List of Dystopian Fiction and Relevant Texts (Apropos of Nothing in Particular)

Why would someone make a list of important and interesting works of dystopian fiction? Or a suggested reading list of works that are relevant to those dystopian works? There is absolutely no reason other than raw interest. There’s nothing going on to compel this. There is nothing in particular one making such a list would hope you’d learn. The lists below are not an exhaustive list. There are bound to be texts I have forgotten or texts you think folks should read that are not listed. Feel free to make your own list and tell me about it OR leave a comment. I’ll add things I’ve missed! Anywhoodles. Here goes:

Duke’s Best EDM Tracks of 2024

And so it came to pass that I finished up my annual Best of EDM [Insert Year Here] lists. I used to do these on Spotify before switching to Tidal, and I continued doing them on Tidal because I listen to an absurd amount of EDM and like keeping track of the tunes I love the most. Below, you will find a Tidal playlist that should be public. You can listen to the first 50 tracks right here, but the full playlist is available on Tidal proper (which has a free version just like Spotify does). For whatever reason, the embedded playlist breaks the page, and so I’ve opted to link to it here and at the bottom of this post. Embeds are weird. Or you can pull songs into your preferred listening app. It’s up to you. Some caveats before we begin:
