The Skiffy and Fanty Show #11 is Live!

SF/F Commentary

Reading Time

And yet another episode of our still-developing podcast is up for your enjoyment: episode eleven. This week we talk about a lot of movies, particularly Christopher Nolan’s Inception, the new Del Toro/Lovecraft vehicle, our favorite science fiction movies, Battlestar Galactica, and much more!

We’d love to hear from you if you’re a listener. Pop us an email with your hateful messages or criticisms or general love for the show (or an answer to our weekly question). And, as always, if you have a second to blog about us or help spread the word, that would be all kinds of awesome.

Thanks for tuning in and see you next week with episode twelve.

That's because you're expecting something interesting to occur in episode 12, which I assure you will not 😛

Book Review: Start Finishing by Charlie Gilkey (2022)

May 20, 2025 No Comments

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)

January 22, 2025 No Comments

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

January 18, 2025 No Comments

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:
