The Skiffy and Fanty Show #4.0b is Live! (Religion in SF and Why Fantasy is More Popular)
The second half of our special episode is up and waiting for your approval. Jason Sanford, John Ottinger, and Adam join us to discuss the lovely topics in the title above. Here’s the episode. We hope you enjoy it!
The Skiffy and Fanty Show #4.0a is Live! (Schizophrenic Computers and Other Weird Crap)
The new episode is live. A very special episode it is, too. Jason Sanford, John Ottinger, and Adam Callaway join us on the show to talk about bad movies, some really weird science news, and other fun things (like film adaptations, Inception, and some bad jokes about Megan Fox…). Here’s the episode if you’d like to listen. We’d appreciate your input on anything we discussed. Leave a comment over on the SandF blog if you have any thoughts! The second episode will go live no later than Monday and will contain a discussion about religion in SF/F and why we think fantasy literature fairs better than science fiction. Anywho!
The Skiffy and Fanty Show #3.9 is Live! (Torture Cinema Meets Batman & Robin)
I’m going to steal the introduction to the episode in question to explain what this is all about, because it’s full of hatred and love: We’re back and pissed off. Why? Because our listeners chose Batman and Robin in our Torture Cinema poll and forced us to watch it. Thanks a lot, jerks! The good news is I’ve “hidden” Arnold Schwarzenegger in the episode, which should bring you all some joy while we die of asphyxiation. The other good news is that next week is all about our special edition episode of the show! It won’t be live, unfortunately. Technology seems to hate us. But it will be filled with our friends: Jason Sanford, John Ottinger, Adam, and your lovely host regulars! There you have it. We’ll have a new Torture Cinema poll later in the week, and we’ll probably still hate our listeners after that too (jokingly, of course). If you’d like to check out the episode, you can stream it or download it here.
The Skiffy and Fanty Show #3.8 is live! (NebulaFail 2010)
Adam returns for one of our most controversial episodes of the year: our take on the recently announced Nebula Awards. It’s full of ranting goodness, love for our favorites, and plenty of testosterone-filled nonsense. If you want to hear our take (an extended take, really), stream or download the episode.
The Skiffy and Fanty Show #3.7 is Live! (Interview w/ Alex Bledsoe)
The title says it all. Alex Bledsoe, author of Dark Jenny (an Eddie LaCrosse novel), joins us on the show to talk about his books, the fantasy genre, and much more. Thomas Pynchon fans be warned: a few playful jokes are had at the postmodern bard’s expense. If you’d like to check out the episode, you can stream or download it. You can also check out my review of Dark Jenny here.
The Skiffy and Fanty Show #3.6 is Live! (Science Fiction: Entertainment or Pretentious Art?)
Adam returns for an unexpected discussion about whether science fiction writers and readers go to the form for its entertainment value. Think of it as an unofficial and disorganized pretentious literary elite primer. We also tackle that wicked “speculative fiction” term and talk about what we’re reading and writing. Needles to say, GRRM makes yet another appearance in our mouths. Feel free to check out the episode!
