TFTB Extra : Fantasy Special (AKA: The Swords and Dragons episode)

Wednesday, April 6, 2022 • Duration 43:59

The week it's the Fantasy special you were secretly hoping for. We talk about our favorite fantasy novels and series. We explore sub-genres and the strong ties that Fantasy has to Sci-fi. In Sci-fi, the "fast than light drive" has a major impact on the story, and so too does the type of magic used in a Fantasy novel. So rest assured - we'll be talking wizards.

TFTB Book Club: Semiosis by Sue Burke

Thursday, March 24, 2022 • Duration 37:55

In this episode, we review Semiosis by Sue Burke. Sue has written a fascinating duology that features a sentient plant on a far-flung planet who must contend with human colonists. On Science Fiction - Science Fact we wonder about the ISS falling from the sky. On Trivia, we find another reason to say 'Lagrange point' (it's fun, admit it), and a 2000-year-old laptop lands one of our hosts a prize from your childhood.
