I’d just like to give a shout out to one of my favorite podcasts, StarShipSofa. The hosts are two British guys, Tony Smith and Ciaran O’Carroll, and every week they get together to sit on a sofa and discuss a different science fiction author. The show can be a bit rough around the edges — the digressions are sometimes extreme, and the hosts tend to mispronounce authors’ names (Zelazny = “zelaney,” Kuttner = “nutter,” etc.) — but that’s all part of the charm. What I really like about the show is that the hosts are obviously having such a good time doing it. One of the downsides to being a professional writer is that you get exposed to a lot more jadedness and politicking, and I’ve come to really appreciate the weekly dose of pure passion and enthusiasm about books and authors that I get from this podcast. |
