AntipodeanSF

G'day and Howdy, and welcome to the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Helix. Hold it right there. I don't mean that delicious and colourful planetary nebula. I'm talking galaxy here, and it's a strange one in the constellation Ursa Major. We're talking polar ring galaxy aka the Pancake, but not in the kitchen Galaxy. Helix's nucleus is surrounded by bright strands of star-forming regions and hydrogen gas, winding around the outside edge of the galaxy. In fact, the Milky way possibly could have turned out to be a polar ring galaxy, if the Magellanic clouds were just a little closer. But that's a what if. Not so much under question is that I am your host and editor, Nuke, and I'd love it if you'd stick around for the next half an hour or so for this show, which will speculate. Guaranteed. And perhaps sing as well.

Welcome all folk far, fair, and friendly, this is the AntiSF Radio Show Hardcastle. Nebula, that is, glowing away in Centaurus, and giving us a name for this show. Numbers are okay, and if you want one of those then it's show 161. I'm also duty bound by more than numbers to say that I'm Nuke, your host and editor, and thanks for listening in with me for the next half an hour or so. More filking to come, as promised, some Norse-like fantasy epic poetry that will give you goosebumps, and a queer fog that just may hail from Romania. Let's launch, and roar off with that poem.

Hey, as they say on Real Humans, greetings and felicitations. Thanks for joining me. I'm Nuke, editor of AntipodeanSF and the source of the voice that emerges from my own particular set of genetic characteristics. Here's the AntipodeanSF Radio Show GR8, to put it in the International phonetic alphabet, Golf Romeo Eight, produced for your listening pleasure wherever you happen to be. Like GR8 it may be debatable as to whether you are a part of the local group or not. Similarly, you may be somewhat gas rich and irregular. But we won't hold that against you. AntiSF is for everybody, and especially lovers of short speculative fiction. So that's exactly what you're going to get. Two stories from our online and ebook pages, and first of a four part presentation by Ann Poore introducing Filking to us folk who attended Contact 2016, the Aussie Natcon this year over Easter in Brisbane. Stories First, folks.

G’day and welcome to this AntipodeanSF Radio Show, designated “Grus Quartet”. I’m your usual host and editor, Nuke, and if you stick with me for the remainder of the show I promise you’ll have heard at least two good stories, one of them new, and one of them from AntiSF’s very first foray into audio story presentation on the web back in the year 2001, so it’s a Flashback. We will also close the show with the last of the audio from the panel at Contact called “Dead Ends & Red Herrings”, with a number of audience questions, spawning various rambling answers. As for the Grus Quartet, it’s a group of four large and rather close, therefore tidally interacting galaxies. Things are churning out there.

Live long and prosper, fellow speculative fiction lovers, and stay tuned to whatever channel or audio source you’re currently on because it’s time for the AntipodeanSF Radio Show “The Garland”. Hi, I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and here we are with two stories from the pages of AntipodeanSF online back in issue 213 in April 2016. And about the Garland, well it’s appropriately strange, a dwarf collection of knots of blue stars in what’s known as the M81 group.

Appropriate, these strange things in the skies. Stick around, though, for some strange happenings in a couple of stories under our skies.

G’day and welcome to the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Fourcade-Figueroa, a faint cousin who probably dared to tangle with Centaurus A in the past and came out of the encounter somewhat shredded. I’m your editor and host, Nuke, and I think that’s a good description of what our own encounter with speculative fiction should do to us — tangle and shred the mind, but leave us intact to regroup and shine.

In today’s show, those dodgy metaphors aside from me, you’ll hear two stories from Anti-Antipodeans, one of them about human resources in the face of progress, and the other possibly about human resources in the face of an unusual setting. Later in the show we’ll hear more of the panel discussion about crime specfic from Contact 2016 in Brisbane, during that astronomically-based event, Easter.

For now, though, let’s have some stories. That’s what we’re all about, after all.

Greetings and salutations fellow specfic lovers. I’m your host and editor Nuke, and this is the AntiSF Radio Show Fornax Dwarf. Of all the dwarfs hanging around the Milky Way it is intrinsically one of the brightest, but it’s so far away that the light we see now left the galaxy back in the Ordovician era, when Nautiloids ruled the seas and a mass extinction event was about to turn life on earth in a different direction. So it’s not so bright.

Not sure that’s really where I wanted to go with this spiel, but let’s stick with it, anyway. Not so bright. Well, that’s almost the opposite of what I want to say when it comes to the contributors to AntipodeanSF. Always bright, they are, although I must admit that sometimes the underlying message of their words may be hidden in darknesses.

Anyway, now that we’ve seen the darkness, as opposed to the light, why not stick with me now for the next half an hour or so for two stories from the pages of AntipodeanSF online, one that questions our questions, and another to question the motives of us and the other. We’ll also hear a segment from a panel at the recent Aussie National SF Convention “Contact” in Brisbane about crime in speculative fiction.

On with those stories though, and we hope we’re not 460 million years too late.

G’day and welcome. Are you listening to us on a radio? And if you are, have you heard Fornax A? Here’s the subtle connection. Radio station 2NVR modulates a signal centred at a frequency of 105.9 million hertz, while Fornax A is the fourth brightest radio collective in the firmament measured at a frequency of 1400 million Hertz, but you will need a radio telescope not just a radio to listen in.

In the meantime, it’s time for the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Fornax A, dedicated to the Memories of Lorna Davis. Who’s that? Well, that’s about to resolve — and without the use of interferometry.

Greetings and salutations, it’s another AntipodeanSF Radio Show, today designated Fath 703. What’s that fath all about? Well, it’s like this. I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and Fath 703 is named after Arthur Edward Fath, astronomer, who was instrumental in the discovery that spiral nebulae were huge collections stars at a distance. One of those spirals, 703, now bears his name.

Also bearing names is AntipodeanSF, where speculative fiction is downside-up, and for your tipping point today we have two stories, one old one new. We’ve done a few of these kinds of shows lately, and there is a structure. Let’s keep it up. New first, then.

Draco Dwarf is never thrown. G’day and welcome to the AntiSF Radio Show sporting that name. But what’s that. Well, it’s spheroidal like a soccer ball, and it is part of the Local Group, actually yet another satellite of the Milky Way, and is currently about 261 million light years away. Not so far by recent shows.

Speaking of show, here are. Stick with me — I’m Nuke by the way — and we’ll hear two stories from the pages of AntipodeanSF. One of them from Issue 212 of the magazine, the other a Flashback to a classic story from Angela Slatter from Issue 74, out in July 2004. Let’s go new first, shall we?
