AntipodeanSF

G’day and welcome to The AntipodeanSF Radio Show Cygnus A. G’day, I’m Nuke, and I’m here to introduce what is to us here in the Sol system, one of the strongest radio sources in the sky. It was discovered by Grote Reber in 1939. Later, in 1951, Cygnus A was identified with an optical source, in this case becoming the first radio galaxy. Something big’s happening at Cygnus A, since two radio jets extend many times its width, easily visible even though we’re 600 million light years away, and there are two intense hot spots at the far edge of the jets, where ejected material is colliding with the intergalactic medium. If you’ve read Contact, by Carl Sagan — and why haven’t you if that’s the case, go and get on with that soon.

Now. Where was I. Oh yes. In Contact, Cygnus A makes an appearance as the result of intelligences actively creating a galaxy.

Creation. That’s what we’re all about here on the show. So let’s do it. Two stories today from Issue 212 of AntipodeanSF magazine, a story that’s perhaps a gender-bender, and the second with a bend in the details.

G’day to you from 480 million light years hence in the direction of the constellation of Leo. That’s it, close to Denebola. There are seven of us grouped out here, and I think we were first spotted by our namesake astronomer observed at Birr Castle in the field of view of the 72-inch "Leviathan of Parsonstown", the biggest telescope in the world back in 1845. Irish and all.

Top o the cosmos to you. Welcome all sentients. This is the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Copeland’s Septet.

Hi, I’m Nuke, your host and editor. Thanks for joining me. Stick around for the next twenty minutes or so for two stories from the pages of the longest running online speculative magazine down under. Issue 215 is out now. Go read it. But not right now. Stick around for Psychology 102. That’s two stories, a recent one about positive intervention, and a flashback to the AntiSF in year 2000 for some forgiveness.

Welcome all, welcome one. This is the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Coddington’s, first spotted way way back in 1898. G’day, I’m Nuke your host and editor, and we’ll also be heading way way back in AntiSF history for a flashback from a hundred years later, 1998. Stick around for that.

G’day again and welcome to the AntiSF Radio show Circinus, coming at you from 13 million light-years away. Circinus, like speculative fiction should, is undergoing tumultuous changes, as rings of gas are being ejected from it. And Circinus is sneaky. Although it can be seen using a small telescope, it was not noticed until 1977 because it lies close to the plane of the Milky Way and is obscured by galactic dust.

Hopefully, not so obscured any more are our stories and authors, two of them featured today right here inside Circinus.

G’day and welcome to another AntipodeanSF Radio Show. I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and I’m we’re here today to listen together to Centaurus A, of course in the constellation of Centaurus. In fact, there is a link to us antipodean dwellers, since it was discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop from his home in Parramatta.

Are you in the middle of a cartwheel? Chances are you are and you just didn’t know it. Only ours is called the Milky Way, black hole in the guts and all.

Welcome SF F and H fans. You know what that means. Thanks for joining me for another AntipodeanSF Radio Show, beaming at you from Nambucca Heads in this great southern land -- and it is indeed called Cartwheel. In this show you’ll hear two stories from Issue number 211 of AntipodeanSF online, the electronic magazine that’s devoted to downside up fiction of a speculative nature. You’ll also be treated to some local live music. And yes, we may even talk to the musicians themselves about the genre.

What would you do if a touch of rain made you feel a little strange? Would you follow your faith to the ends of the earth? Two tales here to question but possibly NOT give you the answers you expect.

Carina Dwarf by name, but our nature is to be the AntipodeanSF Radio Show, featuring mostly flash fiction, mostly written down-under, and always speculative — however we define that. Hi, I’m Nuke your host and editor, and welcome to this show which features fiction from two Aussie authors, one from the West, and another from the south.

Take a sip straight from the Carafe, but please don’t choke. You must remain sentient and aware in order to enjoy the coming stories in this very show, The AntiSF Radio Show Carafe. As big as a star universe, of course. You’ll never swallow it all.

But I’m being cryptic. Hi, I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and I’m here to share two stories with you from Issue 210 of AntipodeanSF online, always available at antisf.com.au. Or without the au, as you choose.

A holey welcome to you and yours. It’s the AntipodeanSF radio show BW Tauri, terminology that I will leave for to you to look up in our worldwide groupmind. Perhaps later. I’ll be your host for BW Tauri whether you go or stay, but the latter is the recommended course of action because along with holey music — and that’s holey with an “e”, you’ll hear about holes, perhaps black, and also about what’s on the mysterious log from Scavenger Marks Time. We’ve all been waiting for that. So...

Holes first, perhaps.

Greetings be with you, if not the force. Welcome and thanks for joining me, Nuke, for the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Burbidge Chain, in which we’ll have no chains at all. In fact, we’ll unleash the chains of your minds with two fine stories from the pages of AntipodeanSF Issue 210, recently online at antisf.com.au.

And if you missed it, why not grab the electronic reader version of the magazine for your device. Follow the link at the site to find all of our recent back-issues.

In the meantime, stick with me while we get robocalled and disneyfied in story, and catch some fine Aussie, Austrian and German music.

On with the show, feathered and non-feathered friends:
