AntipodeanSF

Good day to you. I know why you’re here. It’s the stories. I’m here for that too, on the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Antennae. I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and this fine morning, afternoon, evening or night you and I are about to partake in the internal creation of worlds from four different authors. There will be music too.

Greetings specfic fans and welcome to the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Andromeda. On a collision course with the Milky Way, no less, but currently two and a half million light years distant, named after the mythological princess Andromeda since the great galaxy is visible within that constellation. Is there a story in there? I’m sure there is. Andromeda, after all, is the biggest of the big when it comes to the local group, and has at least twice as many stars as the Milky Way. Twice as many stories, perhaps.

Speaking of stories, why not listen in with me — and I’m Nuke by the way, your host and editor. Settle back now in your chosen place and time, to hear a show that features two stories, one of them from a name that graced the pages of AntipodeanSF way back in the early years, and another by a new mind to contribute a story to a recent Issue.

G’day, but not said in a way that can be traced back to drunk ancestors as some might like us to believe, from this Aussie magazine, radio show, and host of same. Hi, I’m Nuke, and this is, as you may have apprehended, the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Ambartsumian’s Knot. What? Well, it’s like this. The Knot is a part of a group known as the guitar, but this is not for playing. It’s a dwarf about 400 million light years distant, dancing in a spray of gravitational forces ripping streams and knots of stars into patterns that we can see.

Here at AntiSF we can see that far, but this episode has no guitars, although it may have some knots of the mind, and streams and sprays of consciousness. Please stick with me for the next half an hour or so for three ripping speculative stories and just a little music to bind them.

G’day and welcome speculative flash fiction lovers, and welcome to the AntiSF Radio Show Markeb. I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and I’m here to intro the stories, throw in a little music, and be your guide for a half an hour or so of storytime.

In this humble show you’ll be amazed at the profundity of the web, perhaps be scarred by the Square Kilometre Array, and take the first step on a planned addiction.

G’day. Greetings earthlings. Do you know how to find Alderamin?. Looking at the constellation Cepheus helps. Therein lives a star that’s also designated Alpha Cephei. The star is relatively close to our solar system at only 49 light years. Ah relatively, is the key. Do you really know now far 49 light years is? Do you really know how far one light year is. The distances in this universe are almost beyond imagination. But back to the star. It has the traditional name Alderamin, an Arabic name meaning "the right arm".

And here we are, rain pattering on the roof, Alderamin in action but hidden, glowing somewhere that I cannot see it because it’s behind the curvature of the planet on which we live.

And as for on this side of that planet, It’s no longer winter, warmth is coming, but there is still time for a winter’s tale — and for us to get down on the pharmaceuticals. Story time by the way. And I’m Nuke, your host and editor. Two tales, and some down-under music about to assault your ears.

G’dady hashtag specfic and hashtag flashfiction fans, it’s time for the AntipodeanSF Radio show Sabik. Today we’re full of it — flash fiction, Aussie music and some from elsewhere, and me. Hi, I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and I’ll be with you to guide you through some of this flak, so wear the jacket and keep listening.

Welcome, welcome. Step right up and take a peek at this wonderful ball of hydrogen. Phecda be thy name. Phecda be thy nature. It’s familiar to most observers in the northern hemisphere as the lower-left star forming the bowl of the Big Dipper, together with Dubhe (upper-right), Merak (lower-right) and Megrez (upper-left). It is a main sequence star not unlike Sol, although somewhat hotter, brighter and larger.

Phecda, by the way, is also this show. Hi, I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and today we’re going to hear two stories from the pages of AntipodeanSF, a magazine that has its roots in the stars of the southern cross, or is perhaps under magellanic clouds.

What is it that gives us that elan vital, and if you had only limited words to tell the history of time, how would you go about it? Nick Clark and Harris Tobias try to answer those questions.

Dare I say it’s a pile of Scheat? I do so dare, and I dare also say welcome to the AntipodeanSF Radio Show Scheat, podcast 125 if I’m counting, which I’m often not. Thanks for joining me. As Marie says at the beginning of each show, I’m Nuke, your editor and host on this here radio show.

Stick around for the next twenty five minutes or so for a fictional feast. I guarantee that you’ll go leaping for carbon, dioxide perhaps, find out who really needs equine animals, and identify the weird in a single gene by author name at least.

As for Scheat, it’s one of the four main stars in the great square of the constellation Pegasus, currently visible in the evening skies here in the Antipodes. We’ve had Alpheratz, this is Scheat, and four shows inot the future is Markeb. Which leaves Algenib to come As for Pegasus, the legend goes like this: Pegasus was born from the blood of Medusa after Perseus had cut off her head, and was afterwards tamed and ridden by Bellerophon. Being weary of earthly affairs Bellerophon attempted to fly to heaven but fell off, and Pegasus continued his course, entered heaven and took his place among the stars.

And isn’t that where we’d all like to be?

All Aussie music and stories from the AntipodeanSF magazine. It’s so downside up. G’day and welcome to the AntiSF Radio Show Aludra, stuck there in the big dog, nice and steady blue supergiant of a star with about twenty times the mass of sol.

I’m Nuke, your host and editor, and coming up on this show you’ll hear another biting tale from the sharpened pen nib of Shaun Saunders, and a fractured tale from another Antipodean author, Mark Attwood, who appeared in the magazine, which you can always find at www.antisf.com.au, for the first time a little while back. So this is also Mark’s first outing on the radio show. Welcome.

G’day and welcome to the AntiSF Radio Show Enif. As if enif is not enough. That, my friends, is my tip of the hat to a speculative fiction writer who featured on our pages in the early days of AntiSF, and has appeared on the radio show with some of those previous stories, Jason Fischer, pun overlord of our close community, and arch causer of groans. Perhaps I’m in good company.

And perhaps you are too. Enif is another pesky star, also known as Epsilon Pegasi, right on the nose of the winged horse, an orange supergiant that is actually the brightest star in that asterism, despite its nomenclature. Which just goes to show that you can’t trust a name. Not even in speculative fiction.

All you can trust is destabilisation and questions, and perhaps a little fun laced with horror.

Stick with me now for two stories from the pages of a recent issue of AntipodeanSF online, one of them about a lost alien Aussie hero in the terror war, by an Aussie, and the other, simply about a lost alien, similarly embroiled in the terror war, by a podean resident. No, no terriers involved in this terror.
