CNIB client, advocate and artist Yvonne Felix joins podcast host James Denas for one last foray into all things sci-fi.

Books referenced include: “Planet of Dinosaurs” (Anne McCaffrey), “Ember from the Sun” (Mark Canter), the Time Quintet (a series by Madeleine L’Engle) and “Jurassic Park” (Michael Crichton).

In our fifth of six conversations about science fiction, we feature Dr. Mahadeo Sukhai (CNIB’s Head of Research and Chief Accessibility Officer).

Podcast host James Denas and the doctor go deep on topics like the role science fiction plays in the development of future scientists, where science fiction becomes science fantasy and why Star Trek is the superior series. They also reference “the Songs from Distant Earth” by Arthur C Clarke.

In our fourth of six conversations about science fiction, we give you an interview with CNIB narrator David Plant.

Topics covered include the definition of hard science fiction, science fiction noir, Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov.

In our third of six conversations about science fiction, we give you an interview with narrator Bennett McCardle.

Topics covered include the definition of anthropological science fiction, the difference between sci-fi and fantasy and the importance of consistency in storytelling.

In our second of six conversations about science fiction, we interview CNIB narrator Mairi Fulcher.

Mairi and James examine the allure of sci-fi and then take a deep dive on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein (the Modern Prometheus)” and “Machines Like Me” by Ian McEwan.

In the first of six trips down the rabbit hole of science fiction, we interview CNIB volunteer narrator Annabelle Forde.

She gets into the early days of her sci fi fandom, the rise of the genre and the link between it and modern culture. James and Annabelle then talk post apocalyptic science fiction - in particular “Moonseed” by Stephen Baxter.

Our summer 2019 topic on CNIB: Read is Science Fiction.

Podcast host James Denas introduces the genre as he preps for upcoming interviews with CNIB Recording Studio audiobook narrators, and more!
